SILVER FOIL PRINTING & WEDDING STATIONERY

It is a method of applying a layer of foil onto the card or other substrate being used. Foiling creates a luxury tactile feel on the finished item, which is why it is often used in high end wedding stationery or corporate business printing. Foil printing can be used for the full design or to add highlights and effects to a design that we have first printed on our presses.

This refers to some or all of the design that has been created using a silver foil rather than printed inks or toners.

We are often asked and love to demonstrate to visitors how we make silver foil wedding invitations. We apply foil using traditional hand operated hot foiling machinery that dates back to the middle of the last century and we have decades of experience using them. This means we can always create the required combination of heat, pressure and dwell to match the card type being used and ensure perfect foiled designs.

It is possible to print a version of silver foiling on some of the machines designed for hobby or home use, however these apply their foil in a very different way. If it is the professional high end finish that you require we would advise using a hot foil printer that has invested in the traditional hand operated foiling machines, along with building up many years of experience creating foiled wedding stationery.

Yes, we are happy to send free samples of silver foiling. We believe the quality of our work and hand foiling speaks for itself, especially when combined with the quality of card stack that we use from the likes of G F Smith.

To discuss your design ideas and order your samples please contact us.

If you live further afield we are happy to discuss dispatch to other countries, please contact us to discuss you requirements and we will be able to help. If you are visiting Norwich you are welcome to visit by appointment and see our foiling machines in action.

We silver foil from our customers design files or we can offer a full graphic design service from the information you have. Even if you are at the concept stage we can work with you to bring your ideas to life and take the time to proof designs back and forth until you are completely happy with them. We do not use stock sets so all of our stationery sets are silver foil bespoke designs from either the customer artwork or a collaboration with our designers.

Using our traditional hand hot foiling machines we are able to create beautiful results using Hot Foiling onto Vellum. Often we create the printed part of a design first then apply hot foil as a second process to provide highlights to the invitation or other piece, in the same way you would when designing were a traditional weight card be used. Our most popular hot foil colours are Gold, Rose Gold, Copper, Silver or Holographic. However we can foil in many different colours to meet your requirements.
