Question
How does Wonderfoil compare to other specialty finishes?
Answer
The big difference is coverage. A metallic-substrate finish gives you shine across the entire surface, while accent finishes like spot UV or foil stamping only treat specific areas of the design.
| Finish | Effect | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Metallic substrate | Reflective sheen | Full surface |
| Spot UV | Glossy contrast | Selected areas |
| Foil stamping | Metallic accent | Selected areas |
| Raised / dimensional | Texture you can feel | Selected areas |
Your choice comes down to the effect you want: full-surface shine, selective contrast, or a textured, dimensional feel rather than a reflective one.
