A detail that shines
Hot foil is a finish in which a thin metallic film (gold, silver or coloured) is transferred onto paper with heat and pressure. It is used to make logos, headlines and details stand out on covers, packaging and business cards.
In Cantù, in the province of Como, we recommend it to companies in Como, Brianza and Milan, especially in the fashion and design sectors.
Little, but well chosen
Foil works best when used sparingly, on an element you want people to remember. The graphic design must be planned from the start to accommodate it: that is why graphic design for print and the finish are conceived together.
The most common bindings are saddle stitching, perfect binding, thread sewing and spiral, to be chosen according to use and number of pages. In Cantù, in the province of Como, we discuss them with companies in Como, Brianza and Milan before setting up the file.
Lamination, die-cutting and embossing are finishes that protect the printed piece, give it a particular shape and add details you can feel. In Cantù, in the province of Como, we assess them case by case with companies in Como, Brianza and Milan.
For paper and finishes for fashion and design, feel, sobriety and consistency with the brand matter. In Brianza, between Cantù and Como, NewVisibility helps companies choose materials and details with partner printers, including those who work with Milan.
The catalogue format and the number of pages depend on how many products you present and how you will use it: first the sequence is built, then page count, format and binding are assessed. The Cantù team helps companies in Como, Brianza and Milan choose the most suitable solution.
The folds of a leaflet and the number of sides depend on the amount of content, the reading order and how it is delivered. There is no choice that suits everyone: in Cantù and in the province of Como we help companies decide together with our partner printers, starting from the content.
