Flexo cold foil foil greatly expands the range of design potential. Using this technique can create high-gloss metal patterns, but it is impossible to use other methods. Exquisite lines, openwork patterns decorated with filigree—even in large transfer areas—the smallest details and even halftone patterns are feasible. The aluminum foil can also be used on a large area or the entire surface without restriction.

Many other design potentials come from the effortless cold foil overprinting with four-color printing. In this way, color and metallic luster can be combined very outstandingly, and most of the effects can be achieved. This is because not only the color but also the cold foil itself can be screened. Choosing opaque or transparent colors combined with colors with different screen lines and cold foils, various metallic effects and gloss are all possible.
