Hot foil, or as it is also quite popular, "gold printing", is the only printing technology of its kind that allows the printing of images with a real gold or silver color, as well as different colors with a metallic effect. When applying this unique technology, it is necessary to create a cliché of the printable element. After making the cliché (which has a mirror image) with the help of foil, high temperature and pressure is the printing itself, and the results are amazing to say the least. The technology allows execution with different color foils depending on availability - gold, silver, blue, green , hologram and others. Although gold and silver are the most common, metallic foils are available and available in the full range of colors. The main goal of gold printing is to create unique and truly impressive visions that are distinguished by their luxury and sophistication. This is a technology with which you create luxury and really noticeable products.
Can be combined with dry embossing, offset printing. It is applied both on kraft paper and on papers with laminate.
Dry embossing is a technology that does not use ink. To obtain the desired impression, a pre-prepared cliche is used, which is pressed to the respective material. There are two types of dry embossing - convex and concave. The convex embossing is most often used for pressing paper and cardboard, and it has two clichés - male and female or negative and positive, which are pressed against the material to obtain the desired convex imprint. In the case of the concave embossing, only one cliché is used, which is pressed against the respective material only on the upper side. In general, dry embossing resembles hot (gold) printing technology, with the difference that it does not use foil. Dry embossing is also called embossing, due to the convex or concave images that are obtained. The depth of the relief can vary, depending on the desired end effect and the strength of the applied pressure. In many cases, embossing is combined with hot stamping. Often used in combination with hot stamping, the convex embossing changes the surface of the media by giving a three-dimensional or raised effect to the selected locations. In general, the convex embossing is most often used to attract attention and achieve a quality contrast with the surrounding design of the product.
In many cases of practice, embossing is combined with hot stamping, but also with offset printing.
UV varnish is a special varnish coating with a very high gloss effect and is formed under the influence of ultraviolet lamps. Selective varnishing allows individual elements of the printed image to stand out in the foreground. For greater effect, different combinations can be used between the base, which is applied to the paper, such as laminating film and different UV varnishes - gloss, matte, different types of glitter. Which allows ordinary printed production to become a work of art. Creates a shiny surface on the material - paper or cardboard. It is applied after printing and gives a luxurious look to the paper bag.
It is most often used on bags with matte laminate.
Volumetric selective varnish: as its name suggests, this thicker varnish creates a volume effect in the areas and elements where it is applied. This technology literally puts selective varnish in a new dimension. In addition to visually having the appearance of embossing, the voluminous selective varnish moves and breathes life into the design!
It is most often used on bags with matte laminate.
