A premium finish, on demand
Metallic print catches the eye. Traditionally, getting it meant commercial foil blocking, with set-up costs and minimum quantities that rarely make sense for a single certificate or a handful of menus. Omnicrom, introduced to the UK by Pluss in 1985, gives you the same kind of effect from your own photocopier or laser printer. Print, lay on a Pluss colour transfer sheet, apply heat and pressure, and peel.
Because every piece is printed individually, every piece can be different. That is where Omnicrom really earns its place.
Popular applications
Menus
Gold menus give restaurants, hotels and event caterers an upmarket look, and because they are printed in-house, they can be updated whenever the dishes change.
Personalised wine labels
Names, dates and messages in metallic foil make memorable gifts for weddings, anniversaries and corporate events. Transfer onto Pluss self-adhesive film for labels that are ready to apply.
Stationery
Add a metallic logo or heading to letterheads, compliment slips, cards and folders for short runs or special occasions.
Certificates
Awards, diplomas and course certificates look more substantial with a gold border or seal, and each one can carry a different name.
Table tents
Table numbers, place names and promotional table tents for events, bars and restaurants.
Invitations
Wedding, party and corporate invitations with a metallic touch, produced in exactly the quantity you need.

Planning a job
A few general points help any Omnicrom project go smoothly:
- Design with solid areas of toner where you want foil; the colour only sticks to toner.
- Decide which parts should be metallic and which should stay as ordinary print.
- Choose a paper or card that runs well through your printer and laminator.
- Run a test piece before a batch, especially when using a new stock.
Our Omnicrom foil transfer guide explains the process step by step, and foil transfer ideas has more inspiration.
