Explore the Many Foil Options for Stunning Print Finishes

Are you looking to make your print materials stand out? Foil is a perfect way to add a touch of luxury to your business cards, pocket folders, letterheads, and beyond. If you’re in the GTA and want to enhance your printed pieces with eye-catching foil finishes, here are some fantastic options to consider for your next project.

One of the most efficient ways to add foil to your print project is through digital foil using toner. In this process, black toner is first printed on the material, and then foil is pressed onto the toner, sticking to the paper. This method eliminates the need for dies or set-up costs, making it ideal for short-run projects where efficiency and cost-effectiveness are key. Digital foil is limited to gold and silver colours typically. 

For businesses in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) looking to create small batches of high-quality print materials with foil, this option offers great flexibility and cost savings.

Another exciting option is using an MGI or Scodex machine for digital foiling. With this technique, the material is printed first, and then a varnish is applied where the foil will be placed. The foil is then transferred, creating a three-dimensional effect similar to embossing, but without the added steps of traditional embossing. This is perfect for high-end marketing materials and premium design pieces.

While this method can be more costly, it’s increasingly popular among GTA-based designers and marketers who want to create unique, professional pieces that stand out. If you want to leave a lasting impression, this method is worth considering.

For those looking for consistent results on larger print runs, traditional foil stamping—or hot foil stamping—is a great choice. This method uses heat to transfer metallic foil onto a solid surface. It’s perfect for a variety of applications, including business cards, product packaging, letterheads, envelopes, and product tags.

At Evergreen Graphics Group, we rely on the trusted Heidelberg Windmill for traditional foil stamping, ensuring quality and precision with every project. Traditional foil offers a wide range of colors and finishes, and works well with different types of paper stock, making it a versatile option for larger print runs.

While this method does require the creation of a die, which adds to the upfront cost, it’s still a cost-effective solution for businesses in the GTA who need high-quality, larger-volume print materials.
