  • Full-face foil decoration
  • Registration accuracy allows for finer design detail
  • Gold or silver foils and iridescent effects or holograms
  • Halftone foil dots and lines

Design Considerations

  • For best results, create your design with DIGITAL METAL® in mind, rather than adding it to a pre-existing design.
  • DIGITAL METAL® can be used on partial surfaces as an accent or full surfaces with a bleed.
  • For three-dimensional designs, avoid covering images completely in foil to maximize spatial effects
  • Designs with sharp edges produce best results with DIGITAL METAL® foil. Print soft transitions with ink alone.
  • Exclude foil for rendering of lighter areas, or use DIGITAL DEFRACTION® if foil is desired.
  • Avoid using DIGITAL METAL® on black areas to maintain a deep black color

How it Works

  • The metallic design outline is first printed onto the card’s surface using specialized ink.
  • DIGITAL METAL® foil is applied to the surface, adhering to the ink.
  • The final design is printed on top of the foil, creating unparalleled color, brilliance, and depth.
