At Foilmakers, we are proud of our rich history. The company’s original know-how comes from two sources, one source being Maple Roll Leaf, set up in Australia and then subsequently bought by ITW, except for the Australian operations.  The other source being Markem/Astor Universal which was bought by API, also except for the Australian operations.

Both Australian operations from Maple Roll Leaf and API were bought by Milford Astor in the 1980's and 1990's. This put Milford Astor in a unique position as it was able to capitalise on both sets of chemistries. Since then, there have been further developments to make products more flexible, compliant with new laws, and more environmentally friendly.

The company's strengths are in pigment foils for both plastics and graphics applications. It also produces a range of specialty foils and metallics foils for graphics applications. 

Foilmakers' manufacturing plant in Melbourne, Australia is a small plant, with flexibility to accept orders for relatively short runs of unique colour matches. Our vast portfolio of products, both past and present, our in-house slitting facilities and our colour matching services, will ensure that we can support you in your seach for that hard-to-find, made-to-order product.
