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.
