Hot Foiling Services for Events and Brand Activations
Hot foiling artist based in Modesto and serving the Central Valley, Lodi, the San Francisco Bay Area, Napa, Sonoma, and destination events.
Hot foiling isn't printing and it isn't stamping. It's heat and pressure applied to a custom die, pressing metallic or pigmented foil directly into the surface of leather, paper, or other compatible materials until it becomes part of the piece.
It's the finish that takes a corporate gift from forgettable to framed. A wedding favor from nice to kept. A brand mailer from received to photographed.
