What is Foil:

Foiling is the process of adding a metallic foil to paper to create a bright and vibrant finished piece. These matte soft gold foil fusing rolls are perfect for DIY'ing your own wedding invitations, creating business cards that will really set you apart, making prints to frame and hang on the wall, and so much more. They are priced affordably compared to other brands, making them the premier choice for print production facilities and re-sellers such as print and copy shops. These professional quality thermal reactive foils feature a toner adhesive on the back that will stick to the dry toners used in most copiers and some laser printers. These matte toner foils offer a solid and opaque finish that completely covers your ink when heat is properly applied. Foiling is a great way to create wedding invitations, award certificates, craft projects, business cards, letter head and anything else that could benefit from soft metallic color accents.

What Machines can Foil:

Simple to use, just print your design using any dry toner printer or copier while noting that they will not work with wax-based inks. Then place the matte colored foil over the part of the design you want foiled, and run it through your heat source. Peel off the foil to reveal that it stuck to the printed design only, creating a gorgeous foiled print. Use them to make pretty quotes to frame in your office or kid's room, or use them for wedding invitations or birthday cards, or use them to make stand-out business cards and letter head; whatever your desire, you can achieve a brilliant look with these soft matte foils. You can use a foil fusing machine to apply consistent heat (to activate the adhesive) and pressure (to ensure a clean and consistent application). Other heat machines, such as pouch laminators, may work as well, however, may require more heat testing and adjusting to get a perfect finished print. Here are some important considerations for various methods of foil fusing:

How to Foil

¹ The adhesive on the back of these foil rolls sticks to dry toner only; it will not work with wax based inks from laser printers.
² Compatible pouch laminators require certain features; they must be able to reach at least 300°F, have adjustable speed and temperature settings, be the proper width for your machine. If using a roll laminator, the machine must also have a film rewind feature and a matching core size. Other variables may factor into compatibility.
