What is Cold Printing?

Estimated Reading Time: < 1 min

Cold foil stamping is a modern method for adding metallic accents to packaging, cards, and brochures. It’s particularly well-suited for intricate designs and ideal for embellishing brand logos, text, or other design elements.

 

Here’s how it works:

1. A UV-curable adhesive is printed onto specific areas of your design.

2. A thin layer of metallic foil is then pressed onto the adhesive.

3. Ultraviolet light cures the adhesive, permanently bonding the foil to the substrate.

 

The resulting metallic finish has a more subtle sheen compared to traditional hot foil stamping, offering a unique aesthetic advantage. This matte-like quality opens doors for creative branding opportunities.
