Enhance your labels with metallic effects

Finishing effects such as hot stamping (hot foil) or cold foil allow you to strengthen the visual impact of a label. Used to attract attention on shelves, these techniques offer added aesthetic value while remaining compatible with industrial requirements.

Hot stamping: shine, precision, and relief

As a traditional embellishment process, hot stamping involves applying a metallic film using a heated stamping tool combining pressure and heat. It ensures:

• A sharp and possibly textured finish

• Intense and long-lasting reflections

• Excellent durability over time

This type of finish is often used in the cosmetics, wines and spirits, premium food, and personal care sectors.

Cold foil: finesse and production flexibility

Cold foil is applied without heat, using a UV-reactive adhesive and film. It does not require a heated tool and allows:

• Fast in-line application

• Excellent detail definition

• Better compatibility with heat-sensitive materials

It is particularly suitable for large volumes and high-speed production lines.

Integration with other finishing effects

Hot and cold stamping films are available in a wide range of colors and shades.

They can also create holographic effects, sometimes customized for anti-counterfeiting purposes.

Hot and cold stampings can be combined with other techniques to enrich the appearance:

• Selective or textured varnishes, raised varnish

• Embossing, relief, debossing, Braille texts

• Special inks: scented, thermochromic, phosphorescent, luminescent, or humidity-sensitive

Each project is analyzed beforehand to ensure consistency between design, technical performance, and application constraints.

Options compatible with CSR initiatives

We offer lightweight or partially recyclable foil films and strive to integrate these finishes into a global environmental impact reduction approach.

A technical approach tailored to your needs

Embellishment projects are managed with special attention to production challenges: machine compatibility, formats, speeds, materials, and application conditions.

Our goal: to provide a reliable, industrializable, and aesthetically distinctive solution.
