Rose (gold and copper) Foils - The rose coloured foils have become extremely popular over the last couple of years, but are still quite limited in their shade variations. Only available in metallic finish.
Red Foils - There are 6 different types of red foil; 4 metallic reds, a sheen red and an iridescent red.
We have at least 2 different types of red foil in stock an any time.

Clear Foils - The clear foils are great for using on uncoated stocks and will create a similar effect to spot gloss (UV) printing, but with the added effect of being able to emboss the finish of the print into the card.
We currently have 2 clear foils, 1 gloss and 1 matt/matte foil, but there are also special effect foils with cracked effect and iridescent (rainbow) finished foils.
This is just a small selection of the colours available for using with hot foil printing, but we have many more in stock and this is changing/increasing all the time. So if you are looking for a certain type of foil please contact us and we'll do our best to find something suitable.
