3D Metallic Foil on the Cover

[Back]

3D Metallic Foil is a modern cover refinement technique that creates a three-dimensional effect. The foil is applied onto raised Spot UV Varnish, which after UV curing becomes an ideal substrate for the foil. Additional corona treatment improves adhesion and increases durability.

3D Metallic Foil — a three-dimensional effect on the cover

3D Metallic Foil creates light gradation effects, giving selected graphic elements on the cover greater depth, expressiveness and tactile quality. This solution works perfectly with graphic designs, creating visually engaging and aesthetically refined projects.

Available 3D Metallic Foil colours

At Books Factory, Metallic Foil refinement is available in six colours:


  • gold — luxurious character,
  • silver — modern aesthetics,
  • red — intense and energetic,
  • copper — original and elegant,
  • blue — subtle and cool,
  • green — eye-catching and balanced.

More than one colour can be used within a single publication to achieve a unique multidimensional effect.

How to prepare a project with 3D Metallic Foil

Follow these steps to correctly prepare your files:


  • prepare a separate mask for each foil colour, marking foil placement areas in black (K),
  • save files in PDF format, e.g. Book_Title_mask_3D_blue.pdf,
  • ensure masks are correctly aligned with the graphic design.

The Books Factory team delivers 3D Metallic Foil refinements with the highest level of precision, creating effects that help your publication stand out from the competition.
