What is Foil Stamping?

In the package industry, foil stamping is a speical kind of finish where paper foil is used to create striking designs and graphics on the outer surface of the packaging box. It gives the paper printed box a shiny and incredible look, adding a very luxury feel. Gold/Silver foil stamping is the preferred finish methods for the cosmetic paper box, cardboard gift box and the luxury paper bags. Also foil stamping can be combined with embossing to create a more striking 3D image.

How is foil stamping done?

First of all, the short answer is “with heat and pressure.” A heated metal die cuts through a ribbon of gold foil (it may look like gold, but it really is a base metal) and deposits the diecut letters onto the substrate, pressing them into the fabric of my client's book so they will adhere.

This is a time consuming and expensive process since it requires the making of a metal die from an InDesign file. My client lays out all wording that will be on the book cover exactly as she will want it to appear, and a metal appliance not unlike a cookie cutter is created that will stamp out the foil letters onto the back cover, spine, and front cover of the book. For this reason, a new die will need to be made each year (this is an annual publication), and if my client finds any errors in the proof, the die will need to be made again as well.

Once the die has been produced, it is locked up in a foil stamping press. As the press runs, the die will strike each case side (composed of fabric-covered binder's boards for the front and back covers and spine). The die strikes the gold foil, deposits the foil on the binding fabric, affixes it with heat, and then moves on to the next cover.

Foil stamp is a process, ensuring the maximum quality move to your custom foil boxes. The foil can be any color. The foil pictures come in rolls in an extensive range of effects, finishes, and colours. Silver foil, gold foil, aluminum foil and holographic foil stamping will be the most usual. The common foil comes with a metal-like sheen and supplies a look to the foil stamped design on the custom made foil boxes. Such foil is offered in metallic shades such as gold, rose gold, sterling silver glossy silver, bronze, and copper.

Combining beautiful custom printed boxes with metallic foil will make your packaging pop off the shelf and catch the consumers eye. it adds an elegance and high end look to your packaging. Foil stamping can also be combined with embossing to create a more striking 3D image. It is an outstanding way to enhance the appearance of your boxes and really make them stand out from the competition.
