Question

What file formats and specifications does 4OVER4 need for foil stamping?

Answer

Foil stamping uses a metal die to press foil onto the sheet, so 4OVER4 needs artwork that keeps fine detail crisp. Vector files are required for the foil layer.

  • Supply the foil elements as vector art so edges and thin lines reproduce cleanly on the die.
  • Keep foil detail bold enough to stamp well, since very fine lines and small type can fill in or drop out.
  • The die layout (1up, 4up, 8up, or 12up) and the cost depend on your order quantity and the piece.

Send your file and full project details to the 4OVER4 custom projects team for an accurate quote and confirmation of the die setup for your run.
