The Art of Print: Foil

Dive into the gleaming world of foil printing, where tradition meets innovation to create stunning visual effects on paper. From the classic technique of foil stamping to the modern twist of enhanced raised foil, discover how these processes add a touch of luxury and depth to printed materials. 

Foil Stamping

What it is: Applying foil to paper with a die, pressure and heat.

What it does: Leaves a smooth, light impression that retains the paper’s original texture.

The result: Shiny and luxurious foil highlights with a satiny finish.

Fun Fact: Most of our foil stationery is printed on original Heidelberg presses, some of which are more than a hundred years old!

Enhanced Raised Foil

What it is: A newer foil printing technique that offers luxurious shine and texture.

What it does: Offers subtle foil highlights that rise above the surface of the paper or big bold designs with texture that reflects the light.

The result: Luminous, raised foil wording or designs with a bright and dense metallic appearance.

Fun Fact: Unlike foil stamping, pieces printed with enhanced raised foil can feature foil on both sides of the card.
