cold foil

Product Description

Cold foils (PFX Grade) ******-
The trend of using cold foils in label printing industry is keeping on growing today. Our cold foils can offer fine edge definition and impressive gloss, and especially allow printing after stamping process. Here we can provide not only bright gold and silver colors, but also holographic designs.
PFX grade foils is suitable for all the above substrates but the amount of adhesive printed needs to be controlled to compensate for the porosity and roughness of the substrate and to suit the level of detail being printed.  Best results are normally achieved if papers are primed with a varnish or ink underneath the foil.

Stamping substrates
 Self adhesive labels on semi-gloss and gloss papers and filmic substrates
 Advertising  materiel
 Web printed cartons
 Food packaging
 Cosmetics
 Label , self- adhesive labels
 Non-food packaging
 Magazines

Prosperities overview
 PFX grade has free release to allow high speed use
 PFX grade has controlled metal thickness in order to allow passage of enough UV light through the foil to cure the adhesive.  PFX grade is less opaque than standard hot stamping foils.
 In conjunction with suitable adhesives PFX gives similar or superior resistance properties to hot stamping foils.

Stamping machine details
 UV flexo and letterpress presses
 Application is at room temperature

Foils applying process:
The following steps are involved in the through carrier dieless process:
 A free radical UV adhesive is web printed onto the substrate using conventional printing equipment, in exactly the same way as an ink or varnish would
 Foil is nipped on at a laminator immediately after the print unit
 Foil is passed through the UV lamp in contact with the adhesive
 The waste carrier is removed leaving the foiled image
