Foil Stamping Explained

Use foil where a small reflective detail adds meaning.

Choose the placement

Logos and short accents are common uses. Very fine detail, large areas and placement near folds need a production review.

Supply the foil area as a separate clearly named layer or file. Confirm the foil color, tooling and registration requirements.

Check the edge, adhesion and alignment on a representative sample. Paper texture can affect the result.
