The Main section gathers our pillar guide to cold foil, the comparison pages that contrast cold and hot foil, and the dedicated landing pages for the most-requested applications: foil business cards, custom foil labels and the effects hub. These pages explain what cold foil is, when it is the right specification, and which CFS product family addresses each common end-use. Start here if you are new to the technology.

The Technology page is the canonical reference for the cold transfer process itself — inline cold foil module architecture, UV adhesive chemistry, anilox calibration, web tension management and the trade-offs against hot foil and metallised board. It is written for press engineers and brand-side technical leads.

Company pages explain who we are, how we operate sustainably and what we are hiring for. Sustainability is the home of our PAS 2060 carbon-neutral statement, the third-party verified life-cycle assessment and the certifications evidence pack.

Support gathers the resources converters actually use during a project: the contact form (routed to a packaging engineer, not a generic inbox), the converter-portal documentation library, the tech-notes archive and the cold foil statistics page used in many of our customer presentations.

Legal contains the privacy policy, terms of use and this sitemap, plus the machine-readable sitemap.xml referenced by search engines.

Every blog post is written or reviewed by an applications engineer with field experience on the topic. The catalogue covers process explainers (how cold foil stamping works step by step, anilox roller selection, pinholing diagnosis), buyer guides (cold foil stamping supplies, holographic foil specification, cold foil machine cost), substrate deep-dives (uncoated paper, flexible films, folding cartons) and the comparison pieces that contrast cold foil with hot foil, transfer metallizing and metallised board.

Updated articles carry the last-reviewed date in the article header. If a post is older than 12 months and not marked reviewed, treat the operating windows as indicative and cross-check the corresponding tech note for the current revision.

Products lists every cold foil SKU we currently produce, with a side-by-side comparison view. Each product detail page contains the full datasheet, the technical-FAQ block generated from the underlying spec data, and the long-form working-with notes that capture our applications-engineering experience on that particular foil.

Applications maps the foils to end-use categories — cosmetics, wine and spirits, FMCG and pharma, folding cartons, labels, tobacco and vape, confectionery, stationery. Each detail page describes the typical specification stack used in that vertical, the trade-offs against alternative decoration methods and the relevant compliance references.
