Foiling

A heated metal die of the required design is used to stamp the foil onto the material. These foils are available in a variety of finishes, metallic and matt plus a wide spectrum of colour. Foiling can be applied to most items; including heavy thickness of board.

UV Varnishing

A varnish is applied to selected areas of the design or across the entire piece. The varnish is then cured with UV light which leaves a hard gloss shine where applied and has the effect of lifting the image on a printed piece.

Embossing / Debossing

An engraved die is used to indent an area of design on the paper or board. Embossed makes the image stand out of the paper. Dembossed is the opposite makes the image sink into the paper. Both add an element of touch and feel which can be combined well with other finishes.
