Foil

This special printing procedure consists of using heat to transfer coloured or metal foils onto paper or cardboard. There is a broad range of colours available in metal foil, both in silver and gold. It is also possible to print foils to give them a hologram effect.
Foil printing can be used in combination with offset, but also with other special techniques applied by Arps, such as die-stamping and embossing. One of the many applications of foil printing is the adding of a token of value to printed matter such as certificates, diplomas and similar.
