In 2019 Foilco committed to a recycling program of the waste collected among its customers, turning the waste into environmentally friendly products. But listen for yourself.

We were honoured to have founding member of art & design collective Tomato @GrahamWood777 agree to speak for us at Multiplicity #Bristol.
After, he provided us with an incredible photo he'd taken while on the move in a taxi in #NYC and asked if we could do anything with it...
Very welcome!
Great photo by the way!
Thanks @Foilco this is a great sampler for all things digital. Not just gold and silver with this lovely collection.
V is for... Varnish.
We've been working on the latest developments in #digital foiling. #innovation
This technique involves printing an ink or #varnish onto the sheet that the #foil bonds to when put through a heated roller.
Need a free shadebook?

White foil is very popular...
@EmmaMcN: "If you don’t select the right grade, it can look slightly grey on dark paper + the foil may not release cleanly. We have a range of grades in white foil. We can help find the right one to give you a truly opaque white in just one pass."
The G . F Smith website has been re-imagined to become an invaluable partner to the physical Collection Book, to help you specify paper with greater ease and understanding.
