Foils
Foil finishing involves applying a thin metallic or pigmented foil onto printed materials to create a shiny and reflective effect. This process adds a touch of sophistication and visual appeal, enhancing the product's overall aesthetic.
From rose gold and gold foil to silver foil and beyond, our foil finishing services encompass a range of customizations to enhance your print project and take it to the next level.
How It Works
A custom die is created according to the design elements intended for foiling. Available in various colors and finishes, the foil is then heat-pressed onto the printed material, transferring it to the designated areas. The result is a metallic or colored layer that adds a striking contrast and luxurious feel to the printed piece.
