How We Elevate Visual Appeal With Premium Add-ons and Finishes

Metallic foiling is a heat and pressure process that transfers a thin reflective foil onto selected areas. It adds shine, contrast and a premium focal point for logos, seals and titles.

Popular shades include gold, silver, rose gold, copper, holographic and pigment foils. Smooth, coated or matte dark surfaces maximize contrast and make foils appear brighter.

Coated folding carton, rigid board and litho-laminated corrugated accept foil well. Uncoated kraft can also work with the right primer and bold artwork.

Embossing raises the surface using matched dies to create a three-dimensional effect. It adds tactile interest and natural shadows that boost legibility.

Debossing presses the artwork into the surface to form a recessed impression. It delivers a subtle, elegant look and pairs well with ink or foil.

Rigid board holds clean edges and deeper relief, so textures feel pronounced and durable. It is a strong choice for luxury lids, badges and monograms.

Window patching applies a clear film to the inside of a die-cut opening. Automated patching seals the aperture so shoppers can see the product while keeping dust out.

A cutout is an open aperture with no film. It invites touch or scent sampling and reduces material but exposes contents to handling and dust.

Choose patching for food, cosmetics and small parts that need protection. Choose a cutout for tactile sampling, ventilation or a minimal look.

Standard PET is recyclable in many local streams and rPET options are available. Always confirm regional recycling guidance and consider clearly marking disposal instructions.

Spot UV is a clear varnish printed only on selected areas and cured with ultraviolet light. It creates high-gloss or matte contrast and improves rub resistance.

Smooth, coated stocks and rigid board show foil, emboss and spot UV best. Kraft and textured liners can work with larger elements and, if needed, a primer.

Yes, combinations such as foil-and-emboss or matte lamination with spot UV are common. Proper registration and the right sequence on press ensure clean results.

Light use of foil and UV typically does not prevent recycling, but heavy film lamination can. If recyclability is critical, consider aqueous coatings and minimal metallic coverage.

Align the finish with brand tone, budget and handling conditions. Request printed proofs on your chosen stock to confirm color, texture and contrast before production.
