Hot Foil Blocking

Photo showing Hot Foil BlockingHot foil blocking is a traditional process and is basically metal foil (usually silver or gold foil but can be any other colour) which is used to create shiny metal foil effects on the product.  The process of foil blocking is that a block is made from your design and then the metallic or coloured foil is then impressed onto the paper or board, this is always done after the litho printing element of the job but always before the finishing.

It produces a flat image and is mainly used as a special effect to enhance the overall look and quality of a print job as it adds a very professional effect to any of your business stationery; foiled logos are often incorporated into many corporate identities.

Foiling and embossing can be used on the same image, firstly foiled and then embossed and when combined with embossed images it produces varying tactile effects which will further enhance the printed message and provide shelf appeal.
