Step 1: Decide What Metallic Foil Printed Product You Want

The entire ordering process for purchasing your metallic foil print online has been meticulously thought through to make it user-friendly.

Step 3: Don’t Forget The Design

We don’t expect all our customers to be designers; actually, people who design their artwork are a smaller majority. We do, however, need you to choose if you’d like to supply your artwork (perhaps you have a friend who can do this for you) or want us to design you something from scratch. As we print everything in-house, we need files that are ready for print so we can save time and pass those savings on to you. If you choose for us to design your artwork, you’ll be asked to provide a design brief. If you’d like to supply your own, here's our guide on how to set up your foil artwork.

Step 4: Once You’re Happy, Add It To Basket And Checkout

Once you’ve finalized your metallic foil printing options and artwork, the next thing to do is add your product to basket and checkout. If you’ve not shopped with us before, at this point you’ll be prompted to supply us all your details and create an account. The account lets you keep track of your orders. You can then securely pay through PayPal checkout. We don’t hold any of your payment details as PayPal does this for us.

Now It's Time for 'thefoilprintingco' Magic To Begin!

You've done all that you need to do with regard to our online ordering system. The next few steps will outline the process that happens once you have completed the checkout. This might be your first time ordering from a professional printer, it may not, but rest assured you're in good hands. Now let's continue with the next 4 steps to getting your perfect prints. 

Step 5: Send Us Your Files Or Brief

Once you place your order, you’ll receive an order confirmation email from us. This will confirm what you’ve bought, so it’s always good to give it a check over. If there are any mistakes, give us a message, and we can rectify it.

To supply us your artwork or design brief, all you need to do is reply to your order confirmation email with them as an attachment.

If the files are too big, you can always upload them and provide us with a URL to download the files.

Step 6: Wait For A Proof

Printing with metallic foil is a detailed process, so we always proof your files and ask for the final go ahead. Checking the proof and its spellings is your responsibility, so take your time. Your artwork will be sent to print once you give confirmation. Unfortunately, after your approval, we can't make any more changes. If you paid for design and wanted to make changes, then reply to our designers with your thoughts. Sometimes it's not advisable to print in the configuration that you wish. In these cases, our designers will be in touch to work out what we can do and work with you, so you’re happy.

Step 7: Get Excited About Your Print

All you have to do now is wait for your quality print to arrive; we think this is the hardest part. It usually takes around five days to print, then a further one to three days for delivery once your artwork is approved. When we post out your foil print, you’ll get an email with the tracking details on so you can get an idea when it will be arriving.

Step 8: Unbox And Enjoy

All that’s left to do is unbox and enjoy your amazing foiled print; this step is the most exciting.
