Question

Will the foil wear off or scratch over time?

Answer

Foil is bonded to the paper with heat and pressure, so under normal handling it stays put. For pieces that get touched constantly, a laminate layer over the top adds extra insurance.

  • Everyday durability: resists normal rubbing and flexing.
  • Add a laminate: soft-touch matte over foil guards against scratches and fingerprints.
  • Best for high-touch items: business cards, hangtags, and menus benefit most from the extra layer.
