It\u2019s called Foil Stamping. Let us explain\u2026<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re familiar with custom printing, you\u2019ve probably heard of foil printing, a popular technique that adds a metallic or shiny finish to stationery, packaging and other printed materials. But what about &#8220;foil letterpress&#8221;? Are these two different processes, or simply two names for the same technique? Let\u2019s take a closer look&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>What is Foil Printing?<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4414\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4414\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tog.ink\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GraySP_Foil_alt-square.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4414 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/tog.ink\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GraySP_Foil_alt-square.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4414\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ultrawhite Superfine Eggshell, 120 lb. Flat Card shown with Copper Foil Stamping<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tog.ink\/custserv_content.jsp?pageName=foil-stamping\">Foil printing<\/a> is a print finishing technique that applies a thin layer of matte, metallic or holographic foil to a surface. It creates a luxurious effect that stands out on custom print projects, from wedding invitations to business cards. Unlike other printing processes, foil doesn\u2019t use ink. Instead, it uses heat, pressure and foil to transfer designs, text, or patterns onto paper.<\/p>\n<h2>Is Foil Letterpress the same as Foil Printing?<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4416\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4416\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tog.ink\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GraySP_FoilLetterpress_alt-square.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4416 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/tog.ink\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GraySP_FoilLetterpress_alt-square.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4416\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fluorescent White, 220 lb.

It&#8217;s important to note, however, that foil stamping is NOT the same as letterpress.
