The following steps are involved in the through carrier dieless process:

A free radical UV adhesive is web printed onto the substrate using conventional printing equipment, in exactly the same way as an ink or varnish would
Foil is nipped on at a laminator immediately after the print unit
Foil is passed through the UV lamp in contact with the adhesive
The waste carrier is removed leaving the foiled image

Stamping substrates

• Self adhesive labels on semi-gloss and gloss papers and filmic substrates
  Advertising materiel
  Web printed cartons
  Food packaging
  Cosmetics
  Label , self- adhesive labels
  Non-food packaging
  Magazines
  PFX grade is suitable for all the above substrates but the amount of adhesive printed needs to be controlled to compensate for the porosity and roughness of the substrate and to suit the level of detail being printed.? Best results are normally achieved if papers are primed with a varnish or ink underneath the foil.
  

Prosperities overview

PFX grade has free release to allow high speed use
PFX grade has controlled metal thickness in order to allow passage of enough UV light through the foil to cure the adhesive.? PFX grade is less opaque than standard hot stamping foils.
In conjunction with suitable adhesives PFX gives similar or superior resistance properties to hot stamping foils.
