Recent Foil Voucher Projects

Have a look through a few recent foil voucher projects we’ve printed for shops, salons, spas, restaurants, cafés, hotels, events and everything in between.

Foil vouchers are a great choice when the voucher is being given as a gift, tucked into a card, added to a hamper, handed out as a prize, or used as part of a promotion. A bit of foil can make the value, logo, code, expiry date or message feel clearer and more special, without making the design feel overdone.

Across these examples, you’ll see all sorts of approaches, from simple gift vouchers with a small foil logo to bolder designs where the foil is used for the value, border or main message. Each one has been printed in-house using stocks and foil colours chosen to suit how the voucher will actually be used.

Our recent print gallery shows foil vouchers in real life, so you can get a better feel for what works across different styles, businesses and occasions.

Paper Stocks for Metallic Foil Vouchers

The stock you choose can make a big difference to how your foil vouchers feel when someone receives them. A voucher might be slipped into a gift card, handed over at a till, added to a treatment package, or sent out as part of a promotion, so it needs to feel sturdy enough to be worth keeping.

Smoother stocks usually give foil the sharpest, brightest finish, which works well for logos, voucher values, codes, borders and small details. Softer or more textured stocks can give the voucher a calmer, more understated look, especially if the design is simple or gift-led. For a closer look at how different materials affect foil, our guide to papers you can print metallic foil to is a useful place to start.

We offer a carefully chosen range of stocks that work well with metallic foil, including smooth coated options, thicker card weights and recycled materials. This helps us keep the foil clean and consistent, whether you’re printing gift vouchers, loyalty rewards, prize vouchers or promotional offers.

  • GF Smith Colorplan VouchersGF Smith Colorplan Vouchers
  • Colourcore VouchersColourcore Vouchers
  • Silk

    Silk is a smooth, coated stock that gives foil vouchers a clean, sharp finish. It works well for smaller details like voucher values, codes, logos, borders or fine text, as the foil applies cleanly on the flatter surface.

    The low-sheen finish keeps the voucher looking polished without making the whole design too shiny. Silk vouchers are available in five weights ranging from 250gsm to 700gsm, giving you options for simple promotional vouchers through to thicker gift vouchers.

    Best for: Gift vouchers, salon or spa vouchers, and designs with smaller foil details.

    Expert Insight: We’d usually recommend silk when the voucher needs to look neat, clear and gift-ready, especially with values, codes or fine foil detail.

    Available Weights

    • 250
    • 300
    • 350
    • 400
    • 700
  • Gloss

    Gloss is a higher-shine coated stock that makes colours look brighter and more reflective. Paired with foil, it gives vouchers a bolder finish, which works well for designs that need to catch attention quickly.

    Because both the print and foil reflect light, gloss works best when the foil is kept focused on key details like values, logos, headings or offer messages. Gloss vouchers are available in three weights ranging from 250gsm to 350gsm.

    Best for: Promotional vouchers, offer cards, and bold designs with bright backgrounds.

    Expert Insight: We’d usually recommend gloss when the voucher needs to feel bright and eye-catching, but we’d keep the foil simple so the details stay easy to read.

    Available Weights

    • 250
    • 300
    • 350
  • Uncoated

    Uncoated stock has a natural, matte surface that gives foil vouchers a softer, more understated look. Because the paper itself doesn’t really reflect light, the foil becomes the main part that catches attention.

    The subtle texture can soften very fine foil detail, so uncoated works best with simpler shapes, larger logos, bold values or clean borders rather than tiny text or intricate patterns.

    Best for: Minimal gift vouchers, café or restaurant vouchers, and simple designs with bold foil details.

    Expert Insight: We’d usually recommend uncoated when you want the voucher to feel calm and considered, but we’d keep the foil artwork simple so the finish stays clean.

    Available Weights

    • 250
    • 300
    • 350
    • 400
    • 700
  • Recycled

    Recycled stock has a natural, uncoated finish with subtle speckling, giving each voucher a slightly varied look. Paired with foil, it creates a nice contrast between the paper and the metallic detail.

    Very fine foil can appear a little softer on this stock, so recycled works best with simpler artwork, larger logos, bold values or clean borders. Recycled vouchers are available in four weights between 250gsm and 700gsm.

