Foil stamping is becoming very popular as both a finishing process and a legitimate printing method. This is because it can offer an array of benefits. In order to use it effectively however, you must make sure you look at the design considerations.

How does it work?

The most functional use of metallised foils demands that you know how stamping works. Additionally, you need to understand the vital differences in visual effect. A foil blocked piece will look very different to printed images. For example, a design in black and white will usually create a completely opposite effect. This happens when you reproduce it in silver and gold.

Appreciation

There are two other things that are of equal significance for the designer. They must appreciate the background colour’s effect and the texture of the substrate. The colour shall dictate the level of contrast. Moreover, it will add its unique tone to the silver or gold impression.

As a result, you can only obtain subdued effects on antique and comparably finished stock. On the other hand, a cast-coated base will look brilliant with any given foil.
