Foil Technique:
The foil used for screen printing is similar to that used for hot stamping. It is generally a 4 mm thickness and is sold by most industry ink companies and screen printing supply companies. It is sold by the roll and is available in a wide variety of colours.
The principle is simple. The foil has a top clear carrier sheet and a shiny foil image is applied to the underside of this sheet. The foil portion of the sheet will stick to most ‘adhesives’. In this industry, plastisol is the adhesive used to pull the foil off the carrier sheet and hold it in place on the garment. All you need is a heat press and you are in business!
