What is cold foils?

Cold foils are a special type of metallic film used in the printing industry to create a gold, silver, or other metallic finish on printed materials without the need for hot stamping equipment. They are applied to paper or other materials using a process called cold foil printing, which involves applying a specially formulated adhesive along with a thin layer of foil to the surface of the printed material. The foil is then transferred to the surface using pressure and cured with UV light, creating the desired metallic effect. Cold foils are popular in the packaging, labeling, and branding industries for creating high-end, eye-catching designs on products such as wine bottles, cosmetics, and luxury goods. They offer benefits such as excellent adhesion, durability, and environmental friendliness, as they can be recycled easily.
