The luxurious appearance of brushed metal that emanates value to customers everywhere begins with the scratching or abrading of the surface
of a plastic film. While the film of choice in the industry is polyester, Brushfoil is capable of brushing a variety of other films such as polystyrene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, casted acetate and vinyl.

By varying the type of film used and the depth, length and direction of the brushed lines, this finish can take on a number of appealing looks. A standard brushed, a “bright” brushed, and patterned finishes such as Crisscross and Diamond are available from Brushfoil. We are the first to offer these patterns in a mechanical brushed finish, providing the direct benefit of a “textured” finish that not only can be seen, but felt.

In addition to brushing the film, we also give our customers the option of having the film prepared with our proprietary topcoat, which has been found to achieve early dyne levels of 50 and higher. Although many of the films on the market today are supplied with chemical or corona treatments that are quite capable of handling many common ink systems, our superior coating allows printers to use an endless variety of inks.
