Mylar bag finish
Hot-Stamp Foil mylar bags
Hot-stamp foil uses heat and pressure to bond real metallic foil onto chosen parts of a mylar bag, usually the logo or product name. It gives a bright, true-metal shine that printed metallic ink can't match.

Hot-Stamp Foil mylar bags questions
All mylar bagsWhat colors does foil stamping come in?
Gold and silver are most common, and colored metallic foils are also available.
Is foil better than metallic ink on a mylar bag?
