Hi, everyone! We’re back with yet another super interesting and useful blog of ours and we are sure that you will have a great time reading and making the most of it. We cannot wait to formally begin talking about which foil printing is considered to be the best for packaging but before we do that, we would like to take a moment to thank you all for the love and support that you send our way and for also making sure that your friends, family and favorite colleagues are reading our blogs. And we would love to see more of that happening in the future as well.
If you guys are our regular readers, then you must have read our blogs that focus on packaging and how to make it more effective, regardless of how big or small, old or new your business is. And we are sure that you guys were also able to make the most of everything that we shared in those blogs. However, we often see businesses struggle with one thing and that is: choosing the best foil printing. For example; the stakeholders cannot decide if gold foil is better or silver. So, we decided that it would be a good idea to help you make informed decisions. Make sure that you read the blog till the end!
Let’s get to know and understand the process of foil printing so that you guys can ensure that you are on the right track from the very beginning. Foil printing is a technique that utilizes a film of metallic layer of thin foil to stamp or emboss on a material which can be paper, plastic, wood and any other material on which the foil printing can be done. If you are going for foil printing, you must know that you have already chosen the premium path. However, it is important to understand what you can achieve through each color of the foil printing.
Before we start sharing which foil printing is best for packaging, we want you guys to also know that there are certain dos and don’ts that you need to keep in mind while going for this premium printing, stamping or embossing technique. For starters, you guys should not overcrowd the design space with too many words or sentences, for that matter. Keep it as minimal as you can and you will be able to ensure that your message has been delivered effectively.
In addition, you should also be ready to experiment before you finalize your products. It is always a good idea to get some samples printed before you go ahead with the bulk orders. You can have the samples distributed among your team members or within a focus group that can share their feedback with you. After conducting tests and then some, you can incorporate the changes, if need be and then go ahead with a revised and improved version of your designs and we are sure that you won’t regret doing that kind of exercise.
No matter which foil printing you are going to go for after reading this blog, you have to ensure that you select the best kind of paper and any other materials that you are going to get printed. Never (and we cannot stress this enough!) compromise on the quality of the material, especially when you are going for a premium printing technique. Also, make sure that anything and everything that you approve is highly readable so that you do not have to make changes after the printing has been done. Remember, there’s time, a lot of effort and money involved!
Having said that, we would now like to talk about how you guys can decide which foil printing is best for you!
