Foil Printing
Creating a Metallic Effect on Your Labels
While we don’t offer foil printing, we can create a stunning metallic effect using metallic base materials like Metallic Plastic or Rainbow Holographic Plastic.
How It Works:
- We print with translucent inks, so colors retain the metallic shine of the material. For example, printing yellow creates a metallic gold effect.
For solid or opaque areas, we print a white primer layer (called “spotwhite”) underneath. This blocks the metallic effect and results in a solid color.
What to Do:
Let us know which areas you want metallic and which you want solid by adding a spotwhite layer to your artwork.
