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.

This is a great printing store and service. Very fast online response and printing service. I want to thanks all the hard work that Rory provided. I need my book in a week, but they print it out and send it to my apartment in two days. Comparing to the other stores I asked for a quote, it has a very great price. Love it!

Super impressed with both the quality of the work and the customer service I received from TGP! Had a rush order I needed done ASAP, and TGP (specifically Rory) was there every step of the way to ensure I got my order on time and to my exact specifications. He was incredibly responsive by email and phone, and anytime I had a question he got back to me immediately. The books themselves that I needed printed and bound were beautiful. For any future projects I will be using TGP, and I would highly recommend anyone else do the same!

Rory and co. were great to work with! Rory was very responsive and professional, and made sure to stay in touch and on top of deliverables, including being flexible when deliverables were adjusted midway through the project. Would highly recommend Thomas Group Printing.

Glen and Rory saved the day with a recent print job (15k booklets for an exhibition opening). Not only did they stay ahead of schedule while we were already running behind, but when a last minute change meant we had to reprint everything right before the opening, they miraculously pulled it off. They're responsive, accommodating, calm, and kind!

Working with Thomas Group was an absolute pleasure. I had a project containing five different pieces that need to be printed and shipped within a week to our offices in Seattle. Their team ensured that each piece was consistent in terms of color, paper weight, texture, etc. The product turned out even better than I expected, a truly premium print quality. Communication from start to finish was easy - they checked in with me at every stage of the process, requested my input when needed, and provided tracking information so I knew when our office would expect to receive the materials. I would highly recommend them as a fantastic printer in NYC and other cities in the US.

Glen, Rory and the Thomas team took on a rush project with a very tight deadline. Not only did they deliver a great product on time but, almost as important, they communicated clearly and effectively, so I could keep an anxious client calm throughout.
