Jet Park, Boksburg corridor, Gauteng. Collection by arrangement.
Most briefs that mention contacting the foil desk start with a finish mood, not a foil grade. We translate that mood into a roll that can actually run on the press you have on the floor today.
On coated board, contacting the foil desk usually wants a medium release and a heat window that does not scorch the ink stack underneath. Soft-touch laminate is less forgiving, so we flag grades that bite without tearing the soft layer.
Trade printers in Gauteng often keep two golds and one silver on the shelf, then indent pigment or holographic when a brand job lands. That pattern still works. We just keep the swatch books honest so the indent is not a surprise.
If adhesion looks weak, check varnish and corona before blaming the foil. A lot of 'bad foil' tickets turn out to be a stacking issue that a different dwell or a cleaner die face would have caught in make-ready.
