  • For best results, we require a minimum line thickness of 1mm for areas where raised foiling is to be applied. 
  • Must be a minimum of 1mm gap between elements.
  • We need to create a separate layer for the foiling. To do so, we must have the editable or vector file to extract the gold/silver layer.
