Protecting The Appearance Of Your Device Or Product

Protective films and coatings are most well known for being applied on vehicles, but they are regularly used in a diverse range of sectors beyond the automotive industry. Our foiling and lamination services are used to bring the benefits of protective film application to huge numbers of products on a regular basis.

Repairing damage to the paint on the body of a car is notoriously difficult, with even the most gifted restorers struggling to find a colour that’s an exact match. This is what makes a protective film on a car so beneficial, as it defends the vehicle from scratches and lessens the need for complex repairs and restorations. These same scratch resistant qualities can be advantageous on many other types of products. The film layer is thin and unobtrusive on the overall design of an item, and time and again it has proved to be highly valuable in preserving the desired look.

The most common non-vehicle sector we provide protective films to is the electronics field, particularly for mobile devices such as phones and tablet computers. The protective layer does not noticeably add to the weight or size of the device or interfere with its functioning. This means that the casing and the screen of a mobile electronic device can have a reliable level of protection against scratches on its screen or casing.

Mobile electronic devices are just one of several types of product which we have applied our films to. Throughout the years we have applied outstanding protective film coatings to many products and helped guard them against scratches or markings. If you are looking for the perfect way to protect your product or device, contact us to learn more about our versatile lamination services and we are confident we can provide the perfect solution to meet your needs.

The Highest Quality Foil For Hot Stamping

Metallic foils can be seen on a wide range of products, from packaging for makeup, fragrances and chocolate, to business cards and letterheads. They add a highly decorative touch that can make the product really stand out and appeal to consumers.

Foils are added to products using either hot or cold stamping. The first is highly regarded because it allows high definition foil to be added to a wide array of different substrate materials. Colder processes have improved a great deal and can provide good results too, but when detail is particularly important hot foil is still the preferred process.

One of the most crucial aspects of getting a quality finished product is ensuring you use the right materials. Leonhard Kurz is a global leader in hot stamping and coatings. Their products are highly regarded and are favoured by a wide array of manufacturers. They operate from 11 production facilities and have a huge network of subsidiaries, agencies and sales offices. This gives them the ability to serve clients all around the world.

Kurz offers two market leading foils; Luxor and Alufin. The first is an aluminium foil available in a range of grades and colours. The latter is also aluminium and comes in a range of grades but is only available in silver. Both products are well regarded because decades of research and development have gone into them. This is reflected in the properties and the qualities they offer.

At Foiling Services we strive to offer the very best hot foil services we can to our clients. To achieve this we only use the very best materials available. This led us to Kurz and we have been proudly using their products for a number of years.

We are accomplished at luxor foiling and can provide a service to suit the needs of all clients. We have the skills to add decorative foil to a wide number of products and will work very hard to ensure each one is finished to the very highest standard.
