Hot-foiling, or foil-blocking as it is sometimes called, is a classic production process to add an extra effect to your design. Using a foil die and your chosen foil colour, we very carefully heat the die and press this through the foil, leaving the impression on the surface of your product.

Foil dies can be generated flat, textured or raised that all offer differing visual solutions. We can advise on these if you would like more information.

The choice of foil is quite extensive, far too many to list on our website, so it is well worth getting in touch to check availability. Foils can range from highly metallic, ultra-matt or perhaps you'd like a fluorescent.

There are lots of different variables that can alter or effect how the foil finish will ultimately appear - substrate, foil detail, solid areas, foil colour and the print work. Please do contact us for support using this process at the start of your project.

To support our clients with creative development using hot foils, we have designed & made a special pack - HOT F***ING. In the pack are a great selection of readily available hot foil colours, along with a handy guide on die types, foil usage and setting up your artwork. Get in touch if you would like us to send you out a pack.
