Hot foil stamping

As a hot foil specialist, we can enhance your packaging and PoS promotional materials with special-effect stamping. This finishing technique uses metallic, glossy or matte foils to create exclusive accents that specifically highlight logos, lettering and design elements. Hot foil stamping combines a distinctive visual effect with a high-quality tactile finish. It is therefore often used for premium products.

Blind embossing

With blind embossing, we create tactile effects without any additional ink or foil. Raised and recessed areas in the material surface create structures that give packaging and printed products a premium appearance. Especially when combined with other finishing processes, brand logos, patterns or design elements can be highlighted in a subtle yet effective way.

Print finishing with UV coating, soft-touch coating and other effect coatings

H.O.Persiehl and Kolbe-Coloco use effect coatings specifically to give packaging additional visual and tactile properties. Depending on the application, UV gloss coatings, matte coatings, soft-touch coatings, scented coatings, glitter coatings or relief coatings may be used. This creates surfaces with distinctive gloss, pleasant tactile qualities, textured effects or sensory features that make products stand out at the point of sale and bring brand images to life.

Lenticular

Using lenticular technology, we create printed products with motion, depth or image-changing effects. Depending on the design, this can produce three-dimensional representations, animations or image changes that attract attention even as people pass by. This special form of print finishing is particularly suitable for distinctive PoS promotional materials and packaging.
