"Foiled" or stamped? - This is the question. If you are looking to give your business cards a special touch, then opt for a finish. In addition to exclusive papers, UV or relief coating, there is a further decorative enhancement to help you make a stylish appearance when passing on contact details: The business card with hot foil stamping. But what exactly is stamped, how does the foil get on the paper and at what point does it get hot?
Hot foil stamping is a finishing process whereby a metallised foil is applied to specific areas of a printed surface. This results in shiny accents that no other finishing process can match.

Hot foil stamping can be done in many colours, with the shiny metallic version certainly the most popular. At printworld.com the business card with the hot foil can be ordered in three variations.
