Overview
Pantone Metallic inks contain metallic pigments for consistent gold, silver and custom metallic brand tones across runs. They may not match hot foil’s mirror reflection, but they integrate on press as a cost-effective metallic effect. Contrast rises on dark kraft or black grounds; local metallic areas over soft-touch or matte film create luxury unboxing. Applied as an offset spot unit.
