How it behaves in production
- Hot foil stamping works on stainless steel and brass. A contrasting foil colour stands out against the metal surface.
- Screen printing holds crisp, opaque spot colours. Engraving creates a permanent mark in the surface.
- The metal itself supplies the sheen; brushed, satin and mirror surfaces reflect light differently.
