About us
Gebrüder Burger GmbH & Co. KG Prägefolienfabrik is an owner-managed family company headquartered in Nuremberg that has existed since 1899. The company develops, produces and markets hot stamping foils in wax, pigment and metallic grades for various areas of industry. The stamping foils are used, among other things, in the shoe and leather industry, on ribbon rosettes, on promotional items, in bookbinderies, and in special applications such as brake pads, erasers or wooden cubes.

The offering includes consultation on stamping foil grades, free sample rolls and color charts, and quotation preparation after submission of material samples. All raw materials are pre-registered or registered (REACH compliance); customers are supplied in Germany and abroad.