    If sustainability matters for your order, our guide to foil printing and recyclability is a useful place to start.

    Best for: Eco-conscious vouchers, gift vouchers, and simple designs with bold foil details.

    Expert Insight: We’d usually recommend recycled stock when you want a more natural look, with foil used for key details like logos, values or headings.

    Available Weights

    • 250
    • 300
    • 350
    • 700
  • GF Smith Colorplan

    Colorplan is a coloured uncoated stock, so the paper itself becomes part of the voucher design. It works well when you want the voucher to tie in with brand colours, seasonal offers, gift ranges or a more design-led promotion.

    Paired with foil, Colorplan creates strong contrast, especially on darker shades where metallic logos, values, borders or headings can stand out clearly. Colorplan vouchers are available in all 22 colours, in 270gsm and 540gsm.

    For more on the colour range, take a look at our guide to the expanded range of Colorplan papers by GF Smith.

    Best for: Gift vouchers, branded vouchers, and colour-led promotions.

    Expert Insight: We’d usually recommend darker Colorplan shades when you want the foil to stand out, and lighter or brighter shades when the paper colour is doing more of the design work.

    Available Weights

    • 270
    • 540
  • Colourcore

    Colour core is a triple-layered stock with white outer faces and a coloured centre, creating an extra-thick 800gsm voucher with a visible coloured edge. It’s a great choice when you want the voucher to feel more like a gift card than a simple printed offer.

    The smooth white faces give the foil a clean surface to apply to, while the coloured edge adds something extra when the voucher is held or handed over. It works best with simple layouts, where the thickness, edge colour and foil detail all have space to stand out.

    You can learn more about how the stock is made in our guide to colour core printing.

    Best for: Gift vouchers, salon or spa vouchers, and simple designs with a standout coloured edge.

    Expert Insight: We’d usually recommend Colour Core when you want the voucher to feel weighty and gift-worthy, with foil kept clean and focused.

Metallic Foil Colours for Vouchers

At The Foil Printing Co., we offer 12 metallic foil colours for vouchers, from popular finishes like gold and silver through to coloured and holographic foils.

The foil colour you choose can change how your voucher feels when someone receives it. Gold, silver, rose gold and copper are popular for gift vouchers and service-based businesses, while coloured foils can help match your branding, seasonal offers or campaign style.

Each foil catches the light differently, so it’s worth thinking about what needs to stand out most, whether that’s the voucher value, logo, code, heading or message. For a closer look at the full range, read our guide to metallic foil printing colours.

Gold metallic foil colour for vouchers

Gold Foil Vouchers

Gold is the most popular choice for vouchers, especially when they’re being sold or given as gifts. It has a strong, warm shine that immediately makes the voucher feel more valuable.


We see this used a lot for things like “£50 voucher” or business names - basically anything that needs to stand out straight away.


Best for: Gift vouchers, premium experiences, retail and hospitality.

How to Choose the Right Foil Voucher

With different paper stocks and foil colours available, it can be tricky to know which combination will work best for your vouchers. A lot depends on how the voucher will be used, whether it’s being given as a gift or part of a promotion, and which details need to stand out most.

Our team works with foil vouchers every day, so the guide below is based on the combinations we know tend to work well in real orders. Use it as a starting point for choosing a foil and stock pairing that suits your voucher, whether it’s for a salon, restaurant, shop, hotel, event, seasonal offer or customer reward.

Digital vs Traditional Foil Printing

When talking about foil printing, there are two main methods you’ll have likely come across: traditional hot foil stamping and digital foiling.

Here at The Foil Printing Co., we specialise in digital foil printing. This process applies foil to printed areas using heat and pressure, without the need for costly custom metal dies. It allows for faster setup, greater flexibility, and more efficient production across different designs and short or medium foil print runs.

Not sure whether foil is the right choice? Find out whether you should be opting for metallic ink or metallic foil in our guide to metallic ink vs metallic foil, but not before learning exactly what foil printing means in our dedicated blog.

Our Approach to Digital Foiling

Not all digital foil processes are the same. We use a flat foil method, where the base (print) design is first printed in toner, then covered with a soft-touch laminate to create a velvety, smooth, consistent surface for the foil to adhere to.

Foil elements are then printed as a second toner layer on top of the soft-touch laminate. During the foiling process, heat and pressure bond the metallic foil precisely to these areas, while the rest of the sheet remains unchanged.

