What is foil stamping?

Gold Foil Stamping

Foil stamping, also known as hot stamping, is a printing method that uses heat and pressure to add a layer of foil film to your material. The most common type used in packaging and print is a shiny metallic foil stamp (e.g. gold, rose gold, silver). Foil stamping can be used to add a premium and lustrous feel to your brand, but because additional processes are required for foil stamping, there is typically an added cost for it.
