Can digital printing accommodate special finishes or embellishments, such as foiling or embossing?

Yes, digital printing can accommodate special finishes and embellishments, including foiling and embossing, to add an extra touch of elegance and sophistication to printed materials.

Digital foiling, also known as digital foil stamping or digital metallic printing, uses a process that applies metallic foil accents to specific areas of a printed piece. This technique can create eye-catching metallic effects, such as gold, silver, or holographic foils, adding a luxurious and attention-grabbing element to business cards, invitations, packaging, and more. Digital foiling is a cost-effective alternative to traditional foil stamping, as it eliminates the need for custom dies or plates. However, it's unable to replicate the quality and detail of traditional foil stamping.

Foil stamping is perfectly suited to digital printing and can be cost effective for both short and large print runs at our studio. Unlike digital foiling, it can be applied directly onto digital printing without the need for lamination. Additional effects can also be achieved with this approach such as overprinting designs on top of foil stamped elements allowing for the reproduction of gradients with a metallic effect, as well as multi-level embossing.

Embossing is also ideal for digitally printed products such as business cards and invitations.

While not all digital printing companies supports these finishes in-house, our studio specialises in creative print work. This means we have the capability to produce stunning 4800dpi digital print work which can then be digitally foiled, foil stamped, embossed or die cut into custom shapes. All you need to do is speak to our friendly team to discuss your specific requirements to determine the availability and feasibility of incorporating special finishes and embellishments into your project. We'll also be able to provide a quote or recommend the best approach to achieve your desired result.

By combining the convenience and flexibility of digital printing with special finishes and embellishments, you can elevate your printed materials to a whole new level, creating memorable and visually stunning pieces that leave a lasting impression.
