Sheet-fed Offset Cold Transfer
Univacco Unveils the 2026 Cold Transfer Calendar Collection
Debuted at Paris Packaging Week 2026, this collection reimagines Edwards’s Botanical Register through cutting-edge cold transfer technology. This project explores the synergy between historical scientific illustration and modern metallic finishing, turning intricate botanical art into a high-performance technical showcase.
The Design Vision: Metallic vs. Holographic
The collection utilizes two cold transfer solutions to showcase different visual possibilities:
The A1 Large-Format Poster: High-Impact Holographic Brilliance
This edition features our CF5.1P Lite - Holographic Silver (holographic sheet-fed offset cold transfer).
Exceptionally versatile, the CF5.1P Lite Series is engineered to deliver a powerful visual presence with an ultra-high gloss foundation.
To meet diverse design requirements, this series offers a variety of patterns, including our signature Rainbow and Vertical Bright Mini Pillar. These selections support a market-leading maximum width of 1020mm (40”), ensuring we meet your most demanding technical specifications.
CF5.1P Lite excels in large-area applications. It delivers impeccable coverage and a vibrant holographic foundation that maintains exceptionally sharp definition. For this A1 Large-Format showcase, our Rainbow pattern demonstrates how brilliance remains uncompromised—even at the widest formats—achieving total tonal fullness and edge-to-edge consistency.
The Wall-Hanging Calendar: Sophisticated Metallic Precision
The flip-style calendar utilizes CF6 Lite Series - Metallic Silver (sheet-fed offset cold transfer).
This version serves as a masterclass in detail, showcasing the seamless synergy between fine-line detailing and vibrant overprinting, revealing subtle metallic gradations and intricate textures that elevate the natural colors of the botanical illustrations.
The Designer’s Toolbox: Engineering Technical Excellence
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the collection is a "living swatch book" engineered to showcase four key technical pillars:
★Large-area Cold Transfer: Delivering solid and consistent metallic coverage on expansive layouts.
★Fine-line Detailing: Ensuring exceptional precision in intricate patterns and delicate outlines.
★Halftone Effects: Tonal gradations and metallic textures revealed within dotted structures.
★Vibrant Metallic Colors: Rich color overlays and gradients achieved without compromising brilliance.
Technical annotations are integrated across both the calendar pages and the poster’s floral motifs to assist with practical application. These include precise line weights (from 0.25pt to 0.75pt) and color percentage markers (80%, 60%, 40%, 20%), and specific CMYK values for overprinted areas, allowing designers to visualize the exact relationship between ink and substrate.
