Special foil technology
We move into new fields
The possibilities of foil are unlimited. Foils are not only used for decoration, but by giving them special functions, they can also be used in a wide range of everyday life.
Electromagnetic wave transmission foil
Gold, silver, copper, chrome, nickel, titanium, and nickel-chromium alloy etc. have been used for conventional vacuum metalizing stamping foils, but these products cause breakdown very easily when a high voltage potential is made because they have good electrical conductivity and quite low breakdown voltage.
Our electromagnetic wave transmission foil do not have defects such as electric discharge, heat shrinkage, burning even against a high frequency irradiation, because they have high electromagnetic wave permeability against 300MHz - 300GHz microwave. Furthermore, they are not miss-detected by high sensitivity metal detectors to find out mixture of foreign metal.
A special metal is vacuum metalized with our advanced technology, and the product has almost the same metallic luster as conventional metalized hot stamping foils. This product can meet a variety of requirements including food label paper, wrapping paper, clothing label paper, and other applications such as insert injection processing.
＜ Features ＞
- High metallic gloss
- Insulating property
- No detection even by high sensitivity metal detectors
- No electromagnetic induction, usable in microwave ovens
Overprintable foils
A feature of overprintable foil is that gravure, offset, silk, and flexographic printing can be performed on the stamped foil surface, allowing for a broader range of designs compared to conventional foils. (the recommended ink is Toyo Ink's FD series).
＜ Features ＞
- It is possible to provide functions such as heat, light, or abrasion resistances because a transparent medium is coated on the transferred foil surface.
- Improved work efficiency in the printing process
- Color variations include gold, silver, matte, colors, and custom made colors
UV reactive color developed Holographic foil for security
Type: SE86LS (SECURITY)
Substrate: Paper (plastic etc.)
Stamping method: UP / DOWN, Roll on
Color: Silver, Carrier film (12, 16, 19, and 25 microns)
＜ Features ＞
- Hot stamped text or patterns appear as laser holographic under sunlight or fluorescent lamps, but emit pale when exposed to UV light (a black light). Therefore, it can be used for security related purposes, also for decorative items, etc.
- Two color security effect: holographic and developed color under UV
- Can be stamped to a variety of substrates such as paper, plastic, etc.
