Question
How long does metallic foil printing take?
Answer
Foil stamping adds a production step compared with standard digital printing, since the foil has to be applied with a heated die after the base is printed. Because of that extra step, foil orders take a little longer than plain CMYK jobs.
| Stage | Typical timing |
|---|---|
| Proof approval | Before production begins |
| Printing and foil stamping | Adds time versus standard jobs |
| Ship window | About 5 to 7 business days after proof approval |
Turnaround can vary by product and quantity, so check the specific product page for the exact window before you order.
