Foil-Printed Fabric
Foil-printed fabric is a specialty textile featuring a metallic foil layer bonded to a base fabric, typically polyester or cotton, creating a striking visual effect and texture.
About Foil-Printed Fabric
This fabric is constructed by applying a thin layer of metallic foil onto a base fabric, often through a heat transfer process. The foil can be applied in various patterns, resulting in a shiny, reflective surface that enhances the aesthetic appeal of garments and accessories. The base fabric provides structural integrity and comfort, while the foil layer adds a unique visual element. Common applications include evening wear, costumes, and fashion accessories.
