Special procedures


Hot stamping
attaching a foil layer (on printed or unprinted material). The operation is performed at high temperatures (100 gr. - 160 gr. C) and by using a contact pressure between the support foil and the warmed-up plane. The folio machines may function by plane action or by rolling ( cylinder).

Scratch off
applying a layer of ink that can be scraped over a certain design element. UV varnishing or plasticizing the sheet is necessary in this case.

Applying a unique series
operation through which each product unit is applied a unique series.
