Application of printing type:
HOT FOIL:

FLEXOGRAPHIC:
Used for large print images and for high volume prints on paper products. This process is used for printing our paper bags, gift wrap, tissue paper and carry bags. Unlimited colours and print coverage on white paper. When printing over coloured bags, dark colours are most suitable due to the translucent nature of the ink.
