You know those metallic elements that you can find on numerous unique spirit box? This is hot foil, one of the noblest processes that can be chosen.
The hot foil is perfect for printing logos, titles and other elements of our unique spirit box.
However, the hot foil can present complications during the execution phase. Since it is a metallized support that is transferred through hot stamping throught a metal cliché (generally magnesium or brass), it can be complicated to manage especially during the design phase. It is always worth asking for technical advice. For this reason you can write to us for free and send us your file indicating where you would like to print the hot foil and we will be happy to advise you how to make it perfect!
The choice of hot foil color is made based on existing foils that can be found in the foil suppliers' samples, such as the Luxor Alufin sample book from Kurz. From gold to silver, from copper to red foil, care must be taken to choose a color that is suitable for your unique spirit box and matches the other printed elements. You can choose both glossy and opaque foils, remembering however that the glossy foil reflects much more light than the opaque one. Personally, I do not recommend using it on elements such as texts, because depending on how the light falls, they could become unreadable.
Not sure which foil to choose? If you are interested we can print a mockup of a single spirit box, at very advantageous prices and without the cost of the punch. This way you will be able to see the simulated foil on your wine box and avoid printing hundreds of spirit boxes before you have made a final choice!
