Foil Stamping. Add a Little Glam.

The foil stamping technique is hands-down one of the most glam wedding invitation printing options. The ultra-luxurious metallic stamped look with the foil (gold and silver are the most commonly used colors) turns everyday words into high-end, intentional stories of love. The cost of this method is also reflected in the labor-intensive process,, but the effect is immediate, so the invitation looks stunning even with minimal design additions.

Working with a talented full-service stationer makes the stationery journey the most effortless and fun part of the wedding planning experience. And because your invitations set the tone for the festivities, it’s important to get them right.

How Foil Wedding Invitations are Made

The way foil printing is done is pretty amazing. A thin strip of foil is threaded through a foil press machine and then the foil is applied on top of your surface (blank card, luxury wedding invitation, etc.).

Foil stamping differs from ink stamping in that heat and pressure are used to leave an indent on the paper (deboss). The heat causes the foil's colour to be pressed into the paper, and voilà! Pretty and shiny wedding invitations.
