How should I prep my files for foil stamping?You can either send a separate PDF showing only the foil stamped areas, or you can tell us what areas need to be foil stamped and we’ll happily handle the separation on our end.
How do I know if my design will work with foil stamping?Simple – send it over to us for a free file check! We’re happy to review your file and let you know if we have any concerns with how your design will work once foil stamped.
Can I see a hard copy proof of the foil stamp before ordering?We can set up a virtual press check with you, where we send photographs of your project during the foil stamping process. Due to the setup process involved with foil stamping, we are unable to provide hard copy proofs.
Can you foil stamp a textured stock?Sure can! Foil stamping and textured, uncoated stocks pair beautifully together.
