What is Digital Foiling?

Foil print orders involves applying metallic foil finish to a card or paper by the use of heating plates. This helps you to leave foiled elements embossed and textured because the foil gets pressed by heat in the paper stock or card. On the other hand, digital foil finish doesn't have the need to use the plates. Instead, it prints directly from a computer file that means that there is no cost for the set via our digtial printing shop. It also has other benefits too. It is mainly the process in which the foil is added to the design with the use of a die.

The foil stocks up permanently so as to design and create a shiny metal look. When it is used in moderation, digital foil finish options are perfect for brochures that are of a premium brand. We, at Brightside Print and Design, deliver you the best quality digital foil that no other company offers. All over the UK, we offer you the best designs that are unique and affordable.
