Foil Printing Application
What is Foil Printing?
Foil material is a PVC type printing material with an adhesive backing, which is mostly used in digital printing works today. Foil is highly preferred because it adheres to many surfaces without the need for any other material. It is used in many areas in daily life. Finally, foil printing technique has become applicable thanks to the material that is also within the scope of the advertising sector.
All of the "DISCOUNT - CAMPAIGN" style writings that are printed on foil with the digital printing method and that you usually see in the shop windows of the stores are all made using this technique. Foils have many color options, so the desired graphic work in many areas appears with satisfactory results. In addition, thanks to the tool known as Plotter, the desired drawings, pictures or writings can be used by cutting on the foils.
Foil Types, Usage Areas
Normal Foil
Normal foils are used for signboards and glass showcases, facades and orientation.
Cast Foil
Cast Foils are applied with hot air in places with many indentations and protrusions and especially in vehicle coatings, and when special lamination is applied on it, it lasts longer.
Transparent Foil
Digital printing on transparent foil is done as reverse printing and glued from the inside.
Indoor Foil Printing
The biggest factor to be considered in foil printing, which is very easy to contact with people due to the areas where it is used in indoor foil applications, is that it does not harm health. For this reason, it is extremely important that the printing is done using water-based paint. It has been medically proven that water-based paints do not cause any harm to human health.
Foil printing, which is placed indoors for decorative purposes or for promotional purposes, allows advertisements to be made entirely for the target audience. The most important factor to be considered is that water should not come into contact with the prepared writings. When there is water contact, there is a possibility that the writings may flow. This issue should be very careful.
Outdoor Foil Printing
The biggest feature sought in outdoor foil applications is durability. Since it will be in constant contact with natural conditions (rain, snow, wind, sun, etc.), it must be durable. This durability is achieved by using solvent-based paints. Another important feature is that it can be applied in large sizes.
Since it can be used for many years and can be supplied at low costs, it also reduces the cost of advertisers. It can be applied to any surface. In this way, even areas where it is not normally possible to apply an advertising banner or an application with advertising content can be coated.
