Learn to use custom-registered holography for maximum shelf impact
Luxurious Brilliance: Hot foil stamping is the process of applying foil using a heated die. The metal die strikes heat-sensitive foil, pressing it into the substrate, thereby leaving foil only in the area of die contact and binding it to the...
To maximize run efficiency with multiple foil colors, allow ample clearance area between colors in your layout (discuss run direction with vendor).
ITW Foils can transform your artwork into a holographic design and deliver a quick-turnaround proof of both the holographic design as well as your print overlay (including opaque whites). ITW Foils will work with you to refine the artwork as...
Foil stamping thin, tightly grouped lines may require a special foil formulation to avoid distortions in the paper. For production compatibility, see the ITW Hot Foils Grades chart.
When overprinting foils, Ink and foil both should be checked to ensure compatibility, as not all inks work for overprinting and not all foils will receive ink. UV printing is generally recommended.
“Custom origination” is the process of creating one-of-a-kind holographic treatments. Holographic specialists can work with your provided design to integrate holography. The result of this process is a light-diffracting surface that registers to your artwork, imbuing it with striking and...
Consider the typical lighting environment of your viewing audience when viewing colors. For the critical color matching required by certain brands, partnering with a ITW Foils for custom color formulations can be a great solution.
Although ITW Foils offers formulations for all your production challenges, there are some rules of thumb when it comes to using foils with type. Typefaces generally appear bolder when foiled, so you may want to set type loosely and with...
