We’re excited to share some brilliant news that makes foil printing even more appealing, especially for those of you striving to balance eye-catching design with sustainable choices.
KURZ, a global leader in decorative and functional foils, has just received official approval from the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) confirming that packaging embellished with KURZ Foils remains 100% recyclable, as long as the material itself is recyclable before decoration. This approval applies for foil coverage of up to 63%, which is a significant milestone in sustainable print and packaging.
What This Means for You
For brands and businesses that love the luxury look and feel of foil, but are conscious about their environmental impact, this is a game-changer.
You can now:
- Use foil confidently on recyclable paper stocks
- Meet sustainability goals without sacrificing design impact
- Enhance product presentation with Eco-friendly flair
Whether you’re printing packaging, stationery, labels, or promotional materials, foil no longer needs to be a trade-off between style and sustainability.
Backed by Innovation and Responsibility
This achievement reflects the incredible work of KURZ Australia in developing foils that are not only visually stunning but also eco-conscious. As Lewis Tessarolo, CEO of KURZ Australia, said: “Our team has worked tirelessly to develop foils that not only meet the highest standards of quality and aesthetics but also contribute to a more sustainable future.”
We couldn’t agree more. Foil has always been a favourite for adding a premium touch, and now it’s a responsible choice too.

At Creative Plastic Cards, we’re proud to offer foil embellishment as part of our services and even prouder to know that it supports a circular economy.
