Foil Labels

Metallic Printed Labels on a Roll

Foil labels are the ideal option for quickly adding a touch of sophistication to your client’s high-end products. With a stunning metallic shine, these labels bring an immediate sense of luxury to any product or packaging design.

Why Choose Foil Labels?

The metallic gloss of foil labels adds a premium look, perfect for making your products stand out on the shelves. Ideal for the festive season and corporate gifting, foil labels elevate the appearance of your products for any special occasion. To make colours pop against the metallic background, add a white print underpin. This ensures your design remains vibrant and eye-catching.

Choose from straight cut or custom cut to match any design requirements. Sizes range from 10mm x 10mm to 300mm x 300mm, providing flexibility for all your labeling needs.

Artwork Specifications for Foil Stickers

Once you have placed your order you can upload your print ready artwork. When supplying artwork for Labels on a Roll, please supply 1 multi layered PDF, which contains the following:

• If you are ordering a circle, square or rectangle shaped label, no cutting shape or layer is required. We will apply this for you automatically.

• If you are ordering a custom shape, please supply a vector cutting guide with a thickness of 0.25pt set as a spot colour named “KissCutting” and set at 100% magenta. This should be setup as an overprint stroke on a layer named “KissCutting”

• If you are ordering a solid fill white underpin, no underpinning is necessary within the artwork document as we will add this for you to the whole of the design automatically.

• If you require a selective white underpin (on transparent / metallic / black pulp-dyed / gold paper materials) please ensure you have a spot colour named “White” (case sensitive) and set at 100% Cyan. Please make sure that this is set to overprint and is a vector not a bitmap image on a layer named “White”.

• For labels with foil or selective raised gloss finishes, please supply your artwork as a 2 page PDF, page 1 being the print artwork along with any “KissCutting” or “White” layers that are required, with page 2 being the foil/ selective gloss artwork.

• Foil and selective gloss artwork must be supplied as vector shapes, set to 100 % K only with any overlapping white elements knocked out of the black foiling vectors. Our minimum foiling line weight is 1pt (0.34mm), minimum font size is 10pt (3.4mm) and the minimum gap between foiled or raised gloss elements is 1pt (0.34mm)

Material Specifications for Foil Stickers

Foil Sticker Printing

Pro Tip: There is a 2mm margin of error for movement on all circular stickers. This means that even if your design is perfectly centred when you submit it, there is a chance that it may shift slightly during printing. We, therefore, don't recommend the use of borders and line borders. Sticker Set-Up Recommendations
