Innovative Labeling Techniques

Cold Foil – a vibrant foiling technique where an image is printed onto the label substrate with the use of a special UV-curable cold foil adhesive

MiraFoil – a precise ink which creates foil in any design and color
Motion Coat – a mixture of texture and color which creates a holographic look which catches the light
Embossing – an impression on the label which uplifts desired features
Tactile Screen – a coating applied to labeling features to create a raised look
Cast & Cure – a multi-color, holographic aesthetic which changes colors as it catches the light
Tri-Panel Labeling – a booklet style label which can be opened to provide the customer with more information on the product
