Overview
Foilmakers' TU grade foil is a cold foil designed for use in combination with offset adhesives and inks for applications such as commercial print, promotional products and luxury packaging. The TU grade is a free releasing foil with good adhesion onto offset cold foil adhesives, both UV curing and conventional drying. It has a very receptive surface facilitating in-line or off-line over-printing with UV curing and conventional drying offset inks, so providing the opportunity to create a wide spectrum of eye-catching, multi-coloured metallic effects. Good fine detail, solid area coverage and high brilliance or gloss.
