Foil Stamped Notebooks
Foil-stamped notebooks feature metallic foil applied to the cover using heat and pressure, creating a luminous, eye-catching finish that instantly communicates luxury. The reflective quality of foil catches light beautifully, making logos and text shimmer with every movement.
At Perklets Print, we offer foil stamping in a wide palette of metallic colours — gold, silver, copper, rose gold, and holographic rainbow. The foil is applied precisely to your design using a custom die, creating crisp, clean metallic impressions on card stock, leather, or specialty covers.
Foil-stamped notebooks are the signature choice for luxury brands, fashion houses, hotels, and premium corporate gifts. The combination of a rich cover material with gleaming metallic foil creates an object that feels expensive and special — the kind of notebook people display on their desk rather than hide in a drawer.

FAQs: Foil Stamped Notebooks
What foil colours are available?
We stock gold, silver, copper, rose gold, red, blue, green, black, white, and holographic rainbow foils. Custom foil colours can be sourced for orders of 250+ units — ask about our foil sample book.
Can foil stamping be combined with embossing?
Yes, and it is one of our most popular premium finishes. The foil is applied into the embossed impression, creating a raised metallic effect that is both visually striking and tactile.
How fine can the foil detail be?
Foil stamping can reproduce fine details down to 0.3mm line thickness and 6pt text. However, very large solid foil areas may show slight variation. Our pre-press team will advise on optimal results.
Is foil stamping durable?
Yes, properly applied hot foil is very durable. It is bonded to the cover surface through heat and pressure, making it resistant to rubbing and fading. Matt lamination under the foil provides the best adhesion.
What is the cost of the foil stamping die?
The die is a one-time cost based on the size and complexity of your design. It is included in your first order quote. For repeat orders, the existing die is reused at no extra charge.
