Foil Stamping is a simple process that adds elegance to any piece. It is especially appropriate for brochure and proposal covers, binders and folders. It can be used to highlight text, logos, or other graphics and can be used in conjunction with embossing or debossing.
The process of foil stamping starts by creating a metal die from camera-ready artwork. Then,heat is applied to the die as it is pressed through a thin polyester film ribbon (the foil) and onto the paper. The foil is then released and fused onto the paper.
Foil stamping is available in a variety of colors and
finishes, although most commonly seen in gold metallic. These options range from metallic (matte and glossy), satin, pearlized, wood grain, holographic, marble, colorful
pigmented, and clear foils. Foil swatches and samples are available from your
