Metallic Effects
Labels with metallic accents offer elegance and visual appeal. Whether through metallic stocks, inks, or foil stamping, these effects produce a rich shimmer that captures light and draws attention.
Metallic Effect Options
From metallic label stocks to foil stamping and holographic films, we offer a range of techniques to match your budget, material, and design goals.
Metallic Techniques We Offer
Four ways to add metallic impact to your label—each with different material requirements, cost profiles, and visual results.
Silver BOPP Labels
Silver BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) is a popular base material for roll-label printing with a built-in metallic sheen. Water-resistant and highly durable, it's a strong choice for food & beverage, cannabis, cosmetics, and health & beauty labels that need a premium metallic look without foil stamping costs.
PET Holographic Film
Rainbow PET holographic film creates a shifting, dynamic display of colors and patterns when light reflects off its surface. The constantly changing visual effect makes labels stand out and draws immediate attention on shelf. Available in standard rainbow and specialty holographic patterns.
Cold Foil Stamping
Thin metallic foil is applied to the label surface using a UV-curable adhesive rather than heat or metal dies. Digital cold foil requires zero tooling and is best for large text or design elements; flexographic cold foil uses plates for finer detail and higher consistency. Both can be combined with CMYK printing for vibrant, colorful metallic effects.
Hot Foil Stamping
A custom metal die applies metallic or pigmented foil using heat and pressure. Hot foil produces a slightly raised, highly polished finish with excellent edge integrity on even the finest design details. Unlike cold foil, hot foil can be applied to rough or textured materials like estate and kraft papers—making it the preferred choice for wine, spirits, and luxury labels.
