Foil Stamping

Foil stamping is an effective way to enhance almost any image. This process uses a heated die and pressure to create a forced marriage of paper and foil. Foil is a thin flexible sheet of pigment that comes in an ever expanding spectrum of colors, tints, textures and finishes. The effects can range from colorful and dramatic, to subtle and understated. If you have not seen some of the latest foil options, you will be amazed at the variety offered.

There are some restrictions and guidelines to keep in mind. Stamping tends to fill in across narrow spaces and does not lend itself to reversal or small details like very delicate type. The stamped impression will appear flat, therefore contrasting with the surface texture of the paper. Also, foil stamping can be combined with the embossing process to produce a unique and creative combination. Be sure to visit our portfolio page to see some examples of our work.
