The TWGU0050 is a UV cold foil stamping glue from TriWill Group, formulated for inline cold foil stamping on flexo presses. It enables metallic foil effects to be applied inline during flexo label and packaging printing — printed where foil is required, foil applied, and cured under UV light for a precise, high-quality metallic finish.

TriWill Group supplies TWGU0050 to US label converters and flexible packaging printers producing metallic effect labels and packaging with inline cold foil on UV-equipped flexo presses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cold foil printing?

Cold foil printing (cold foil stamping) applies metallic foil to labels and packaging using a UV-curable adhesive printed inline, rather than heated dies. The adhesive is printed where foil is required, foil applied, and UV curing bonds it — enabling metallic effects inline on the press.

What is the difference between TWGU0050 and TWGU1050?

TWGU0050 is a UV cold foil glue for flexo presses (narrow web labels and packaging), while TWGU1050 is a UV cold foil adhesive for offset presses. Both enable inline cold foil, but each is formulated for its specific press type.

Can cold foil be overprinted for colour effects?

Yes. Cold foil provides a metallic base (typically silver) that can be overprinted with transparent inks to create metallic colour effects, expanding design possibilities for labels and packaging.

Does TWGU0050 require UV curing?

Yes. TWGU0050 is UV-curable and requires a UV curing system on the flexo press. Contact TriWill Group to confirm compatibility with your equipment.
