Foils are a fantastic option for adding decorative elements to different products. That is especially true if you choose foil from leading manufacturers like KURZ. Critically, you can create wonderful eye catching products efficiently while only using a tiny amount of material. In addition, you can make positive moves to create a circular economy. We want to have a closer look here to show why hot foil stamping and cold transfer foil are so good. Then, if you want to arrange foiling services, you can trust us.
Material use is important
Consumers want businesses to be eco-conscious today. In fact, many will change their buying behaviours and favour brands that focus on recyclability. So, if you want to be successful, it is important to think about what you are using for packaging and the products themselves. It’s also essential to think about waste and keep material consumption to a minimum.
Hot foil stamping and cold transfer foil are both ideal if you want to use materials as effectively as possible. Producers like KURZ only need to use a small amount of aluminium to make the foils. They are incredibly thin, a tiny fraction of the width of a human hair. So, it is incredibly efficient in terms of resource usage.
To further highlight how effective foiling services are in terms of material use, consider how much you can do with the same amount as other products. Many people have a coffee machine at home now that uses aluminium pods. You wouldn’t think there is much metal in a single pod right? Well, the material in a typical one can be enough to add decorations to over 1,000 boxes (depending on the size of the artwork).
Circular economy
The fact the aluminium foil is so thin directly supports recycling efforts and a circular economy. Most practices involve washing and shredding material. That is certainly the case with paper, cardboard, certain plastics, and many metals. The idea is to get rid of contaminants that would have an impact on the material quality.
Thin stamping and transfer foils are ideal for recycling because they tend to dissipate during the process. Numerous tests prove this. As a result, they won’t damage equipment or have an impact on the recycled material.
