Swedish term or phrase: foliering
Excerpt from contractual documentation for a procurement of transit ticketing machines:

"Beskrivning av vilka möjligheter beställaren har att påverka och anpassa hårdvarudesign (hårdvara samt färg och foliering) ..."

How should "foliering" be translated here?

I've seen "foliation" offered as a translation of this term, but not in this kind of context, and I'm still a bit doubtful about it.

Explanation:
Various ticket printers use this term or "foil printing" - see e.g. http://www.premiersouthern.com/foil-tickets/

If it is the TVM that gets "folierad" then it is probably "foiling" or "foil wrapping" the machine - have a look at this company who does it with e.g. point of sale machines: https://www.foilit.co.uk/range.htm

Asker: Thanks -- I am pretty sure, though, that it is the actual machines being "folierad" in this case, not the tickets that they print. Elsewhere, the documentation says "Leverantören ska foliera TVM enligt Beställarens önskemål", where TVM = "ticket vending machine".
