Hot & Cold Foiling

Hot foiling is a specialised printing technology that uses heat to deposit metallic foil onto a surface, resulting in a rich, reflective finish that gives any product a premium appearance. This process is commonly used for high-end packaging, branding and limited-edition items, giving them an eye-catching metallic shine that improves their overall visual appeal.

Cold foiling, on the other hand, produces a comparable metallic look without the use of heat. This alternative approach is both affordable and adaptable, making it suitable for embellishing a variety of textiles. Cold foiling produces the same dramatic results as hot foiling but has more flexibility in terms of manufacturing techniques and material compatibility, making it a popular choice for both small and large-scale applications.
