The following steps are involved through the carrier of cold foiling process:
  • A free radical UV adhesive is web printed onto the substrate using conventional printing equipment, in exactly the same way as an ink or varnish would.
  • Foil is nipped on at a laminator immediately after the print unit.
  • Foil is passed through the UV lamp in contact with the adhesive.
  • The waste carrier is removed leaving the foiled image.
Stamping substrates
Self adhesive labels on semi-gloss and gloss papers and filmic substrates, Advertising materiel, Web printed cartons, Food packaging, Cosmetics Label , self- adhesive labels, Non-food packaging, Magazines, PFX grade is suitable for all the above substrates but the amount of adhesive printed needs to be controlled to compensate for the porosity and roughness of the substrate and to suit the level of detail being printed. Best results are normally achieved if papers are primed with a varnish or ink underneath the foil.
Prosperities overview
PFX grade has free release to allow high speed use. PFX grade has controlled metal thickness in order to allow passage of enough UV light through the foil to cure the adhesive. PFX grade is less opaque than standard hot stamping foils. In conjunction with suitable adhesives. PFX gives similar or superior resistance properties to hot stamping foils.
