The application of foil to paper where a heated dye is stamped onto the foil for adherence refers to foil stamping. With this, the surface is left with the design of the dye on the paper. Further, to create a more striking 3D image, foil stamping can be combined with embossing. Heat and metallic foils are used to create shiny metallic eye-catching finishes on invitations, personalised stationery, cards, etc. Aside from these, foil stamping or hot stamping creates elegant, non-tarnishing metallic finish to be applied to paper or a similar substrate The plate strikes a foil film, transferring the foil coating from the roll film onto the substrate that is to be imprinted. A reflective image is the result of the high-density metallic finish, and the image has a bright and dense metallic appearance. Some of the effects, colors of foil, and finishes available are leather, wood, pearl finishes, gold, silver, and colored metallic, and some are geometric multi-dimensional patterns.
