Foil Blocking

Foil blocking has been developed using the letterpress principle. A male block is produced using zinc, magnesium, copper or brass. These are process engraved.
The block is heated on press and a metallic or coloured foil is branded on to the material. Foiled logos are incorporated into many corporate identities, used especially on corporate invitations, business cards, letter headings and compliment slips.

Foiling & Embossing

Foiling and embossing can be used on the same image, firstly foiled and then embossed. Again logos are incorporated into many corporate identities, used especially on corporate invitations, business cards, letter headings and compliment slips.

A highly cost effective way to add metallic colour to all or part of printed products.

Fully compatible with laser printers.

Ideal for Invitations, business cards, letter headings and compliment slips ect.

We can print to order on any thickness of material.

Ideal for use in conjunction with thermography, embossing and lithography.

Zine Packaging Research

I want the Zine I make to have some sort of packaging to go with it, be it a belly band of a complete cover made, I like these examples of different packageing, and will look to these for inspiration when attempting to create my own.
