The Base Unit is the core of the Vinfoil Optima, designed to handle foil delicately, avoiding contact with its sensitive side until application. It uses Vinfoil’s bi-directional extended locking shafts for smooth unwinding and rewinding, fitting most 3″ cores, and features advanced speed and tension controls through its Direct Foil Drive and Break systems. Operator-friendly elements include a touchscreen interface, remote chucks, diameter sensors, and a web guiding mechanism, alongside a foil web break sensor for immediate malfunction detection. Additionally, its Multireel capability allows the use of multiple smaller reels, significantly reducing foil waste.

Using a standard offset plate, an image is printed onto a substrate by the use of a tacky adhesive. Foil spools from an unwind and is nipped to a substrate. The aluminium particles from the cold foil layer are released from the polyester film and transferred to the substrate by the tack of the glue.
An image with a bright surface is created on the sheet. Foil that does not adhere to the adhesive remains on the 12um film, and waste is directed to a rewind spool or to a shredder (Vinfoil Infigo systems).
Multiple Foil Use (MFU) is Vinfoil’s patented foil saving technology.
By guiding the foil web back into the printing nip (after transferring parts of the metallic layer for the first time) a foil web can be used up to 3 times during the same job and foil savings up to 85% can be reached. (Compared to full web and laminated board, depending on the job.)
