Foil Stamping
Foil stamping is the process where foil is transferred to the substrate (paper) through heat and pressure. The pressure is applied through the die that carries the image to a platen of a letterpress usually. The platen is also heated to release the foil to the substrate. Dies are made of metal and the most common metals used are: Brass, Copper and magnesium. Combination stamp dies actually carry the depression of the image while the counter die carries an exact opposite image. The paper is then squeezed between the two with heat to transfer the foil and emboss the image at the same time. Foil colors include silver, gold, red, blue and green.

Metallics
Metallic inks contain pigments that give it the metallic look when using thermography (raised ink) techniques. We also use spot colors when a flat metallic ink is desired. The solid sheen is protected and at times made more lustrous with the presence of a gloss coating.
