This specialized material, essential for heat-activated foiling systems, applies metallic or pigmented designs to various substrates. It works in conjunction with heat and pressure to transfer a thin layer of the design material, leaving a vibrant and durable finish. A common application includes creating personalized stationery with gold or silver accents.
The use of this material allows for intricate designs and vibrant colors not easily achieved through traditional printing methods. It adds a premium, professional touch to projects, enhancing visual appeal and perceived value. From its origins in commercial printing, this technology has become increasingly accessible for smaller businesses and hobbyists, opening up new avenues for creative expression and customized products.
