Digital Foiling vs. Foil Pressing: Which One is Right for You?
Digital foiling is the modern alternative to traditional foil stamping, allowing you to add metallic finishes to your designs without the need for custom-made dies. This technique uses a digital process to adhere thin layers of metallic foil to the paper, creating an eye-catching shimmer that enhances your save the dates.
Unlike traditional foil pressing, which requires engraving and metal dies to press the foil into cardstock, digital foiling embraces advanced technology for a more efficient process.
Printing the Design – Your custom design is printed using a high-tech, toner-based digital printer to ensure crisp, precise details.
Applying the Foil – The printed sheets are then carefully placed into a specialised foil machine. Heat activates the toner, making it sticky in just the right spots.
Final Touches – The foil adheres to these areas, creating a beautifully finished, personalised piece with a luxurious metallic shine.
Versatility – Works well with intricate designs and fine fonts, allowing for greater design flexibility.
Faster Turnaround – No need for custom dies, which means a quicker production process—perfect for last-minute orders.
Cost-Effective – More budget-friendly than foil pressing, especially for smaller print runs since there's no extra setup cost.
Precision – Offers exact placement of foil, allowing for more intricate and personalised designs.
Less Texture – Traditional foil pressing creates a slight impression on the cardstock, giving a more tactile, embossed feel that digital foiling doesn’t replicate as strongly.
Durability Differences – While still long-lasting, digital foiling may not be as resilient as foil pressing, especially on heavily handled items.
If you’re looking for a cost-effective, quick, and precise foiling method, digital foiling is an excellent choice. However, if you prefer a more traditional, textured finish with enhanced durability, foil pressing may be the better option. Learn more about see our foil pressed Save the Dates here.
