How do I set up my artwork for Hot Foil Press?

All artwork should be supplied in PDF format.

If we are foiling and digitally printing (or foil + letterpress, foil + embossing) your artwork we will need three files:

1. With the artwork to be digitally printing only.
2. With just the artwork to be foiled.
3. With how your artwork should look once printed and foiled.

If we are only foiling, we just need one PDF of the artwork.

Artwork for plates must be created in vector, not image based (bitmap). This means that artwork needs to be created in Illustrator or InDesign or another program that creates vector based output files. If you're designing in Canva, you'll need to choose vector line images and make sure your PDF is shared as a high quality PDF.

Artwork to be foiled must be 100% black CMYK (0/0/0/100).
