Digital foil is a type of foil that is used in the digital printing process to create metallic or glossy effects on printed materials. It is a transfer film that is applied to the surface of the printed material using heat and pressure, creating a shiny or metallic finish.
Digital foil allows the process of applying a hot stamping foil to an ink or varnish, without the requirement of a die. Digital foiling allows greater flexibility in terms of design personalization and run length. It creates an area of metallic color such as gold, silver, red, or even holographic, for an extra embellishment on a logo or specific detail.
Foiling focuses on the choice of equipment, foil stamping time, temperature control of the substrate and the quality of the corresponding foil stamping. The expandability of high quality foil stamping is enhanced and the application range is wider.
Digital foil stamping is a modern process of foiling that uses digital technology to create intricate designs and patterns. Here are some of its features and applications:
