The Foil Printing Co. Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer worldwide shipping?

At The Foil Printing Co., we’re proud to ship UK & USA-wide on dedicated Parcelforce & UPS delivery services. If you are located outside of the UK or USA and would like to place an order with us, please feel free to contact our team and we’ll be more than happy to discuss a bespoke quote. Please be aware that a minimum order value may apply if you are located outside of the UK or USA.

How long will I have to wait for my order?

Because no two orders are the same, the best way to figure out approximately how long your order will take to reach you is to go by the estimates provided on each product page. Here, you’ll be provided with an approximate timescale for dispatch, which is triggered from the day you approve your proof. Ultimately, the quicker you approve your proof, whether you’re supplying your own artwork or working with our design team, the quicker your order will make its way into production. Please note that our dispatch estimate refers to the date on which we will dispatch your order, not the date in which we expect you to receive it. If you would like to discuss whether or not your deadline date is feasible, please contact our team.

Where are you located?

We are located in the heart of England (West Yorkshire, to be precise), however we dispatch to all corners of the USA on a speedy UPS delivery service.

What foil colours do you offer?

At The Foil Printing Co., we’re proud to offer more foil colors than the majority of our competitors. Alongside metallic classics and customer favorites such as metallic gold & silver, we also offer a range of rarer shades such as copper bronze, holographic, and black chrome, as well as pink, blue, green, and more!

Do I have to choose from pre-made designs?

Absolutely not! At The Foil Printing Co., we offer 2 different design options, which is what really sets us apart from other foil printing experts. When you order with us, you’ll be given the option to either supply your own print-ready design for print or team up with our in-house designers to create a bespoke design for whichever product you choose to print!

How do I supply my artwork?

Supplying your artwork is simple – as soon as you’ve placed your order, you will receive an email confirmation prompting you to respond with your print-ready artwork. Simply attach your artwork to a responding email, hit send, and await your print proof!

Can you do the design work for me?

Absolutely! At The Foil Printing Co., we have a whole team of in-house design masterminds ready to put together a bespoke design for your order. Whether you need foil business cards, metallic greeting cards, or something else entirely, simply hit the ‘Supply Brief & We Design’ option prior to checkout and send us your design brief. From there, you’ll be assigned one of our awesome designers who will work with you to bring your vision to life.

How do I set up my artwork for print?

Setting up artwork for foil printing can be a little confusing if you’ve never done it before, which is why we’ve created a handy guide to setting up your artwork for foil printing. What’s more, you’ll find pre-made design templates on each product page set up to help you put together your artwork as easily as possible.

Why should I choose The Foil Printing Co.?

Well, we think there’s a whole host of reasons why you should choose us over our competitors, but we’ll just mention the most awesome bits. At The Foil Printing Co., we’ve spent years testing state-of-the-art foiling processes and materials to ensure we provide you with the best possible foil printing service, and we’re positive that we do. What’s more, we offer more foil colors, more paper types, and more customization options than you’re likely to find elsewhere, and that’s not even mentioning our renowned Yorkshire service standards!

What paper do you use?

Whatever paper you like! At The Foil Printing Co., we offer a whole catalog of tried-and-tested paper types curated especially for each individual product. Why not browse our paper types or order a sample pack to see them for yourself?

What is the largest size foil print I can order?

We can apply our seamless digital foil to any product with a surface size of up to 297x420mm (11.6x16.5”).

Why does everything require laminate?

Put simply, to achieve the clean, crisp, and sparkling finish you’re looking for, we need the smoothest surface possible. Paper textures vary from batch to batch so our soft-touch laminate provides a consistently smooth, silky-soft texture that feels as good as it looks. It’s also essential for separating the printed and metallic layers so that only the parts you want foiled end up foiled, while also adding an additional layer of durability to your product.

Can I see your foil before I buy?

Absolutely! We now offer a metallic foil sample pack crafted to show our entire foil and paper catalog, so why not try before you buy?
