FRIP’s UK sites have the fastest and most technically advanced equipment available to any dedicated foiling and embossing operation in the UK. Combined with our range of equipment each site is staffed to meet the most demanding of delivery requirements and adopts the 24/7 approach necessary to be successful in the print finishing sector.

We offer a full range of techniques including:

Flat stamping – where a layer of foil is applied to the surface of a substrate. Foils are available in a variety of Golds ,Silvers, Metallic Colours, Pigments and Pearls, reflective and holographic patterns.

Blind embossing - where paper is raised with your design to give added relief or extra contrast against your chosen stock. Embossing can be Single Level, Multi-Level or Micro embossed to create added perspectives. Alternatively de-bossing is the reverse of the process.

Foil embossing is the combination of flat foiling and blind embossing, processed using a combination die in a single machine pass. The depth and detail of the embossing is dependent on the detail required and the nature of the surface and stock being used.

Texturing and micro embossing – uses embossing techniques combined with finely etched dies to give a background pattern to an image in either foil or as an embossing.

Photo etch uses similar techniques to texturing and micro embossing - with photo etch a bespoke image is placed into the background.

Holography - We are able to undertake registered image hologram application up to B1 and 6 webs as well as having a range of smaller equipment suitable for individual hologram application. We are also able to offer simulated holographic foil application where bespoke holography is not a cost effective option.

All of our embossing work is undertaken using platen and auto-platen based equipment to provide superior embossing quality and depth.

Contact us for advice on foils and techniques in order to create the maximum effect for your client.
We are pleased to supply technique samples on request.
