KURZ Decorative Foils

KURZ foils are high-quality finishing foils designed for transfer processes in printing and packaging production, delivering visually distinctive and technically stable results for professional use. They are applied in hot stamping, cold foil and digital foil transfer solutions, where precise transfer, repeatability and compatibility with industrial production processes are essential.

The foils are suitable for use on paper, board, plastics, synthetic leather, textiles and other substrates, offering a wide range of design possibilities – from restrained pigmented solutions to pronounced metallised, holographic and transparent effects. KURZ solutions combine high aesthetic quality with mechanical and chemical resistance, ensuring reliable and predictable performance in both short and long production runs.

POLAP is the sole and official distributor of KURZ foils in Latvia, providing access to the full manufacturer portfolio, technical documentation, samples and professional consultation to ensure the technically and visually optimal solution for each project.

COLORIT® – Pigmented Hot Stamping Foils

COLORIT® is one of the broadest KURZ collections of pigmented hot stamping foils, designed to create a uniform and durable colour coating on a wide range of printed surfaces in professional production environments.

COLORIT® foils are based on a stable polymer transfer system that ensures high surface coverage, precise edge definition and good mechanical resistance, maintaining visual consistency even in complex graphic designs and long-term use.

These foils are used in packaging and label production, finishing of folding cartons, business cards, book covers and brand graphic elements, where controlled colour appearance, high detail accuracy and predictable technical performance are required.

COLORIT® foils are suitable for coated paper and board, varnished and unvarnished surfaces, and professional hot stamping equipment in both short and long runs.
The collection is particularly well suited for printing houses and packaging manufacturers where colour is a key design element.

LUXOR® / ALUFIN® – Metallised Hot Stamping Foils

LUXOR® (gold and coloured metal shades) and ALUFIN® (silver and aluminium shades) are the core KURZ collections of metallised hot stamping foils, providing high-quality metallic finishes for professional printing and packaging applications.

These foils are characterised by high surface gloss, optical clarity and uniform metallic layer transfer, as well as stable performance across different production speeds and stamping conditions. The coating offers good resistance to abrasion, heat exposure and chemical stress.

LUXOR® and ALUFIN® foils are widely used in premium packaging, cosmetic and alcoholic beverage cartons, labels, book covers and spines, printed materials, as well as finishing of plastic parts, synthetic leather and textiles, where a clearly defined metallic effect and long-term visual stability are required.

The foils are suitable for use on paper, board, plastics and coated surfaces, using professional hot stamping equipment in both printing and packaging production as well as industrial finishing applications.

METALITE – Universal Metallised Hot Stamping Foil

METALITE is part of the KURZ metallised foil programme (based on ALUFIN / LUXOR technology) and is designed as a stable and predictable hot stamping solution for everyday printing and packaging production. The collection focuses on a simple, reliable metallic effect with consistent visual results.

METALITE foils provide uniform metallic layer transfer, good adhesion to the substrate and stable performance under standard hot stamping conditions, maintaining quality in serial orders and repeat production runs.

These foils are used in packaging finishing, label and folding carton production, as well as various printed applications where a clearly defined metallic accent is required without additional visual effects and with controlled production costs.

METALITE is suitable for use on paper and board with professional hot stamping equipment in both short and long runs, and is particularly well suited for printing houses and packaging manufacturers with regular demand for metallised finishing.

LIGHT LINE – Holographic Hot Stamping Foils

LIGHT LINE is a KURZ collection of holographic hot stamping foils developed using micro-optical diffraction patterns to create light and motion effects on the finished surface.

The foils ensure precise transfer of the holographic layer, stable results under industrial production conditions and a clearly defined visual structure that remains consistent even in long runs.

LIGHT LINE foils are used in premium packaging, cosmetics, gift products, label and folding carton production, as well as in product authentication, anti-counterfeiting and visual identification elements.

The collection is suitable for various types of paper and board in professional hot stamping equipment and is intended for projects where the holographic effect serves both a design and a functional purpose.

LUMAFIN® – Transparent Hot Stamping Foils

LUMAFIN® is a KURZ collection of transparent hot stamping foils designed to create a glossy, visually clean coating on printed surfaces.

The foils provide uniform transfer of the transparent layer, high surface gloss and good colour rendition of the underlying print, particularly when combined with embossing elements.

LUMAFIN® is used in packaging, labels, design accents and printed materials where light reflection, visual depth and precisely controlled finishing quality are essential.

The collection is suitable for use on paper and board with professional hot stamping equipment and is intended for projects requiring a lacquer-like, yet more technologically durable finishing solution.

DIGITAL TRANSFER – Foils for Digital Finishing

DIGITAL TRANSFER comprises KURZ digital foil transfer solutions designed to create metallic effects without the use of hot stamping dies.

These foils ensure precise transfer directly from the digital file, reduce setup time and enable personalised and variable designs with high visual consistency.

Digital Transfer solutions are used in premium printing, packaging, promotional materials and personalised projects where flexible production and high-quality finishing are required in short runs.

The foils are intended for use with digital finishing systems such as Scodix, on paper and board substrates, and are particularly suitable for projects involving variable data.