Some print finishers use a raised process, adding an additional layer beneath the foil to create texture. While this can introduce depth, it can also limit how the designs are applied - particularly for fine detail or double-sided print.

Our approach is designed to prioritise accurate foil alignment, consistent coverage, and reliable results across a wide range of designs. To learn more about our approach to digital foiling, head across to our guide to how foil printing works

Which Option is Right?

For most projects, digital foiling provides the best balance of quality, cost, flexibility, and turnaround time. It allows for precise application on logos and fine detail, while also supporting multiple and double-sided foil designs without additional costly setup.

Because foil is applied by our experienced finishing team to a controlled, laminated surface, results remain consistent across different designs and quantities - particularly where alignment and clarity are paramount.

If you’re still scratching your head, our team will review your artwork at the proof stage and advise where needed.

What Makes Our Foil Vouchers Different

Foil vouchers need to look good, but they also need to be practical. They might be given as a birthday present, added to a hamper, sold at a salon reception, handed out as a prize, or used as part of a seasonal offer. That means the size, finish, foil placement and any tear-off sections all need to work properly, not just look nice on screen.

At The Foil Printing Co., we work with foil every day, so we know how to set up vouchers that feel ready to hand over, post out or sell in-store. From paper choice and foil colour through to size, shape, perforations, rounded corners and lamination, we can help you choose the setup that makes sense for how your vouchers will actually be used.

Voucher Sizes, Formats & Custom Shapes

Our foil vouchers can be printed in landscape, portrait, square or custom shapes. The most common voucher sizes are A6, DL and 74 x 210mm, but we can print them at almost any size if you need something more specific.

A smaller voucher can work well for simple offers, discount codes or loyalty rewards, while a longer DL-style format often suits gift vouchers, treatment vouchers, meal vouchers or anything that needs a little more room for terms, codes or booking details.

For something more unusual, we can also produce custom shapes. This can work well if the voucher needs to match your brand, product, event or packaging.

Single or Double-Sided Foil Vouchers

You can choose single or double-sided vouchers, depending on how much information you need to include.

Many customers use the front for the main message, value, logo or gift wording, then use the reverse for terms, expiry dates, contact details, booking information or a QR code. Foil can be added to one side or both sides, depending on the design.

If one side is printed but not foiled, or left blank, you can choose whether that side is unlaminated, soft-touch laminated, matt laminated or gloss laminated. The foiled side will always have soft-touch lamination to help the foil apply cleanly.

Black or CMYK Print

Your voucher artwork can be printed in black or full CMYK colour before the foil is applied. Black print works well for simple gift vouchers, clean layouts and text-led designs, while CMYK gives you more freedom for brand colours, backgrounds, patterns, product imagery or seasonal artwork.

Foil can then be used to highlight the parts people notice first, such as the voucher value, logo, heading, border, offer message or gift wording.

Why Soft-Touch Lamination is Needed

All foiled sides include soft-touch lamination. This gives the foil a smooth, consistent surface to apply to and helps us get a cleaner finish.

If your voucher is printed on both sides but only foiled on one, the non-foiled side can be finished separately. Some customers leave it unlaminated for a simpler finish, while others choose soft-touch, matt or gloss so both sides feel more consistent.

Perforated Vouchers & Tear-Off Sections

If your voucher includes a tear-off section, we can add up to three vertical or horizontal perforations, or custom perforation placement if your design needs something more specific.

Perforations are useful for claim slips, redemption sections, receipt stubs, prize draw entries, booking references, or any part of the voucher that needs to be removed and kept. If you’re using a perforation, it’s worth leaving clear space around the tear line so codes, values, QR codes, barcodes and expiry dates stay easy to read after the section has been removed.

Rounded Corners & Finishing

Rounded corners can be added if you want to soften the shape of your vouchers and remove sharp edges. We offer 6mm or 16mm rounded corners, or you can leave the corners square if that suits the design better.

For some designs, rounded corners give the voucher more of a gift-card feel. For others, a clean square edge works better, especially if the voucher is being inserted into envelopes, wallets or presentation sleeves.

Sequential Numbering & Data Merge

If your vouchers need unique numbers, codes or references, we can set them up using data merge. This is often used for gift voucher numbers, redemption codes, booking references, prize draw entries or tear-off claim sections.

