Cold foils for the printing industry
Suitable for Narrow-Web Flexographic and Sheet-Fed Offset Printing
Cold foils are widely used in the printing and packaging industry to create brilliant metallic effects through high-speed inline production. They are especially suitable for narrow-web flexographic printing and sheet-fed offset printing applications that require premium decoration, flexible design, and efficient mass production.
Unlike traditional hot stamping, cold foil transfer does not require a heated stamping die. The foil is transferred onto the selected area through a cold foil module on a web-fed or sheet-fed printing press, and the printed substrate can then be overprinted with CMYK colors to create a wide range of metallic color effects.
Ginkgo's cold foils are suitable for labels, paper packaging, wine boxes, liquor labels, cigarette boxes, cosmetic packaging, packaging boxes, promotional materials, and premium printed products.
