Gold Foil Printing Alternative

It is an open secret that foil stamping adds pizzazz to your product packaging and makes your brand stand out. But foil stamping is expensive.  The good news is that there is another way to add classy foil to your brand materials and be friendly to your budget, too!

How? With today’s advanced digital printing technology, it’s easy. It is called sleeking.

This foil printing alternative offers a variety of color options. Gold, Silver, and would you believe it... Red, Green, Blue, Rainbow, Holographic and more!

What is Sleeking and How Does it Work?   

Sleeking is actually a finishing technique. It integrates a special film or foil to the surface of the material that is being digitally printed. It is similar to a lamination process. Sleeking bonds to the digitally printed materials through thermal heat and pressure that applies the foil to the surface. No dies are required.

Sleeking is a Three-Step Process

1. Determine the area that is going to be foiled. With digital printing, there are a variety of cpinwheel-example-foilhoices available to you. You can create a certain eye-catching pattern that you want, special image features, variable data such as personalization, or the entire surface.

2. The material is run through the Sleeking press and the foil is applied. There are many finishing options to choose from, including gold, silver, and other metallics. Other options include clear, matte, black, white, custom pantones, and holographic effects.

3. The foiled material is then run through the press for the finished product.

Sleeking is ideal for short-run custom packaging, display boxes, and more. It is used for many industries including B2B marketing materials, cosmetics, food and beverage, retail, restaurants, and more!
