Cold stamping

This is an innovative and exclusive metallic printing method. Cold stamping permits the creation of attractive effects through the cold application of metal foils, primarily on packaging, labels and on the covers of magazines and catalogues. This specific type of processing is now offered as an add-on directly in offset presses. The most commonly used systems are FoilStar (Heidelberg) and VinFoil (KBA). This surface finishing method gives the client significant appreciation of their printed material. The advantage of the process itself is that common printing inks and other finishing effects can be applied to the metallic layer during the same operation. It is also commonly used in flexographic printing.
