We are also happy to print the metallized materials for you, right through to final production and dispatch.
In addition to visual enhancement, metallization also plays a major role in counterfeit protection, as colour copiers and conventional printing machines cannot reproduce the real metal.

In addition to visual enhancement, metallization also plays a major role in counterfeit protection, as colour copiers and conventional printing machines cannot reproduce the real metal.
The combination of metallization and microscopically fine embossing on self-adhesive paper is particularly attractive. The result is visually high-quality stickers that also offer good protection against counterfeiting.

Lettering on metal plates
In the field of lettering, you can also have aluminum composite panels, also known as aluminum dibond, printed by us. These are particularly rigid and impact-resistant. They also withstand high wind pressure well and are therefore used in particular for durable lettering, such as construction site signs. Their core is made of plastic, the outer layers of thin aluminum. In contrast to continuous metal panels, they are therefore cheaper and lighter.
Our tip, regardless of whether metal or aluminum composite is used throughout: Instead of printing directly, use a sticker with printed film. Thanks to the high-quality film and protective laminate, this can also be particularly durable, but can be easily changed or replaced if necessary. The underlying carrier plate then remains in use. This protects both your wallet and the environment.
