Question

How long does foil stamped printing take to produce?

Answer

Foil stamping is a specialty process, so foil products take longer than plain printing. The calculator shows 7 business days on most foil products (raised foil and metallic foil business cards and postcards, foil wedding invitations), 9 on foil business cards and foil flyers, and 10 on silk aluminum foil business cards and raised foil pocket folders. After the base printing is finished, the metallic foil is pressed onto the sheet with a heated die in a separate stamping pass, and that extra handling is what adds the time.

  • Each foil product shows its own turnaround in the calculator, with the Estimated Completion Day and Estimated Delivery Day.
  • Exact turnaround depends on the product, the size of the foil area, and the quantity, so check the estimate on the specific product page.
  • Rush options are available for time-sensitive projects.
  • Shipping time is added after production, based on the method you choose.
