Separate foil artwork
Provide the foil artwork area separately from the other print content.
Detail size, folds and surface
Review fine detail, coverage and position against the chosen surface and folds.
Foil placement and sample approval
Approve the visual effect and placement on the intended material; not every design transfers unchanged between papers.
Project details to send
Identify the actual product, intended use and any existing pack or specification.
List quantities by version and the delivery destination. Record which choices still need a recommendation.
Standard MOQ: 500 pieces per style, size and artwork design. Special specifications and combined orders are assessed individually. Material and performance requirements are confirmed for the specific application.

Packaging Printing
Plan artwork and printing around the selected packaging material and construction.
Approved reference and design changes
Identify the product, material and file version. Record the chosen option, compatibility limits and the proof or sample needed; an example on another pack does not establish suitability.
Keep the approved reference with the order. Changes to design, dimensions, material or effect may require revised files, samples or pricing. Compare sample types.
Scope, fees and scheduling
Foil area, detail, registration, surface compatibility and tooling requirements affect the proposed process.
Give quantities by product and artwork version, plus any deadline. The quotation confirms fees, tooling, samples, revisions and timing; free services and rush delivery are not standard commitments. Prepare the project details.
Separate the foil artwork from the printed artwork
Mark the intended foil area, desired foil appearance and its position relative to print, folds and edges. Fine detail must be reviewed for the actual substrate and process.
Approval record: Foil placement and sample approval
Inspect coverage and alignment on a physical sample. Approve the selected foil and substrate together instead of using a digital metallic effect as the production reference.
