Foil stamping is a finishing technique that uses foil to create a decorative design by stamping it over an area of your print.

In order to apply the foil according to your design or text, it requires a specially crafted metal plate called a die, custom-made for each specific job. The design or text on the die is raised.  This then serves as a mold for the foil application process.

Foil, which is a thin, flexible material available in various colors and finishes such as metallic gold foil.  Once placed between the die and your material the machine applies heat and pressure. The heat softens the foil, allowing it to adhere to the surface of the material. The pressure ensures that the foil conforms to the contours of the raised areas on the die, transferring the design onto the material.

After the heat and pressure are applied the result is a striking design or text that contrasts with the underlying material.

Foil stamping is commonly used for unique business cards, covers, cards, invitations, and various promotional materials. It adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to printed items, making them visually appealing and enhances their perceived value. Foil can even be stamped over an embossed or debossed area to enhance the tactile value of your piece.

The versatility of foil stamping allows for a wide range of creative possibilities.  Thus making it a popular choice for businesses and designers looking to make a memorable impression with their printed materials.
