Digital Foil labels
Digital Foil applies metallic foil only to chosen parts of a label, such as the logo, name or a pattern, using a digital process instead of a metal stamping die. You get a true foil shine with no die to make, which suits short runs and multiple designs. Foil colors include gold, rose gold, silver, holographic, red and blue.

Digital Foil labels questions
All labelsWhat is digital foil on a label?
Digital foil is metallic foil applied to selected areas of a label through a digital process rather than a stamping die. It gives the shine of foil on logos and details without making a die, and it comes in gold, rose gold, silver, holographic, red and blue.
Digital foil vs hot foil stamping?
Hot foil stamping uses a custom metal die with heat and pressure. Digital foil needs no die, so it's better suited to short runs, frequent design changes and several products.
Can I use digital foil on a Soft Touch label?
Yes. Foil over a matte or Soft Touch base is one of the most popular premium label combinations.
