Overview
Foil stamping on a finished label gives a brightness that printed metallic ink cannot reach, because it is real metal film rather than a suspension of flakes. Combined with embossing in the same pass, it produces the raised, high-shine effect used on premium packaging, certificates and anniversary editions.
Key points
- Real metal film, brighter than printed metallic ink
- Foil and emboss combined in a single pass
- Registered accurately to the printed image
- Brass and magnesium tooling cut to your artwork

Questions
Hot Stamping Foil Labels — questions we are asked
What material is used for Hot Stamping Foil Labels?
Coated and uncoated paper, board, textured stock. We specify the material against the job it actually has to do rather than supplying a single default — tell us the application and the conditions it will see, and we will confirm the build.
Can Hot Stamping Foil Labels be made in a custom size or shape?
Yes. Cutting tools are made on our own premises, so a custom die profile is a matter of days rather than a wait on an outside toolmaker. Send the dimensions, a drawing or a sample of the container and we will confirm the tooling and quote it.
What is the minimum order quantity for Hot Stamping Foil Labels?
Quantities are quoted per job rather than fixed, because the economics change with the size, the number of colours and the material. Tell us the run size you have in mind and we will tell you honestly whether it is viable and what it costs.
How do I supply artwork?
Print-ready PDF, AI, EPS or CDR with 3 mm bleed and fonts converted to outlines. If you do not have artwork we can set it from your logo and copy. Nothing goes to plate or die until you have approved a digital proof.
Need a label built for your product?
Send us the size, the material and the surface it goes on. We will quote with a lead time, and make a sample before you commit to a production run.
