Question
Can holographic foil be applied to any paper stock?
Answer
Not to every stock. Holographic foil bonds best to smooth, coated surfaces, and heavier stocks give the cleanest, most reliable results.
| Stock | How it holds foil |
|---|---|
| Smooth coated, 16pt and 32pt | Best results, the rigid surface holds foil cleanly |
| Lighter coated stocks | Workable, but less rigid |
| Uncoated or heavily textured | Can cause adhesion issues |
If you are unsure whether your chosen stock will take the foil well, ask your printer before you order.
