Foil stamping is a premium printing method that involves the creation of a custom metal die of your artwork. The die is used to stamp the metallic foil film onto the surface of your product. Please check out our Youtube Video that takes you on a deep dive into this intricate process!
If you are ordering one of our specialty products or print finishes, you will need to set up your design files appropriately for this.
File setup for these print finishes can be a complex process and should be completed by an experienced designer.
Several products use the same setup process below, including:
In the following article, we will use setup separations for the Spot UV business card shown below – note the Spot UV glossiness over the cat illustration on the front, and the stripes on the back in Spot UV.
Follow the guidelines for setting up regular CMYK files. Some products (such as Premium Black) will not have CMYK files – if ordering one of those products, you may skip this step.
Export a press-ready PDF file for the front and back CMYK printing of the card, front and back. These files should have "Front" and "Back" at the end of the file name (for the front and back respectively). These files will not include any details for the additional print treatment.
For this step, we will create a black and white file for the separation. This can be done in many ways in your design program – by setting up new layers, defining a new artboard (new page) or creating a separate file.
The areas for treatment (spot UV, foil, emboss etc.) will need to be defined in black ink, and areas for no treatment will be white. The black colour used must be CMYK Black only – with no grey colours, or other inks.
For the best outcome, and easiest process, we recommend creating the design in vector-format - such as in Illustrator or InDesign (mandatory for embossing, debossing and foil files). Spot UV file creation in a pixel-based format (such as Photoshop), but can become difficult.
K100 Black CMYK: 0, 0, 0, 100
|
We suggest double-checking the alignment of the separation to the original CMYK artwork (created in the previous step) before proceeding.
Export each separation as a press-ready PDF file. Use the following naming conventions for your files:
Type | File Name | Example (Front) |
Spot UV | UV | Set1_Front_UV.pdf |
Emboss | EMBOSS | Set1_Front_EMBOSS.pdf |
Deboss | DEBOSS | Set1_Front_DEBOSS.pdf |
Foiling | FOIL_[colour] | Set1_Front_FOIL_Gold.pdf |
Each different treatment will need to be defined in a different separation file. For example, if you are setting up one order for Spot UV and embossing, you will need UV and EMBOSS files. For multiple sets, use the same naming convention but change the set number as appropriate (ie. “Set2_Front.pdf”, "Set2_Back.pdf" etc.).
If you are only ordering a treatment on one side of your card, only supply the front file for UV, EMBOSS, DEBOSS or FOIL (ensure any corresponding CMYK artwork is also set up on the Front.pdf file).
For this example, there are four files generated:
Ensure you upload all the files into your order for printing. See: How do I upload files?
We do not print ink on our Premium Black stocks as it will not show. The only way to add detail to the cards is with a foil, screen print or an emboss.
If you choose Premium Black W1S cards, the white is available with full color CMYK.
Yes! We offer Spot UV on our 24pt Smooth Suede Black stock. This creates a beautiful black-on-black, glossy/matte effect. Spot UV can be added on both sides of either stock and can be printed along with foil. Please contact our customer support team for a custom quote for this option.
Our Premium Black cards are produced on an all-black card stock, so the the edges are black and the inside of the card is black (if you tear it apart). This is unique as most standard cards are white and printed with black ink to appear black.
As our Premium Black stocks are very dark, standard ink will not be visible when printed. Foil, Screen Print and Emboss are the only printing processes available on our Premium Black stocks.
Our Premium Black cards are a premium product due to the high quality and caliber of card that is used – as well as the higher production costs from foiling / embossing (rather than printing).
See: What foil colours can I select from?
The Premium Black range has been developed keeping sustainability and the environment in mind. All of the card stocks contain a minimum of 30% recycled content.
Please note: 2-Ply cards or cards with foiling or cannot be recycled with regular card/paper.
As these card stocks are all uncoated they are not resistant to water.
We have a very wide range of foil colours available including Matte colours, Metallic colours, Holographic colours and Pearl colours. The following list includes the most popular foil options that can be selected during standard ordering from our Premium Black page:
Metallic
Holographic
Pearl
Matte
Samples of these foil colours are available at our locations as well as through a Specialty Sample Pack order.
We have a wide range of other types of foil colours that are available through a Print Quote request, including different shades and Special Effect foils.
