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.

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.

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.

With the recent passing of #MiltonGlaser, the good people @Foilco were taken back to their NY visit last year to meet #creative agencies. They made calling cards using our chunky Sumo White 1.5mm. Inspired by Milton Glaser @studiodbd produced this take on the iconic design. https://t.co/zZlRmT1FtV
The logotype and monogram that we created, is foiled in @Foilco Buttercup Yellow onto @FedrigoniUK Materica Ardesia - a deep pulp coloured that has a slate-like finish. Ardesia, meaning 'slate' in Italian, is inspired by the fine split finish of its namesake natural stone.
With the recent passing of #MiltonGlaser, we were taken back to our trip to New York at the end of last year to meet the #creative agencies of the city.
We made some calling cards to take along with us.

We've removed 'Jiffy bags' from our business #packaging.
All foil samples are now sent out in structured, non-glued boxes.
Tape (made from wood pulp) is used to secure the boxes in transportation.
Compostable cushioning to protect your samples & prints too.
