FAQs
- What is the difference between Foil Worx and raised foil postcards?
Foil Worx has a flat finish foil whereas raised foil has a raised foil finish, such that if you run your fingers over the card you will feel the foil. The height of the foil is approximately 60 microns.
- What is a foil mask file?The mask file is a black (100%) and white file used to tell production where the foil and spot UV will go.
- Can I have any printing under the foil mask?We highly recommend having a solid color behind the foil mask. We do not recommend having any artwork or text under the foil mask since it might be visible through the foil mask. Knockouts are not recommended since there may be a shift (up to 1/16”) when the foil is applied.
- What foil colors are available?Black, blue, copper, gold, red, rose gold, and silver.
- How do I set up a Foil Worx job?
- You must provide a separate foil mask file: black in the areas you want the foil and white in the areas you do not want the foil.
- We can only use one type of foil per order so for example you can not order a Foil Worx job with gold foil on the front and silver foil on the back. All black areas should be solid 100% K with no other added colors. If you order a Foil Worx job with spot UV, you'll need to provide separate mask files for the foil (foil mask) and UV (spot UV mask), in which case you may be required to provide up to 6 files.
- Please keep in mind that the foil and UV coating can't overlap, both should be at least 1/16" apart to avoid the foil peeling off.
- Avoid using small/fine text or lines for foil objects. For best results, please make sure that foil coverage is less than 50% of the entire print side.
- Be aware that there may be up to a 1/16" shift in the placement of the foil. Keep this in mind if you are trying to align foil with other printed artwork on the card.
- For better quality, we recommend creating mask files in vector-based programs such as Illustrator or CorelDRAW.
