What is foiling?

What is foiling? Foiling is a specialised print technique whereby a thin film of foil is impressed onto a document.

A foil provides a luxurious finish and is suitable for almost any type of printed item, but is commonly used on business cards, brochures and letterheads to give these pieces a high-end finish.

A metal plate applied with heat, pressure and foil is used to create a metallic effect on the focus area.

Gold and silver are the traditional favourites, but there is a wide range of colours available including copper, gunmetal, red, green, blue, black, clear and holographic foils, just to name a few.

Foil adds an interesting feature to your print job and helps your business to stand out from the crowd.
