Cold stamping foil quote checklist — what to send in a first enquiry
Quick answer
You do not need a complete technical specification to start a conversation. Describe the foil effect, label job and approximate quantity you have in mind. Any remaining material, roll-format and delivery details can be clarified by email before a quotation is agreed.
CFS supplies cold transfer foil rolls for flexographic label production. A short first message is enough for us to understand the job.
The foil effect or material direction you need, and the flexo label project it is for.
The approximate quantity you need and the region where the rolls would be delivered. If you are not sure yet, leave the number out instead of guessing.
If you know them: your press model, the label material, or a current sample for reference.
Cold transfer foil works together with the label material, adhesive, ink and curing equipment on your press, which is why the foil is normally confirmed against the whole system rather than on its own. Roll format, the material combination you plan to run, sample arrangements and delivery details are confirmed by email before a quotation is agreed.
Material grade, roll specifications, sample terms and pricing are not published as a general table. They are discussed for each project.
Should I send artwork or press data?
Only if you have them. Artwork, press photographs or a reference label help us understand the job, but none of them is required to start. Add the detail you already know and we will ask for anything else we need.

Frequently asked questions
What information do I need to get a cold stamping foil quote?
Start with the foil effect you need, the flexo label job it is for and the approximate quantity. Add your press model and label material if you know them. Remaining details are clarified by email before a quotation is agreed.
Do I need a full technical specification before contacting CFS?
No. You do not need a complete technical specification to start a conversation. Describe the job and we will confirm what else is needed.
Can I enquire if I do not know the quantity yet?
Yes. Describe the project and leave the quantity out if you are unsure; it can be discussed by email.
Does the foil need to match my adhesive and label material?
Yes, cold foil is normally confirmed as part of a system with the label material, adhesive and curing equipment. Suppliers such as KURZ describe the same approach, so share what you already know and we can discuss the combination by email.
