- Stunning Visual Effect: Foil stamping adds a touch of luxury and sophistication to any design, creating a striking visual effect that draws attention and stands out from the crowd.
- Creative Versatility: In addition to being applied to flat substrates, foil stamping can be used to highlight specific details within the design, such as logos, text or decorative elements, adding a touch of elegance and distinction.
- Variety of Colors and Finishes: Foil stamping is available in a wide range of metallic colors and finishes, including gold, silver, copper, holographic and more, allowing for complete customization to meet project needs. It is also available in select matte and gloss pigment colors like brown, yellow, green, pink, and more.
