Dies
Colourfoil brings years of experience to every die we produce and we take pride in our reputation for high quality engraving.
Colourfoil can manufacture dies for hotfoil stamping. Dies are made to your individual specifications, from your artworks, in copper, magnesium, brass or silicone rubber.
Magnesium
Magnesium dies are primarily used for flat foil stamped images and flat single or multi-level embossed or debossed images. Magnesium is the softest material for metal dies and the least expensive of our range, ideal for shorter runs.
Copper
Copper dies are used for the same application as the magnesium dies but are more resilient, making them ideally suited to jobs with longer runs. They offer the best results for the reproduction of images over a larger print area. Copper is extremely durable with, with good etching characteristics.
Brass
Brass dies are cut using our state of the art CNC machines, instead of being etched using chemicals. These are ideal for printing onto soft materials such as leather or cloth.
Dies are hand finished by our skilled technicians.
We can accept artworks in various formats, as hard copy, acetate or electronically via email, see our artwork page for more details. Please contact our sales team to discuss your requirements and to find out how to transfer your artwork to us. An individual price will be given for each job based on the materials & complexity.
