Foil Stamping NYC

Professional Foil Stamping in New York City

Foil stamping, also known as letterpress foil stamping, is a versatile finishing technique that gives projects a lustrous surface finish. Foil stamping involves applying either a metallic or pigmented foil to the surface of a printed project in order to enhance the overall appearance and add a creative element to printed projects.

There are multiple types of foil printing available, and our team at Thomas Group Printing can help you choose the best finishing technique for your next project.

The Foil Stamping Process

Traditional foil stamping involves etching a design onto a metal plate called a foiling die, similar to a rubber stamp. Once the design is on the die, the die is heated up and a thin layer of foil is placed between the die and the substrate. The die is then used to apply pressure to the foil and the printed surface, which causes the foil to permanently adhere to the paper in the shape of the etched design.

It’s possible to have multiple colors of foil during hot stamping services. To achieve this, multiple dies need to be made for each color and several runs of the press foiling machine are required to create the final design. Foils can also range from gloss metallics to matte finish depending on the level of shine desired. Foil stamping can add an additional element of professionalism and design to projects such as book covers and point of purchase materials including table tents, counter displays, and floor displays.

Types of Foils Used

Different types of foil can achieve different effects depending on the specifications of the project. Some of the most popular types of foils are:

Metalized foil. This material creates a shiny, metallic finish during the foil stamping process, with gold foil printing and silver being the most popular choices.
Pearl foil is commonly used on wedding invitations and greeting cards for a pearlescent shine
Holographic foil can produce 3D or rainbow-colored patterns and can be an ideal option for ID cards, credit cards, and print jobs that require security seals
Effects foils usually have multiple colored tones or patterns such as sparkles, stripes, and light diffractions
Scratch-Off foils are meant to be only temporarily adhered to the surface and are meant to conceal sensitive information. This type of foil is commonly found on lottery tickets and phone cards.

The type of foil stamping that’s best for your project will depend on many factors, and we’re here to help you plan your project to perfection every step of the way.

We had quite a last minute turnaround for some hard cover workbooks to be printed for an event. I had been in touch with Glen at TGP and can not thank the team enough for being so flexible with our forever changing deadlines. The final quality of the product was great and we got very positive feedback from those who received the finished product.

I worked with Thomas Group Printing for a project with multiple printing requirements under a very tight timeline. They were amazing to work with - very communicative, professional, and delivered everything I needed on time. Other printers I researched could not meet my deadline, and not only did Thomas Group meet it without any issues, but the entire experience was very easy and positive. Will definitely use them again!

So incredibly thankful for Thomas Group Printing. Thomas, Rory and the team came through at the very last minute after a FedEx nightmare of customized birthday books being shipped from LA to NY. Sadly, I found out the books I had made in LA would not make it in time so I called Thomas and they reassured me they could reprint the books same day and deliver to the hotel my boss was staying at. It was lightening speed, very fair pricing and overall amazing service. As a fellow NY'er living in LA I was proud to know they were there to help. Would highly recommend them to do great quality work with a friendly, prompt response time. Thanks again guys, you saved the day!!

I am in CA and had a very large last minute copying /binding job. I had never used Thomas Group before but I got a good vibe from them and honestly they were the only ones we responded quickly. They let me know they received all my documents and were working on them. They printed, prepped and delivered them 2 hours ahead of schedule. I felt the price was fair due to the volume and sense of urgency of my assignment. Highly recommend, I'll use them again for future assignments.

Five stars! If there were a sixth star, I'd give them that too!We worked with them on our organization's recent year-end fundraising mailer. And they handled everything, from the mail merge to printing all of the materials, to stuffing and stamping and even mailing all of our letters.And all I can say is that everything you read in all of these five-star reviews about working with Rory and his team is spot-on. The quality of their work is that good. Their attention to detail is that flawless. Their turnaround time is that fast. They actually are that responsive. And, somehow, their prices are that competitive.We're already working with them on our next project and there will be many more to come 👍👍👍
