Artwork Preparation FAQ's

What is Foil Mask File?

When you order your printed product with special finishes such as foil stamping or raised foil, please prepare, and submit an extra artwork mask file for Foil finish representation along with your CMYK artwork. This extra artwork file is called Foil Mask File.

Preparing Mask file:Ā Create a black and white pdf file with black color values of K = 100% (C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100). Black areas represent where you want the foil or raised foil finish to be applied and white means no finish will be applied.

What is a Bleed, Cut, and Safety line ?

Bleed Area:Ā It is important to know if the artwork that you have designed is supposed to be full bleed or not. If it is supposed to be full bleed, the background/artwork which is close enough to cut-line should extend 0.0625ā€ from all sides beyond the cut line to make the artwork a full bleed.

Cut Line:Ā This line determines the size of your finished product; this is where your artwork will be cut. So, make sure all-important elements such as text, logo and images are not close to this line.

Safety Line:Ā Safety line alerts the designer that All Text, Logo, and important info must be kept inside this line. Info inside the safety line will print correctly and be visible on the final product.

Note: Printer has a 1/16th of an inch shift tolerance that can occur from top, bottom, left to right. Hence, please account for 1/6th of an inch tolerance while designing your artwork.

How to design artwork for Foil Printing?
  • Always use solid color behind the Foil application. We do not recommend having any artwork or text under the foil mask since it might be visible through the foil mask.
  • Foil Coverage should be no more than 30% of the artwork, otherwise the foil will be wavy and will not look good. The only time a 50% coverage is acceptable is with patterns, thin strokes, or small shapes. Ideally, the size of the area, shape or image covered with raised foil should not exceed 1in x 1in.
  • We do not recommend having fonts smaller than 10pt on the Raised Foil Artwork. However, if you use fonts with thicker strokes or bold fonts, we do not recommend having fonts smaller than 12pt.
What print-ready file formats are accepted for uploads?

The file formats are acceptable for uploads are TIF, .TIFF, .EPS, .AI, .PSD, .JPG, .JPEG, .PNG, .PDF. We mostly recommend .pdf files.

For best quality print results, it is advisable that your files are designed in a Vector Based application such as Illustrator or Corel Draw and resolution of all images, logo is at least 300 dpi.

Enhance Marketing With Foil Postcards

Foil postcard printing is very beneficial when it comes to sending out exclusive marketing material to clients, which is impressive and attractive. The metallic glitter adds prestige to your strengths and allows you to print a cost-effective, successful marketing tool.

Reasons to print Foil Postcards:

  • As these are affordable, it is a small investment to reach a large number of prospects through Direct Mail Marketing
  • It is also a versatile product for sending marketing messages, mini newsletters, official announcements, upcoming sales and events.

Custom Foil Postcards can be an important element that differentiates you from generic promotional material. The shiny and irresistible looking surface of the paper is not just unique, but also adds a premium and sophisticated look to your Gold Foil Postcards. Apart from Gold Foil, the other colors are Black Foil, Blue Foil, Copper Foil, Red Foil, Rose Gold Foil, and Silver Foil giving you options to customize the way you like it. The metallic printing process is simple and entails a layer of metallic or foil ink to be applied before the design is printed in CMYK colors on the paper, resulting in a vibrant and shimmery finish. If you are looking for metallic foil or CMYK foil or full-color foil or foils with gradients, check our Akuafoil Postcards.

Understanding Foil Stamping:

Foil stamping goes back to the olden days where skilled artists and molten gold were used to create those books. Post the book sizing, golden leaf were manually laid on the cover and then was placed in a hot-stamping press to get the desired stamp.

The way foil printing is done is simply amazing. A thin foil strip either gold or whatever color you choose is threaded to a foil press machine. A blank card (business card, greeting card, or invitation card) is kept under the foil. The heat and pressure are applied which leaves an impression on the paper and voila! A perfect shiny paper is ready! Nowadays, these embossings are even done digitally by placing the paper first with the text or image you desired to be foiled.
