Not sure which cold foil to test?

Send your substrate, target shade, artwork coverage and press type. We will recommend a cold foil roll for adhesion, release, overprintability and shelf-impact testing.

Selection guide

How to Choose the Right Cold Foil Roll

Cold foil selection comes down to four decisions: what the packaging is for, what it prints on, how it prints, and what a physical sample tells you before you commit to a production run.

Choose by application

Wine labels often need Champagne, Pale Gold or Silver for a refined shelf presence. Cosmetics packaging usually calls for Bright Gold, Rose Gold, Holographic or Iridescent Pearl. Pharma packaging may need Silver or Holographic for security effects and clean overprint. Confectionery and FMCG lean on Bright Gold, Copper and Matte Black. See cosmetics, wine & spirits and pharmaceuticals.

Choose by substrate

Coated paper and carton board accept nearly every foil in the range. Wine label paper needs a softer finish and adjusted adhesive coat weight. BOPP labels require substrate and adhesive compatibility checks — review the BOPP labels guide and the UV cold foil adhesive selector before you spec. Running a narrow web line? See flexo cold foil stamping materials; for sheetfed board work see offset cold foil stamping.

Choose by printing process

UV flexo and narrow-web label presses handle Silver, Bright Gold, Rose Gold and Matte Black at speed. Sheetfed offset and folding carton lines run the full ten-foil range. Carton board and folding cartons may need sheetfed offset compatibility review — talk to prepress about plate durometer, adhesive coat weight and UV lamp calibration.

Choose by sample testing result

Never spec cold foil without a physical sample on your actual stock. Use the quote checklist to capture substrate, coverage, press type and target shade, then order a sample roll or a cold foil sample kit to validate adhesion, release, overprintability and shelf appearance.
