Metallic Ink | Printed Metallic Effects
Metallic ink adds subtle shimmer and shine directly into printed designs, creating eye-catching effects that are more affordable than foil stamping.
Metallic Through Ink
Metallic inks contain fine metal particles that create shimmering, metallic appearances when printed. While not as brilliant as foil stamping, metallic inks offer cost-effective metallic effects for larger areas and complex designs.
Design Flexibility
Unlike foil stamping which requires dies, metallic inks print like standard inks, allowing complex designs, gradients, and large coverage areas at reasonable costs. Full metallic backgrounds become economically feasible.

What metallic colors are available?
Gold, silver, copper, bronze, and various metallic colors including blues, greens, and reds.
Does metallic ink require special printing?
Metallic inks require adjustments to ink coverage and may need dedicated printing units for best results.