To do this, we’ll need a spreadsheet with the details exactly as they should appear on the vouchers. For example, this might be a column of sequential voucher numbers, unique discount codes, names, values or expiry dates.

Please make sure the spreadsheet is checked carefully before sending it to us, as the data supplied will be used to create the final print files. It’s also helpful if your artwork clearly shows where each variable detail should sit, especially if the number or code needs to appear on both the main voucher and a tear-off section.

Voucher Artwork Supplied by You or Designed by Us

You can supply your own print-ready voucher artwork, or our team can design it for you from a brief.

If you already have artwork, we’ll check the setup before proofing to make sure the print artwork, foil layer, bleed, safe zones and any perforation guides are clear. If we design your voucher for you, we’ll work from your logo, wording, brand colours, offer details and any practical information that needs to be included.

Please check your proof carefully before approving it, especially voucher values, codes, expiry dates, terms, phone numbers, URLs and QR codes. Once approved, your proof is what we’ll use for print.

Fast and Reliable Delivery

Once your proof is approved, your order moves straight into production based on the turnaround times selected at checkout. Most foil orders are printed and dispatched within a few working days of proof approval.

We work with trusted delivery partners to ensure reliable shipping, with the majority of mainland UK orders arriving within 1 working day of dispatch at a cost of £7.95 + VAT. If you’re outside of mainland UK, delivery can take anywhere between 2-5 working days, with a minimum delivery charge of £12.95 + VAT. 

For more information about our turnaround times and delivery prices, head across to our dedicated delivery and return information hub.

Every Order Checked by Hand

Foil printing requires a high level of accuracy, which is why every order is checked by a member of our quality control team before dispatch.

We produce additional sheets during each run (we call them ‘overs’), allowing our team to remove any setup sheets or imperfect prints during our strict quality control process. This ensures that only the final, approved prints arrive at your door.

Proofing and Artwork Support

Before printing, you’ll receive a digital proof for approval. This is where we get your artwork ready for print, email your final proof and highlight any potential issues we spot during the pre-press stage. Our team pays special attention to bleed, safe zones, and any areas where foil may affect fine detail or small text.

Careful review at this stage is crucial and helps avoid delays, ensuring the final result matches expectations. 

To find out exactly what you should be looking for on your digital proof, read our guide to checking your foil printing proof

If There’s an Issue

If something isn’t right, contact us with your order details and a description of the issue. Our team will review this and confirm the next steps.

Where a fault is identified on our side, we will arrange a reprint as quickly as possible.

Working With You to Get it Right

Foil printing is a specialised process, and some designs may require adjustment to achieve the best result. Where this happens, we’ll always explain the issue and advise on the most effective solution.

We aim to ensure you’re happy with our entire process, from placing your order to receiving your prints.

Artwork Requirements

Setting up artwork for foil vouchers is mainly about showing us two things clearly: what you’d like printed, and what you’d like foiled. Your CMYK artwork shows the printed voucher design, while your foil layer shows exactly where the metallic finish should appear.

Once those parts are separated and your order has been placed, our team can check your file, prepare your proof, and get your vouchers moving through production.

Foil Artwork Checklist

To help us set up your foil vouchers smoothly, please supply your artwork using the following guidelines: 

✔️Add 2mm bleed around your artwork, especially if backgrounds, colours, patterns or borders run to the edge. 

✔️Set all printed artwork to CMYK.

✔️Use a minimum resolution of 300DPI for image-based artwork. 

✔️Supply files as PDF, JPG, or fully packaged AI files. 

✔️Keep important text, logos, voucher values, codes, expiry dates, terms and contact details within a 3mm safe zone from the cut edge. 

✔️Supply foil elements separately from your CMYK artwork, ideally on a separate page or artboard. 

✔️Set foil elements as 100% K black. This black layer will not print as black ink - it simply shows us where the foil should be applied. 

Setting Up Your Foil Layer

Your foil layer tells us where the metallic finish should go. For vouchers, this is often used for logos, values, headings, borders, gift messages, icons, codes or offer details.

