The Fine Art of
Hotfoil Label Printing…
Over the years we have seen many changes in field of customlabels. The digital label printing
market is growing (for many reasons – another post!) whereas more traditional
processes such as hotfoil seem to be in decline.
Reel to Reel hotfoil label printing is a traditional process
and a variant of hotfoil stamping or blocking.
Basically, a roll of substrate is loaded on one side of the
printer and fed through to a take up rewinder. As the material is automatically fed through
it is die (or butt cutt) to size and a hot stamp presses against a foil to
transfer it to the label. There can be
several colour stations and various finishing options such as lamination.
Hotfoil label printing has many advantages and
disadvantages. It would take too long to
list them all (perhaps another post!) …however,
One of the best features of Hotfoil Label Printing is the
finished result. The photo below shows a
recent job for Liverpool FC. We used a
gold foil on to a matt black vinyl for contrast. The finished job applauded by the client due
to the high quality a low cost.
We have a multitude of processes available to us for your
custom labels so can gladly advise you of the best process for your required
