Foil Stamped Invitations
Foil stamping transforms an invitation from printed paper into a tactile work of art. The metallic gleam of gold, silver, rose gold, or copper foil catches the light and immediately signals that this is no ordinary event. At Perklets Print, our foil stamped invitations are produced using precision hot-foil stamping dies that press metallic foil into the paper surface with exacting detail.
The result is a raised, lustrous finish that photographs beautifully and feels extraordinary in the hand. Foil stamping is ideal for names, monograms, borders, decorative motifs, and accent details. It can be combined with standard CMYK printing — foil for the headline and accents, full colour for supporting text and imagery — creating a layered, premium look that justifies the highest expectations.
We offer a wide palette of foil colours including classic gold, silver, rose gold, copper, and holographic options. Matte foils provide a sophisticated understated gleam, while gloss foils deliver a mirror-like brilliance. Our experienced press operators ensure clean, crisp stamping on every piece, whether you are ordering 50 exclusive invitations or 2,000 for a grand celebration.

FAQs: Foil Stamped Invitations
What foil colours are available?
We stock gold (gloss and matte), silver (gloss and matte), rose gold, copper, and holographic foils as standard. Custom foil colours including red, blue, green, and white are available on request with a slightly longer lead time.
Can foil stamping be combined with other finishes?
Yes, foil stamping pairs beautifully with embossing, letterpress, and spot UV. A popular combination is blind embossing with gold foil accents. Multi-finish invitations have a longer production time of 10–14 working days.
What is the minimum detail size for foil?
We recommend a minimum line width of 0.5mm and a minimum font size of 8pt for clean foil reproduction. Very fine serifs and intricate scripts may require testing — we provide a foil proof for approval before full production.
Is foil stamping available on envelopes?
Yes, we can foil stamp envelopes with a return address, monogram, or decorative seal on the flap. Envelope foiling adds 2–3 working days to production.
How should I prepare my artwork for foil?
Supply foil areas as a separate layer in your artwork file, using solid fills (no gradients or halftones). Foil elements must be vector-based. We will provide a proof showing the foil placement before printing.
