Wedding and Greeting Stationery
This prized printing method allows us to create really breathtaking gold wedding invitations, or silver wedding invitations, or whatever shine your heart desires. You can mix letterpress and foil stamping in a single design; print your invitation in soft colored foils (tawny! frost! pearl!); or go two tone, mixing a gold matte foil with a gold shine foil for a truly stunning look.
You can also combine foil stamping with digital printing on our new Smooth Cotton paper. Foil stamped invitations can be recycled like any paper, though we bet your guests may hang onto theirs as keepsakes.
On similar lines, our foil stamping helps us in creating eye catching greeting cards and other personalised stationery ideas.
Adding a metallic finish to your greetings cards with foil blocking creates something very special. We have a broad selection of foils from traditional gold and silver to other more contemporary colours in matt or gloss finishes.

You can also make your greeting card really stand out with blind embossing to the foiled area. For brilliant metallic colour, foil stamping is unparalleled. With its shimmering highlights, foil blocking can bring your design to life.
Foils are actually a very thin polyester film carrying a foil pigment. We create a die of the desired image which is then pressed against the paper, trapping the film inbetween. Heat is applied through the die as well as pressure to the paper. The foil is released from the film carrier and transferred to the paper.
Foils for blocking are available in a myriad of finishes; metallic, pearl, opalescent, gloss, matt or even pastel. Foil blocking offers the card designer a true metallic finish.
How to get the best results when using foil blocking
Foil blocking works best with crisp, black and white line art. Designs with intricate patterns or tight letter spacing may need coated or smooth paper stocks to get the best results.
