Though we continue to offer conventional foil stamping, over the last two years most of our clients have transitioned to our new, more environmentally friendly method of creating a foiled (metallic) look.

However, our clients have not conceded the metallic aesthetic that makes their packaging distinctive and appealing. Below are the drivers that continue to make the transition to our foil stamping alternative so attractive.

Eco-Friendly "Foiling".

By choosing to eliminate foil stamping over pre-printed graphics, you choose to eliminate the associated materials and wasteful processes. For example, you will choose to eliminate the foil applied to your label and the foil wasted in the process, which goes into landfill. Your choice will also eliminate the foil plate and the solvent required to create the plate. Lastly, you'll have eliminated the overall stock footage waste associated with registering the application of foil over pre-printed labels.

Improved Foil/Metallic Aesthetics.

Our clients are thrilled that they are no longer limited to the graphic constraints of foil stamping. Traditional foil stamping does not offer refined screens of a metallic color, must be a size that meets foiling parameters, cannot perfectly register to pre-printed graphics, and does not offer a large color gamut.

The process we have refined to deliver a metallic "foiled" look offers solutions to all of the above graphic constraints. With state-of-the-art Digital presses and highly developed pre-press manipulations, we print directly onto silver metallic appearing paper. We can create (print) most any color with a metallic appearance. On the same label, we also create a non-metallic look wherever you prefer. Our registration of metallic to non-metallic colors is always exact and does not require any level of trapping. Additionally, we can print an isolated screen with a metallic appearance and, or a more opaque colored screen that blends into a metallic look. Because the options are endless we encourage you to ask us for samples and discuss your graphics with us.

Lower Your Label Cost.

By selecting our method of achieving metallic graphics, you will eliminate the foil stamping plate(s) cost and reduce your cost per label. Talk to us about providing comparative pricing and you will see significant cost savings.

Receive Your Labels Faster.

By eliminating foil stamping you will eliminate the time to order a foil stamping plate and the added time to apply the foiling to the preprinted graphics. Shipment of foil stamped orders is typically one week longer than non-foil stamp orders.

Label Prototyping Made Easier.

Our new method enables clients to economically and quickly preview multiple versions of their labels graphics. We can help you create multiple labels with different colors and graphic elements on a 12" X 17" frame. They will be printed and varnished with the same technology that will produce your production order. So, give our label experts a call and eliminate surprises on your next label order!
