Finished labels decorated by hot foil stamping, with optional embossing.
Foil stamping on a finished label gives a brightness that printed metallic ink cannot reach, because it is real metal film rather than a suspension of flakes. Combined with embossing in the same pass, it produces the raised, high-shine effect used on premium packaging, certificates and anniversary editions.
