MiraFoil™ Recyclable Metallic Coating
MiraFoil™ is a key component of our Green Chic™ packaging model, which delivers "Beauty without Compromise" by capturing the essence of luxury brands while communicating an environmentally-friendly image and awareness.
MiraFoil™ coating provides “Foil on Demand at Print Speed”. It is an economical alternative to foil stamping which can be applied in-line. The environmentally-friendly coating is completely recyclable, uses no heavy metals, and results in less material and energy usage compared to an off-line foil stamping process.
Diamond applies MiraFoil™ in an initial flexo dispersion coater on its new state-of-the-art Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 105 offset printing press prior to printing up to eight colors and two additional specialty coatings — all in a single pass!
