Foil Artwork Guidelines

Borders

Any borders must be at least 3mm inside the edge.

Small Text

Any text of 8pt or smaller should not be bold to prevent any infilling of letters. We recommend using plain fonts such as Arial, Calibri, or Helvetica for small text as they produce the best results at small sizes.
Note: Fonts such as Times New Roman are not suitable for small text due to the very fine lines in certain characters and the serifs (pointy corners).

Shading (Tints)

We are unable to re-create shading (tints) with the foiling process as gradients and shades cannot be replicated, only monochrome images.

Lines

Lines and rules should not be finer than around 0.5pt and if finer than 1pt should be constant widths.
