Eco - With new manufacturing techniques, foiling is now fully recyclable.
Visually very strong, metallic foils really stand out, often used in packaging, high level brochures and corporate letterheads. Metallic foil has the sharpest edges of all foils allowing fine detail on appropriate substrates. Metalised foils include, gold, silver, brass, copper, aluminium and clear colours
Top Tip:
Try not to go below 12pt for a sans serif font and 14pt for a serif font.
Pigmented foils cover the rest of the colour spectrum, they simulate letterpress printing with the added bonus of hot foiling benefits. Pigmented colours work well on rough and textured surfaces where the heat and pressure smooths out the printed area.
Top Tip:
Try to avoid ultra fine or small type, pigmented foils work best with bold fonts.
If you are looking for a 3D effect, these adaptable foils replicate the shape of a multi-level foiling die creating striking and eye-catching effects.
Top Tip:
Consider the design as waste foil and brass dies are very expensive
