Latest News and Projects

In the modern business landscape, sustainability is no longer a buzzword—it's a necessity. Companies across all industries are actively seeking ways to reduce their environmental footprint, and the packaging sector is at the forefront of this green revolution.

Label-form, a leading provider of adhesive labels and stickers, are proud to be a member of the Prismm Zero Foil 2 Landfill and Zero to Landfill Labels Group Scheme. This initiative is crucial for companies like ours who are committed to sustainable packaging solutions, particularly in the realm of hot-foil labels and stickers.

In this article, we will look at what is Hot-foil label printing and the benefits of the Prismm Zero Foil 2 Landfill Group Scheme, and how being a part of this program underscores Label-form's dedication to sustainability in hot-foil printing and beyond.

What is hot-foil stamping

Hot foil printing (also known as foil stamping) can be used as a standalone process or to enhance labels printed by another process such as screen, letterpress, digital etc.

Metallic Foil has a metal-like sheen, giving a shiny and shimmering look to the foil-stamped design. This foil is available in different metallic shades such as gold, silver, bronze and copper to name just a few.

Pigment Foils are available in gloss or matt finish.

Holographic Foil use hologram and prismatic foils to create a three-dimensional image. These enhance specific areas of printed labels through their distinctive appearance.

The Benefits of Being a Prismm Zero Foil 2 Landfill Member

The problem - with many printing companies is that their Foil and Label waste is going directly to landfill even when it can be recycled or recovered.

The  solution -  At Label-form we are members of the Prismm Zero Foil 2 Landfill Group Scheme. The foils we use are certified as Zero Foil 2 Landfill compliant. A scheme backed by the British Printing Industry Federation (BPIF).

We are making every effort to ensure that there is very little waste in the production and use of our foil printed labels.
