Digital finishing: Digital foil

Digital film is visually and haptically comparable with conventional hot foil stamping. It can be applied flat or raised. For maximum creativity: film on film is just as possible as lacquer on film.

Explained step by step

The polymer is partially applied to the areas that are to be finished with digital film.
The UV lamp cures the polymer in a dimensionally stable manner, but not completely (pinning).
The digital film is rolled evenly over the entire surface of the printed sheet.
The digital film is removed immediately and remains adhered to the polymerised areas.
The UV lamp cures the finish completely so that the sheet is immediately ready for further processing.

Flat or raised

The level of finishing can be precisely controlled - simply the thickness of the polymer applied under the film. Not only do you achieve a visual wow effect, but also a haptic quality that inspires. Whether discreetly elegant or strikingly eye-catching: your design gets exactly the presence it deserves.

When applied flat, our digital film looks like a Classic hot foil stamping - elegant, sophisticated and timeless. It can be applied partially to set specific accents. Fine contours and filigree lettering can be realised without any problems, while the Precise placement is guaranteed by the digital scanning of each individual sheet. 

In the elevated version, the Relief film, our digital film unfolds the effect of a classic Hot foil stamping with embossing. Here, too, digital technology ensures Perfect register accuracy, so that every detail fits precisely and your design is impressively showcased.

Creative freedom without limits

Compared to traditional finishing techniques such as screen printing, offset printing or hot-foil stamping, digital finishing opens up a whole new world of possibilities. New creative freedom. While conventional processes are usually limited to individual effects, we think of refinement Multidimensional - layer by layer.

Digital applications can be combined

The individual finishes can be flexibly with each other: Lacquer on lacquer, foil on lacquer or lacquer on foil. These diverse options create unique visual and tactile effects with impressive depth and brilliance. Combine different textures, layer thicknesses and metallic elements - and give free rein to your creativity. Combinations with other finishing techniques such as screen printing or UV offset printing are also possible.

Further digital enhancements

Each of these digital applications offers a high quality and cost-efficient alternative to traditional techniques. The variety of digital finishing applications and their combinations enables us to create multiple effects on a single machine and thus create individual, impressive packaging.
