Lustrous Beacons Enchant Buyers
Unifoil offers two specialty products: UniLustre and Holographic UniLustre, metallized papers with distinct uses. The former is a reflective sheet of a solid color, typically silver, while the latter is a sheet with a three-dimensional holographic image on it.
Unifoil's production procedures distinguish its stocks from those of other vendors, say company officials. In preparing these papers, Unifoil takes a stock, which can be as thick as a 38-pt. board or as thin as a 25-lb. paper, and applies aluminum to it in layers three-millionths-of-an-inch thick. After the holographic image is ap-plied, the book surface reflects light according to the layout of the diffraction grating on that surface. It will keep this reflective quality, since the aluminum doesn't chip or flake.
