Excite brands with effects far beyond traditional colour
Make digital decoration work harder for you
Digital metal decoration opens up new possibilities for brands whether versioning, personalisation, shorter runs or premium effects are required.
Metal packaging beyond CMYK with white, orange, violet, digital varnish and embellishment.
Create standout finishes, tactile effects and premium visual differentiation without adding complexity to your workflow.
Differentiate. Embellish. Create something impossible to ignore.
Flexibility where it matters
Metal decoration isn’t simply about getting ink onto the surface. The printed film needs to perform through the post processing.
Our flexible ink ranges are engineered to support the demands of metal forming and drawing, helping maintain adhesion, flexibility and print integrity throughout production.
From direct to object to flat sheet and coil-coated applications, we can help identify the formulation best suited to your substrate, process and finishing requirements.
