Although traditionally known for high gloss metallics, matt finish foils are now equally as popular. But, if you are looking for something a bit more exciting there are a range of special effects which include holographic and textured finishes.
Transparent foils can also be effective and offer a great alternative to UV Varnish, they can have a gloss or matt finish and will not soak into uncoated paper in the same way.
Foiling is a great way of laying words and branding onto coloured papers. It can also be used on textured papers allowing some very creative finishes; however, it is worth considering that the smoother the surface of the paper the sharper the finish will be.
Foil embellished papers are fully recyclable, re-pulpable and biodegradable.
