Our advice: For an even more memorable effect, combine hot foil stamping and selective varnish. The hot foil stamping film is applied over a first layer of digitally applied varnish, which acts as an adhesive. The foil stamping thus benefits from all the reliefs and textures of the digital varnish. It is therefore possible to combine varnish and foil stamping on the same document.

About hot foil stamping

Technical characteristics

Gilding can be applied to an uncoated surface, provided that no trace of gilding appears on the cut. If this is not the case, for optimal adhesion, your surface will systematically be coated with a Soft Touch matte film before being varnished.


For the press to accept your print job, it must comply with a maximum format of 330 x 750 mm and a thickness of 0.45 mm.


The thickness of the foil can vary depending on the file, the type of printing, the surface, and the foil used. For your cards, packaging, or any other media, we use a thickness of approximately 29μ.
