Applications with Hot Foil
Emphasise Texts, Areas and Image Contours
Roll labels with hot foil stamping are particularly popular for standing out from the competition and drawing the customer’s attention to your own product.
Embossed labels are often found in the wine, champagne, spirits or cosmetics industry and on high-quality food products. Hot foil stamping gives your labels a special surface texture that refracts light. It can also be combined with numerous other finishes, such as an enhancing film lamination or protective varnish. Make sure your products leave an individual, exclusive and unmistakable impression.
You can have your labels embossed with hot foil in different colours. There is also the option of ‘multiple hot foil stamping’. This means that you can combine several foils to achieve special effects, instead of choosing just one.
How Does it Work?
When labels are embossed with hot foil, an extremely thin foil is transferred onto the surface of the label in the desired places. These coloured or metallic foils are embossed onto the label using special embossing tools and heat. Labels of this type are often called embossed labels, but hot foil labels as well as labels with foil embossing are also common names. Almost all of our papers and foils are suitable for this effective type of finishing, regardless of whether they are untreated, film-laminated or coated. Thanks to hot foil stamping, sophisticated details can be realised in a particularly elegant and filigree way, creating both visual and haptic contrasts. This eye-catcher is available in a wide variety of versions – there are no limits to your creativity:
- metallic or transparent
- matt or glossy
- in gold or silver
- in copper, bronze or rose gold optics
- in black, red, blue, green or mint green
Please note: Hot foil stamping uses a special tool. Therefore, there may be slight fluctuations in embossing due to production, which in turn may result in the foil not being 100% in the desired position. Furthermore, large-area hot foil stamping with filigree cut-outs can lead to undesired effects such as run-ins or tear-outs in the foil, depending on the material. Please discuss your request with our customer service. We will advise you on your options, either by telephone or by email. We also recommend that you use our proof print to make sure that your label looks as planned.
Metallic Labels
Hot foil stamping is not the only way to create a special, metallic effect. At label.co.uk, you also have the option of printing your labels on metallic paper or with silver-coloured electric ink. This way you make your label a real eye-catcher. Learn more about our metallic labels. You are also welcome to ask our customer service for our sample book with ready-made label examples – especially in metallic look – and check out the different methods.
Protective Varnish
Another finishing option is our protective varnish in matt or gloss. This not only gives your label a higher quality or more eye-catching finish, but also protects it from abrasion. Read more about our protective varnish.
