Cold foil creates a silvery surface similar to hot foil stamping, but it offers a lot more possibilities by being an inline process which can be flexibly integrated into printing, making overprinting and coating possible.
The opportunities of graphic planning are almost limitless, as cold foil can be applied like a fifth color. We may create different shades of metallic colors on overprinted surfaces, or prepare print patterns, headlines or letters of very fine lines by applying cold foil.
The treatment guarantees a perfectly accurate result, as the transparent glue is printed on the design elements to be highlighted using conventional offset plate, on which a layer of silver foil is applied from the second printing unit. After printing the graphic the printing can be varnished on demand.
WE RECOMMEND IT TO:
Postcards
Brochure covers
Posters
Packaging materials
Advantages:
The treatment can be applied inline with printing, this way it guarantees a quick and accurate result.
There is no need for clichés in order to create silvery surfaces, thus in case of an appropriate number of copies the process is cost-effective.
Disadvantages:
Maximum sheet size printable using cold foil: B2 720 x 520 mm.
Its use is not recommended on creative, structured surface raw materials, as a rough surface refracts the gloss of the foil.
