Question

Is foil stamping available on all paper stocks?

Answer

Foil can be applied to most stocks, but it looks its best on smooth, coated surfaces. Rougher papers still take foil, just with a bit more variation across the texture.

Stock typeFoil result
Smooth, coatedCrisp, even coverage
UncoatedGood, slightly softer edges
Heavily texturedSome variation on the high spots
Heavy stock (32pt and up)Holds impressions especially well
