Foil Stamping

FoilKote

Foil stamping and embossing have always gone hand in hand with laminating and coating. All these processes are a form of embillishment and are very complementary. Foil is particularly prominent in the area of book covers. A combination of MatteKote, SpotKote, FoilKote and embossing is much sort after on the covers of today’s paperbacks. So, whether it’s just gold or coloured foils or embossing or combinations of all the above, your printed job will greatly benefit from the Allkotes touch.

Embossing

The more traditional way of raising a printed design or typeface on book covers and display cartons. Comes in various forms and heights so it’s always advisable to speak to your Allkotes representative to discuss your requirements. More often used with other Allkotes processes, particularly film lamination and foil stamping as on paperback book covers.

Holographics

Endless number of exciting designs with both a metallised or clear finish for packaging, book and magazine covers or any other printed promotional material. Also used in the foil stamping process for reasons of increased security where counterfeiting is prevalent. Special or individual designs are available but these are subject to lead times depending upon your requirements. For example, a personalised logo design will involve a capital cost for the manufacture of the template.
