Design Best Practices

1. Submit a Separate Foil Mask File – Provide a vector file (100% K black) indicating foil placement; leave foil-free areas as white.

2. Use Less Than 50% Foil Coverage – Too much foil can result in visual “haloing” or misalignment.

3. Allow for Up to 1/16" Shift – Due to stamping tolerances, keep essential elements slightly inset.

4. Avoid Fine Text and Overlap with Spot UV – Small foil elements may smear; also ensure foil and Spot UV areas don’t touch to avoid melting.

5. Design for Contrast – Metallic foil shines best on darker or matte backgrounds—simple layouts emphasize the effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cards printed with metallic accents using heat and pressure—creating bold, shiny designs that stand out.

2. Which foil colors are available?
Options include gold, silver, copper, rose gold, black, and other metallics.

3. What is a foil mask file?
A separate black-and-white vector file defining exactly where foil should be applied. Foil goes where it's black; white areas are left untouched.

4. Can I overlap foil with Spot UV?
No; foil and UV should not overlap—keep them at least 1/16" apart to avoid issues.

5. Are foil cards expensive?
They are a premium product, but they elevate perceived value—ideal for pricing points where impact matters.

6. Can I add foil to Silk Laminated or Velvet cards?
Yes! Silk lamination can precede foil, and foil works beautifully on velvet stock (within setup constraints).
