API Foils has developed a versatile, general-purpose matt pigment hot stamping foil.

It offers both fine detail and broad area coverage across a wider range of applications than any other pigment foil previously available from API.

A better opacity means customers will achieve a sharper colour and better overall finish and a wider operating temperature window increases productivity by improving process times.

In addition, by providing a well-defined colour range in just a single grade, it is simpler for customers to choose their preferred product as PG will cover the vast majority of applications.

Andy Kerr, international technical support, said:  “This new range has been developed to make product selection far easier for our customers. We have developed just one grade for most general-purpose applications, which is available in 12 well-defined colours.

“The versatility of PG across so many applications together with its improved technical capability, means the customer can concentrate on the effect they want to achieve rather than get involved in technical considerations.  Having such a grade also means that deliveries will be quicker and simpler.”

Working in collaboration with Newfoil, based in Bolton, API is launching the PG grade to platen press stamping label manufacturers in the UK. Commenting on PG after initial customer trials, Steve Tonge of Dotaprint Labels said:  “This foil makes label printing so much easier, one foil that suits all substrates and even works when printing foil on foil.”
