Stamping
Foil stamping can be traced back for thousands of years where gold was pounded to decorate coffins. Centuries later, gold was stamped onto leather-bound book covers by machine. The process was refined over time and by the 20th-century gold was replaced with metallic foils to reduce costs of foil stamping.
What is Foil Stamping?
Foil stamping is the application of metallic or pigmented foil on to a solid surface by application of a heated die onto foil, making it permanently adhere to the surface below leaving the design of the dye.
Foil stamping brings an entirely new layer to a book’s finishing. Choosing the right finish separates your project from the rest whether for luxury or finesse.
