Question
What's the difference between spot gloss and gold foil for rush orders?
Answer
On a rush timeline, foil usually holds up better than spot gloss. Spot gloss needs time to cure to reach its full shine, so on a compressed schedule it will not look as glossy as it would on a standard run. Foil gives a more consistent result under fast turnarounds.
| Spot gloss | Gold foil | |
|---|---|---|
| Rush behavior | Less glossy without full cure time | Consistent finish on fast turnarounds |
| Best for | Standard production schedules | Tight deadlines |
| Design note | Fine detail works well | Keep elements large enough to stay legible |
