| Selecting
a Foil Stamping/Embossing Supplier
Like any other vendor, a qualified stamper is
essential to successful culmination of your project. To choose the
most qualified company, keep these tips in mind:
- Meet with your stamper at the beginning of the
design project, and provide the stamper as much information about the
project as possible.
- Examine samples of the stamper's
previously produced work to make sure the stamper has expertise at the same level of intricacy and
difficulty called for in your piece.
- Encourage communication between the stamper and
the printer. Often, the stamper will be able to recommend a
printing company familiar with producing printed and stamped
work. In most cases, it's best to select the stamper before the
printer.
- Work with a foil stamper who will obtain sample
rolls of foil and sample stock for the project you have in mind.
Use these to test your dies before the print run.
