Foiled folders

Foiling presses a thin metallic film onto your folder using heat and pressure, leaving a sharp, reflective finish on the areas you specify — typically a logo, a title, or a border. It's the same technique used on premium book covers, luxury packaging, and high-end business cards.

Unlike printed metallic inks, real foil reflects light properly. That difference is what makes it stand out across a meeting room table or in a prospect's hand.

A presentation folder is often the first physical thing a client receives from you. Foiling does three things printed ink can't.

Foil works alongside our other folder finishes for a layered result. Three popular combinations:

The foil layer needs to be supplied separately from the printed artwork. Vector only — no rasterised foil layers.

Avoid fine serifs, hairline rules, and placing foil directly over fold lines. Our studio flags any of these during artwork checks before tooling is cut.

Not sure how to set up a foil layer? Send your artwork as-is and our studio will prepare it for you. There's a small setup fee for this, quoted before any work begins.

Setup is quoted per design — a one-off foiling block is made for each artwork. Pricing scales with quantity, total foil coverage and any additional finishes.
