It is important that you take the time to research all your printing options before you make the final decision on your printing/label needs. How do you want it to look? What types of materials do you want to use? How many packages/labels do you need? Can you realistically scale up to produce a lot of your product(s) that would necessitate a lot of label needs? Without a doubt, there are many ways to make your products stand out on the shelves. One way to increase your products’ shelf appeal is through cold foil stamping. Below you will find some basic information regarding cold foil stamping.
What is Cold Foil Stamping?
Cold Foil Stamping, also known as Cold Foil Printing, is a method where metallic foil is affixed onto a substrate via an adhesive. This method can be done in-line on a press using a standard printing plate. The first step is applying an UV-curable adhesive to the substrate. Next, the foil and the substrate are pressed together. Then, a UV dryer activates the adhesive. The final product is a label that is aesthetically appealing and durable – providing your product with a beautiful, long shelf-life. Common uses are household consumables, wine/beer labels, cosmetic products, etc.
Why should I consider Cold Foil Stamping?
Cold foil stamping uses printing plates to produce labels, packaging, etc. These plates are relatively inexpensive and can be made in a short timeframe – which allows for a quick production time and a quick turnaround time. Additionally, cold foil stamping allows for a wide range of colors because the color is applied after the foil is adhered to the paper. Moreover, cold foil stamping works well for both short, and long, runs. Furthermore, cold foil stamping works on a variety of substrates – meaning we can help you create labels for a variety of products, packages, etc. Lastly, the finished products resulting from cold foil stamping are truly beautiful. The metallic foil will help make your products more luxurious, more aesthetically appealing, and help them jump off the store shelves.
