Question

What should I submit if I want foil stamping, debossing, or embossing on my business cards?

Answer

Foil stamping, debossing, and embossing are all applied from a print file that clearly shows where each effect goes. Marking those areas precisely lets the team build accurate tooling and quote the job correctly.

  • Submit your design file with each special-effect area clearly marked.
  • Separate the effects so foil, deboss, and emboss zones are unmistakable.
  • Keep effect elements bold enough to hold up. Very fine detail can struggle with dies and foil.
  • Note which effect applies to the front, the back, or both.

The cleaner and more explicit your markup, the faster you get an accurate quote and a result that matches your intent.
