A Huge Range Of Metallic Colours

We have a number of ways we can offer metallic printing or foil metallic finishes. Each method can be tailored to suit the design that is required.

  1. Metallic Printing: We can print long or short runs of metallic silver or gold inks on our Litho or Digital presses.
  2. Foil Blocking: Your product means we can add a metallic film from a myriad of different metallic colours.
  3. Laminate Foiling: This means we can add foil patterns and colours using heat and pressure application, giving us fantastic results.  (Great results when over-printed, ask for details or samples).

 


There are an amazing range of foil finishes we can offer.  From the popular silver and gold to fluorescent and patterned finishes, the choice is wide and varied.

We can also offer metallic finishes to wall coverings and signs as well as business cards and stationery.

Foil Blocking

Foil Blocking

To get that unique metallic print finish on your business cards or literature, foil blocking or laminate films are the best solution.  But Block foiling offers more than a metallic print finish.  As well as the standard gold and silver foils, we also have a wide variety of colours to choose from and we will work with you to select the best colours to enhance a brand, or to simply add that special touch.

An Array of Block Foiling Choices

With such a large variety of foils to choose from, we can offer a huge range of different finishes from the usual metallic, to matt and iridescent foils that can achieve stunning results.  Traditionally used on invitations and greeting cards, foils are becoming increasingly popular on brochures, packaging and business cards, adding that extra quality to the product.  This has been made possible by the affordability of block foiling not previously available in short run printing.  Our investment in the latest machinery and skilled workforce will give you an unparalleled choice of foil printing at the highest quality.

We're Here to Help

We'd like to help you choose from the foils available.  You are very welcome to visit us here in Cheshire where we can show you the choices or we can send samples out to you.  Our sales team are also on hand to visit you if you would like to discuss in more detail. Foil blocking is also often used in combination with embossing to give the print item a textured feel. See below to find out more about embossing and other speciality print finishes we can apply.

Embossing and debossing

Embossed or Debossed?

This is the processes of creating either raised or recessed relief images and designs in paper and other materials. An embossed pattern is raised against the background, while a debossed pattern is sunken into the surface of the material. With debossing the indentation can then be filled with ink. Ideally to get the best results, embossing and debossing needs to be applied to thicker paper stocks or card and gives your print items a feeling of quality and value.

Embossing your print with foils

To create a greater feeling of luxury, embossing and debossing can be used with block foils or if printing on the HP Indigo printer with special inks such as metallic and fluorescent inks.
