Foil Stamping Finishes

Foil stamping applies a metallic or pigmented foil to paper using heat and pressure. It creates a shiny, reflective finish that conveys luxury and prestige. 

If you want something to look expensive, you foil stamp it. This process uses heat and pressure to stamp a thin layer of metallic foil onto the paper.

Unlike metallic ink (which just looks kind of glittery), foil reflects light like actual metal. We might use a silver foil for the logo on an executive report or a certificate. It screams "Premium" and demands attention.
