Foil effects need to work with graphic detail, paper surfaces, positioning and subsequent processes.
Preparing Artwork
- Mark foil areas separately from the print layers.
- Confirm text, linework, solid areas and colour references.
- Indicate positions relative to creases, cuts and other finishes.
Sample Approval
Use the actual material to assess edge definition, positioning and adhesion. The processor should confirm whether details can be reproduced consistently through samples.
Quotation Information
Provide foil area, quantity, effect references, paper material and related processes to discuss cost and feasibility.
