Let It Shine

New foils and holographic substrates

API Foils (Lenexa, Kan.) has released its cold foiling process, called API dieLESS® Thru-Carrier technology. Jennifer Hoyt, marketing manager for API Foils, says that this technology will allow flexographic printers of labels, flexible packaging, or folding cartons to apply foil in-line with minimal capital investment. It involves the application of a specially-formulated adhesive onto a substrate to allow the application of foil without the need for traditional stamping dies.
