SUPPORTING THE AUSTRALIAN PRINTING INDUSTRY
Foil Stamping
If your client's printing project demands visually appealing metallic, pigmented, and holographic foil embellishments, Avon Graphics Foil Stamping affords you an expansive choice.
EMBOSSING & DEBOSSING
Creating a sophisticated, high-end finish, embellishing packaging through embossing, raising the image or text against its background, or debossing, recessing the image into its background, is a popular process creating stunning three-dimensional effects.
Alumma
Alumma is Avon Graphics’ radical new hot foil treatment which utilises a metallic foil image with a raised finish. The innovative Alumma embellishing process involves laying down foil without the need to create a die first, meaning that, not only are the entry costs of dazzling embellishments reduced, but Alumma also enables short-run work.
Cutting
Where presswork and embellishment impart content, cutting (or die-cutting) adds shape to a printed piece. Being a subtractive process, as cutting takes away from the initial printed piece, it provides impact by both subtly and explicitly heightening engagement and reinforcing the call to action.
coatings
When designing printing material or products for your commercial print job, your clients will also need to consider print coating types. Coatings protect against moisture, dirt, creasing, fading, scuff marks, smudges, water damage, wrinkles, stains, and general wear and tear. Coatings also enhance visual appeal.
Security
Today, the use of security printing to avoid adulteration, forgery, and counterfeiting, and to secure products or documents from any sort of duplication is more important than ever. We offer off the shelf holograms through to personalized unique holograms with the highest measures of security.

Your Specialty Trade Print Partner
Regardless of the digital explosion, print remains a key player in maximising audience engagement and revenue generation. But long gone are the days when the purpose of printing and packaging was simply for the identification, communication, and protection of a product. Whereas it used to be that the only thing you needed to do to stand out was to add a flash of colour, now the main functions of printing and packaging are promotion, prestige, and differentiation. With only seconds for today’s distracted consumers to notice your brand, research has proven that imaginative optical and other sensory effects not only attract attention, but also project confidence and boldly position your product away from your competitors.
Helping your customers stand out from the crowd.

Add Personality to Your Brand
The use of multi-sensory printing also enriches consumers’ experience of your brand. Combining the sense of sight with touch or smell can encourage consumers to engage further with your product, making it more memorable. Embellishments such as gloss and matte foils, embossing, debossing, dimensional varnish, scratch and sniff, thermochromic and glow-in-the-dark all add exponentially to the impact of your brand on your consumer.
Embellishment reinforces the place of print in multi-channel marketing strategies. But even as consumers have become more discerning, the packaging of products still influences all generations and age groups and plays a vital role in today’s marketing and e-commerce. With research proving that 30% of consumers who pick up a product will purchase it, there is real power in combining visual and tactile elements to get consumer attention and make a connection.
