Foil stamping
Metallic foil transferred under heat and pressure from a brass die. The finish catches light directionally, which photographs far better than printed metallic ink.

What drives the cost
Cost is driven by foil coverage and die size. A small foiled logo is inexpensive; a fully foiled lid is the most expensive finish we offer.
See it on the product
The mockup maker renders foil stamping the way it actually behaves on each substrate, and refuses the combinations that will not work — so unquotable artwork never reaches the studio.
Preview foil stampingFrequently asked questions
Which foil colour should we choose?
Gold and rose read as premium and warm; silver reads as technical. Match the foil to your brand's metal rather than to the box.
Is the die charge refundable?
We credit it back on orders above 500 units, and it stays on file for reorders.
Can you foil and deboss together?
Yes, in one pass with the same die — the impression plus the metallic finish.
