We offer a comprehensive range of cold foil and high-end replicated foil series designed to meet the diverse needs of tobacco and alcohol packaging, premium gift boxes, brand labels, and commercial printing.
The Cat Eye Cast Cure Foil produced by Hongye manufacturer is a high-end special laser transfer film. It adopts a one-step process of molding and curing, which is different from the conventional holographic heat stamping method that merely replicates the grating. The film body can directly shape the three-dimensional cat-eye optical microstructure during the transfer molding stage. After curing and locking the shape, it forms an independent cat-eye focusing effect that changes with the viewing angle.
The Cat Eye Cast Cure Foil supplied by Hongye factory is suitable for offline heat stamping processes. It can complete the production of three-dimensional cat-eye patterns on various substrates such as card paper and laminated paper. The pattern outline has a strong three-dimensional sense, and the optical effect is concentrated and sharp. It is mostly used for brand packaging anti-counterfeiting and visual differentiation design.
Core advantages of the cat-eye effect:
- Outstanding optical focusing effect. At specific angles, it presents a concentrated and bright cat-eye spot, with visual recognition far exceeding that of ordinary holographic textures.
- The microstructure is cured and locked in shape, making the cat-eye optical structure less likely to collapse and fail after being cut, pressed, and stacked.
- The pattern boundaries are clean and neat, allowing for localized small-area cat-eye fixed effects without affecting the surrounding ordinary printed graphics.
- Strong anti-counterfeiting property, high replication threshold, suitable for brands to do packaging visual anti-counterfeiting, reducing the risk of counterfeiting.
- The light effect has a three-dimensional layer, and it can maintain stable optical performance without additional film coating, simplifying the subsequent processing procedures.

Maintenance
The storage environment for Cat Eye Cast Cure Foil should be kept cool and dry. Avoid prolonged heavy stacking. Heavy pressure can damage the three-dimensional microstructure of the cat's eye.
When processing the finished products, try to minimize repeated bending. The microstructure at the bending position is prone to damage, causing the local light effect to disappear.
The rolled material should be stored upright and kept away from heat sources and long-term ultraviolet radiation to prevent the curing layer from aging and weakening the optical effect of the cat's eye.
In the processing workshop, try to reduce dust. Dust adhering to the concave grooves of the cat's eye microstructure will directly weaken the display effect of the light spot.
