What is hot foiling?
There are two main ways that you can foil invitations and stationery, one is hot foil and the other is digital foiling. The latter works by printing a piece and adhering foil through heat by use of a laminator. In our experience the results are pretty sketchy and prone to poor coverage; digital foiling leaves a flat finish.

Why is hot foiling better than digital foiling?
.
By contrast hot foiling requires the engraving of a metal plate - either magnesium or brass - which is then mounted to a press and heated. The temperature needed differs dependent upon foil type and paper type but is often around 100 celsius.
Each piece is then manually printed one at a time where Laura - our foiler-in-chief - controls the level of pressure and dwell time to achieve a beautiful finish every time. Similar to letterpress, hot foiling leaves a tactile impression in cardstock which, along with the shine of quality foil, creates a luxurious end result.
