Real metal effects
Precious metal on printed matter brings you advantages
Precious metals have fascinated people since the dawn of civilization. Gold and silver have a very positive connotation in our subconscious and in social perception. They form bridges to strong concepts in the human brain. Printed gold stands for prosperity, lasting value, prestige, luxury, profit, jubilee as well as the gold medal of the winner. With silver, there is also a hint of high-tech. If you have real metal effects printed, you will receive these positive attributions for your product and your brand.
In addition, real metallic effects are naturally a great eye-catcher that invites people to engage with your print product.
In the packaging sector , printed real metal effects on folding boxes serve as a psychological incentive to buy, which can trigger a buying impulse through print finishing.
In addition to the visual enhancement, genuine metallic printing also plays a major role in counterfeit protection, for example on vouchers or certificates. Color copiers and conventional printing machines cannot reproduce the real metal. You can find more information on the application in security printing here Security printing

Print types with metal coating
We metallize both the entire surface and partial areas, such as texts or logos.
In addition, we metallize either flat, in three-dimensional relief, or with microscopically fine structures incorporated into the metallization, allowing us to create patterns, texts, logos or even images.
We use real metal in wafer-thin form to metallize paper, cardboard, plastics and self-adhesive films.
For example, we conjure up a genuine metallic look on magazine covers, book covers, image brochures, vouchers, business cards, packaging, folders, tags and stickers.
