Custom Foil Label Printing That Makes Your Products Stand Out

Foil labels, (also known as foil stickers), a great way to add a premium finish to your packaging. They use a metallic finish to make important parts of your design stand out, such as logos, text and decorative details.

Our foil printing, more specifically our hot foil label printing process uses heat and pressure to apply a thin metallic foil layer onto your labels. This creates a bright, reflective finish that catches the light and gives your packaging a high-quality look.

From gold foil stickers to silver finishes and coloured foils, at Acorn Print we can help you create labels that grab attention and make your products look more premium quality.

Foiled labels are ideal for brands that are looking to add extra impact to their packaging, improve their brand appearance and create a memorable impression of their products.

Hot Foil Label Printing

Simply said, hot foil label printing is a process that uses heat and pressure to apply a metallic foil layer onto your labels. The foil bonds to the surface of the label, creating a bright finish that catches the light and makes your brand design stand out.

Unlike metallic ink, which gives a printed shimmer effect to a sticker, hot foil uses a real metallic layer to create a stronger and more reflective finish. This makes it a popular choice for highlighting logos, text and small design details.

Our hot foil labels are available in a range of colours, including gold, silver, rose gold and holographic finishes. Our foiled stickers are a great option for brands that want to add a premium touch to their packaging while keeping their labels durable and eye-catching.
