Hot Foil Stamping
Labels with hot foil stamping offer a distinctive premium look and feel. During the finishing process, a metallic or coloured foil is applied to the label using heat and a custom-made tool. Logos, text and selected design elements can be enhanced in this way, creating a striking visual effect that helps products stand out on the shelf.
At label.co.uk, hot foil stamping is available in a wide range of colours and can be combined with other finishing techniques to create truly distinctive labels.

Blind embossing creates a raised design without the use of foil or ink. By adding depth and texture to selected areas of the label, it allows logos, text and graphic elements to stand out both visually and to the touch.
As a classic finishing technique in premium label printing, blind embossing creates an elegant interplay of light and shadow that enhances the overall appearance of the label while adding a distinctive tactile dimension.

Relief embossing combines blind embossing and hot foil stamping to create a striking three-dimensional effect. By combining raised elements with metallic or coloured foil, selected design features can be highlighted with exceptional visual impact.
Often regarded as one of the most premium finishing techniques available, relief embossing adds depth, texture and elegance to a label. The combination of embossed surfaces and foil accents creates a distinctive look and feel that helps premium products stand out on the shelf.
Learn moreProtective Varnish
Protective varnish provides an additional layer of protection for your labels against everyday abrasion and wear. Applied after the printing process, it helps preserve the appearance of the printed design while enhancing the overall finish.
Available in both matt and gloss, protective varnish creates a smooth, transparent coating that improves durability and gives labels a refined, professional appearance.
Learn moreFilm Lamination
For enhanced durability and a premium finish, film lamination is an excellent choice. During the finishing process, a thin protective film is applied to the surface of the label, providing increased resistance to abrasion, moisture and everyday handling.
Learn moreDigital Spot Varnish
Add an extra level of sophistication to your labels with digital spot varnish. Applied selectively to specific areas of the design, this transparent coating creates contrast, depth and visual impact by highlighting logos, text and other key design elements.
Unlike traditional spot varnish, digital spot varnish is applied without the need for custom-made tools. This makes it a flexible and efficient finishing technique, while still delivering a premium look and feel.
