A foil stamped box is any box, folding carton or rigid, finished with metallic foil applied to specific design elements, typically a logo, pattern, or border, using heat and pressure to bond the foil to the board. Unlike fully metallised board, foil stamping targets only the areas you choose.
Foil gives a premium, reflective detail without the cost or recyclability trade-offs of covering an entire box in metallic film. It is a common way to lift a logo or key design element, adding shine exactly where it has the most visual impact.
Foil stamping can be applied to almost any box style in our range, folding cartons, rigid boxes, or two-piece boxes, in gold, silver, rose gold, or other metallic tones.
Coated folding carton or rigid board is standard, with foil applied during a separate finishing stage after printing.
Custom foil stamped boxes are available from around 50 to 100 units, with the exact minimum depending on the base box style.
As a general guide, foil stamping typically adds £0.10 to £0.40 per unit on top of the base box price, depending on foil coverage and box style.
Because foil stamping only covers targeted areas rather than the whole box, the base board remains more recyclable than a fully metallised finish.
