Hot Foil Stamping
Applying metallic or pigment foil to paper and card using heated dies, we create vibrant, dimensional designs that make printed materials stand out. Our capabilities range from SRA3 to 1060x760mm sheets, offering extensive material compatibility beyond traditional ink printing. This specialist technique enhances product packaging, marketing materials, and commercial print work with premium finishes.
Thermal Lamination
Providing durable protection with food-safe thermal lamination in gloss, matt, soft touch, and anti-scuff finishes. Our B1 sheet capacity ensures compatibility with commercial packaging requirements while maintaining material integrity. This process enhances product longevity and visual appeal for both retail and industrial applications across Northern Ireland.
Spot UV Varnishing
Applying high-gloss UV varnish through screen printing to highlight specific design elements, we create striking visual contrastsparticularly effective over matt laminates. This specialist technique enhances commercial print work and packaging by drawing attention to key branding elements and design features.
Die Cutting
Precision cutting of paper and card into bespoke shapes using custom dies, from SRA4 to B1 sheet sizes. Our flatbed and cylinder presses enable production of intricate packaging components, corporate folders, and promotional materials requiring non-standard formats for commercial and retail applications.
Embossing
Creating three-dimensional designs through custom die pressing, we produce tactile branding elements that elevate logos, text, and graphics. This specialist technique adds premium value to business stationery, packaging, and marketing materials through its distinctive raised surface finish.