If your voucher is single-sided, we’ll need:

  • The printed artwork

  • The foil layer for that side

If your voucher is double-sided, we’ll need:

  • Front printed artwork

  • Front foil layer

  • Back printed artwork

  • Back foil layer

If only one side of your voucher is being foiled, you only need to supply a foil layer for that side.

Perforations and Tear-Off Areas

If your voucher includes a tear-off section, please show the perforation line clearly using a 1pt magenta line on a separate layer or separate page.

Leave enough space around the perforation so important details are not too close to the tear line. This is especially important for voucher codes, expiry dates, terms, QR codes, barcodes or anything the customer needs to keep readable after the section has been torn off.

Foil Voucher Artwork Tips from Our Team

Our team checks foil voucher artwork every day, so we know the little design choices that can make a voucher easier to read, easier to use and nicer to hand over.

For the best results:

  • Use foil for the details that make the voucher feel important, such as the logo, voucher value, heading, gift message or border.

  • Keep practical details like codes, expiry dates, terms, barcodes and QR codes printed rather than foiled, so they stay clear and easy to scan.

  • If your voucher has a tear-off section, keep the code, value or claim details well away from the perforation line.

  • Avoid putting foil over areas that may need to be written on, stamped or marked in-store.

  • Keep small print simple. Voucher terms, booking instructions and redemption details are usually better as printed text, not foil.

  • Use foil as a highlight rather than covering too much of the voucher, especially if the design already includes a lot of information.

  • Make sure the main value or offer is easy to spot at a glance, whether that’s £25, 20% off, a free treatment, a meal voucher or a gift card message.

  • Keep foil, print artwork and any perforation guides clearly separated.

Before You Send Your Voucher Artwork

Before uploading your files, please check that your foil layer is separate, foil is supplied as 100% K black, important voucher details sit inside the 3mm safe zone, bleed has been added where needed, and any perforation lines are clearly marked in magenta. 

Need a Hand? 

If you’re unsure whether your artwork is set up correctly, let us know in your artwork email and a member of our team will take a look before production begins. We’ll let you know if anything needs adjusting before your proof is prepared. Before that though, why not read our guide to setting up your foil artwork

If you need help designing your foil vouchers, select the ‘Supply Brief & We Design’ option at the checkout and send us a design brief instead of finished artwork. From there, you’ll be assigned a designer to work with you to create your dream foil vouchers.

Can I have a different foil colour on the front and back of my foil voucher cards?

Absolutely! When you get to configuring your order, you’ll be given the option to select both front & rear foil if you choose double-sided foil voucher printing. So, whether you’re going for gold on the front and silver on the back, holographic on the front and pink on the back, or any other combination, we’re here to help make your foil voucher printing a spectacle.

Can I have an individually numbered tear-off stub at the end of my vouchers?

Yes, you can. By supplying a spreadsheet complete with the numbers you need to individualise your vouchers with, our team will perform a data merge, resulting in individually numbered vouchers. Our tear-off ends are seamlessly created, and we can even data merge your unique number onto the body of the vouchers as well as the tear-off, perfect for easy book-keeping.

Can I have a fully foiled voucher?

Of course you can, and while golden tickets are the most popular iteration, we offer full foil coverage on the front and rear in every metallic shade we keep in stock! From brilliant blue to rose gold, we’ve got you covered.

How long will it take for you to design my vouchers for me?

With our in-house design service, you can expect the first proof copy in your inbox in as little as 1 working day, leaving time to make any necessary changes. The sooner you place your order and get your brief across to us, the sooner you’ll have voucher silver foil in your hands.

Can I order a single copy of my vouchers before committing to a larger order?

Due to the setup time required for foil voucher cards, it is not possible for us to provide a single copy. We do however offer sample packs designed to showcase the quality of our printing, our foil shades, and our paper materials, perfect for giving you an idea of what your finished vouchers could look like. Although these sample packs do not include vouchers, they are perfect for assisting you in your decision making.

What paper type should I choose?

We offer a huge selection of curated paper options, each especially chosen for metallic foil vouchers. Without knowing your desired aesthetic, it’s hard to advise, therefore we recommend ordering a sample pack so you can see them for yourself. From classics such as silk and uncoated to eco-friendly stocks and coloured cardstocks, the options are virtually endless!

If you’re ordering foil vouchers, it’s worth thinking about how they’ll be handed over, packaged or used as part of the wider customer experience.
