Foil Stamped Letterheads
Foil stamped letterheads represent the pinnacle of corporate stationery. Metallic foil — gold, silver, rose gold, or custom colours — is pressed onto the paper surface using heat and pressure, creating a brilliant, reflective finish on your logo, company name, or decorative elements that radiates luxury and authority.
At Perklets Print, our foil stamping process delivers sharp, precise metallic impressions that catch the light beautifully. Applied to premium paper stocks, foil stamped letterheads create an immediate impression of prestige and quality that sets the tone for every document you send.
Foil stamped letterheads are the preferred choice of luxury brands, executive offices, VIP communications, and any context where the stationery itself needs to communicate exceptional quality. A foil-stamped letterhead turns an ordinary letter into a statement.

FAQs: Foil Stamped Letterheads
What foil colours are available?
We stock gold, silver, rose gold, copper, and holographic foils. Custom metallic colours (red, blue, green, black metallic, etc.) are available on request.
Can I write over foiled areas?
Foiled areas have a smooth metallic surface that does not accept ballpoint or gel pen ink as well as uncoated paper. We recommend positioning foil in the header/footer and keeping the writing area foil-free.
Can foil be combined with embossing?
Yes, foil embossing combines metallic foil with a raised surface, creating a 3D metallic effect. This is the most premium letterhead finish we offer.
How many foil colours can I use?
Each foil colour requires a separate pass and die. Most clients use one foil colour (typically gold or silver) for cost efficiency. Two-colour foil is available at additional cost.
