Foil blocking – the application of a silver, gold or coloured foil. This technique can help you to create much more special and unique designs than with regular inks. It can enhance the look of Business cards to Fashion catalogues and you can get creative with it.

It uses a metal die which is super-heated and then impressed onto the card or paper to leave only the etched design foiled into the card. It can be further enhanced by blind embossing to give a raised 3d effect.
