Introduction
If the hot foil industry was a shopping mall, we’d be the boutique. Small enough to give
you a first class and personal service, with the experience to produce etched
magnesium hot foil blocks of exquisite quality too. Creative, thoughtful and painfully accurate, we take great pride in making your ideas reality. And we’re flexible; so we
adapt to changing needs and experiment to create a desired effect.
But we don’t stop there. We are the only company in the country which builds hot foil
machines by hand and to order. We also service hot foil machines and refurbish those which have seen better days; and we always have an extensive range in stock for sale.
As you’d expect from a boutique, we only supply the brands that we rate most highly,
like John T Marshall and Impress. These hot foil machines are hand or air operated and
we cater for all print sizes. We also stock a very special collection of accessories, from
foils to jigs. Just let us know what you need.

Meet Our Team (2)
Karl French
Partner
From the age of 16 and for the next 20 years, Karl learned everything about the hotfoil business from the leading name in the industry, John T Marshall. Building the machines is his particular passion and, as a mechanical engineer, he doesn’t just know how to build them, he can service, repair and renovate a wide range of makes and models. He won’t take short cuts or use substandard materials; his machines are, literally, built to last.
Rosalyn French
Partner
Ros started as a trainee at The Lavenham Press before moving into the hot foil industry and then founding Metallic Elephant with Karl. Her business acuity and 15 years’ hands-on experience has enabled the company to develop and grow. She’s knows everything there is to know about making the perfect block. But there’ll always be a very special place in her heart for the print industry.
