Question
Does hole drilling work with specialty finishes like foil or embossing?
Answer
Yes, hole drilling combines with specialty finishes without any conflict, because the drilling is one of the last steps in production. Your foil, embossing, and coatings are already applied and cured before the hole is punched, so the design stays intact.
- Foil stamping: drill after the foil is applied so the metallic detail is untouched.
- Embossing and debossing: the raised or recessed area is finished first, then the hole is added.
- Spot UV: the glossy highlight cures before drilling, keeping edges clean.
Because finishing happens in sequence, you can layer several effects on one piece and still add a clean drilled hole for string, rings, or clips.
