Paul Hornby is the Managing Directory of Foilco Limited – a UK based company producing foils. We met him in Copenhagen and asked him how the environmental program progresses, and rest assured – it goes well. 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.

The 2022 Pantone of the year is here and this time it’s 17-3938 Veri Peri. A stunning purple that we have the perfect foil matches for!
First is our Heather Satin Purple Silver (6729) this is by far our closest match to Veri Peri.
A new year requires fresh foils and shade cards! ✨
Recently we released the full set of our foil range of fanfolds, giving you the chance to have one of the world’s largest foil selections at your fingertips.

We have a hugely exciting year ahead of us from new products to plenty of events and can’t wait to share everything we have been working on with you.
But to start the year we want to take a minute to reflect on just some of our successes from 2021
New Year, New Beginnings...
2021 was a year of change for me with my career evolving in to becoming a visual artist and as a result, a new word mark was created to represent this new adventure.

The Foilco team will be taking a well-deserved break during the festive period. We will be closed from 5pm 23rd December and reopening 4th January.
During this time, we will have a limited office team to handle any enquiries but our production will be closed.
2021 has been a huge year at Foilco and our Astral range is an amazing reflection of just that.
We began the year with Astral Gold (7126) and Silver (7154), one of the first environmentally friendly alternatives to glitter and
Working collaboratively with the inventive minds from Wavefront Technology, we are excited to share our latest creation – Astral Plus. This foil is the most authentic representation of a glitter finish in hot stamping foil, all without the environmental impact.
‘All Life Starts Somewhere’ is how we introduced our Astral innovation at the start of 2021.
Striving to keep improving our creative foils, we’ve been hard at work to bring you this latest innovation that reflects yet more light and creates even more movement.
