What’s the difference between foil stamping, gold printing in printing
Do you know what the difference is between gold printing and gold stamping?
One of them is hot stamping, one is printing gold, although both are methods to achieve gold effect, but they are completely different in process and effect.
First look at the principle .
Foil stamping is the transfer of metallic foil to the surface of the printed material through heat pressure.
while gold printing, uses gold ink or pigment for printing.
Then look at the effect:
Foil stamping usually produces a brighter luster, giving a sense of 3D and luxury; while the luster of gold printing is relatively weak, but at a lower cost and with a wider range of applications.
In addition, foil stamping is more durable, whereas printed gold may gradually fade under the influence of friction and time.
So how do you choose?
It still depends on your project needs, budget and the design effect required.
Foil stamping is usually used to emphasize high quality and luxury, while gold printing is more suitable for some cost-conscious projects. Of course, you can also use a combination of foil stamping and gold printing to achieve the desired effect.
