Foil stamping presses a thin layer of metallic foil onto your packaging with heat and pressure, so logos, lettering and patterns shine and catch the light. Add gold, silver or coloured foil to any custom box for an instantly premium finish.
Foil works best as an accent: a logo on the lid, a product name on the front panel or a fine border around the edge. We set the foil area from your artwork, check that small text and fine lines will stamp cleanly, and choose a foil colour that sits well with your printed design.
