Silver, Golden Cold Stamping Foil

Cold Stamping Foil Pioneered in the development of cold foiling technology which transformed the economics and flexibility of foil stamping in the 1990s. Unlike hot stamping, this technique uses a low cost printing plate to lay down adhesive in the image area. After the foil has been brought into contact, the adhesive is cured by UV light or oxidative drying before the carrier film is stripped away. Cold-foiling allows for faster processing and saves on tooling costs, although hot stamping foil still gives better results on rougher, uncoated substrates, has greater opacity and is available in a broader range of Narrow web cold foils are now widely used for reel-to-reel label production on filmic materials and coated paper, where foiling units integrated into the printing press...
