Not only is foil stamping technology unique because it gives a finished product an elusive glistening or sparkle not achievable with any ink transfer process, it’s a fast, simple, and versatile process that provides awards manufacturers another tool to create one-of-a-kind items. All you have to do is lay out the design in CorelDRAW or a similar software, and send the image to the printer, where foil and ribbon are fed over the thermal head with rollers. When using the correct foil, virtually any flat surface that is not metal or glass can be hot foil stamped. This includes paper, cardstock, cloth fabric, plastic, wood, and leather.
