Since its inception in 1992, the Foil & Specialty Effects Association has worked toward industry awareness and growth. It serves as a resource and educational platform for decorating technologies, including foil stamping, embossing, cold foil technologies, specialty coatings, laminates and laser cutting.
The FSEA is pleased to be supported in its efforts by a volunteer Board of Directors, consisting of leaders in print finishing providers and industry suppliers.
