Bronze Dusting is a traditional method of applying highly reflective metallic pigments to packaging, labels and greeting cards. The use of these coarse, bronze metallic pigments ensures that a bright, glistening and unique effect is achieved in print.

The process of gold litho dusting is quite simple. The bronze dusting powder is sprinkled into a wet ink or preparation. The powder adheres to the preparation and the surplus bronze is cleaned from the unprinted area, leaving an extremely bright and original finish.
