Foil Stamping

Where brilliance meets the press

Foil stamping is a centuries-old technique that brings an unmistakable glint of luxury to the printed page. From luminous metallics to vivid pigments, foil transforms ordinary paper into something extraordinary — shimmering, tactile, and full of character. Whether you’re after a subtle accent or a bold visual statement, foil is the finishing move that always impresses.

About the Process

Foil stamping uses heat and pressure to transfer coloured foil onto paper or card stock using a custom-made die. Each impression is precise, permanent, and unmistakably luxurious. It’s a hands-on process that blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary precision, making it perfect for projects where detail matters.

The process is entirely in-house, giving us full control from design to delivery — and ensuring your foiled piece is perfectly aligned, every time.

A Bit of History

Foil stamping has roots in traditional bookbinding and luxury packaging, once reserved for royal crests and high-society stationery. Modern foil presses have kept the craft alive, while expanding the palette to include vibrant pigments, holographics, and pearlescent textures. Today, foil remains one of the most impactful ways to elevate a print piece — visually and physically.
