| Foil layer | All foil areas in solid black. No gradients, halftones, or transparency in the foil layer. |
| Min stroke weight | 0.5pt for lines; very fine detail may not foil cleanly — we'll advise |
| Min text size | 7pt minimum for reversed-out (knockout) type; 5pt for positive type |
| Bleed | 3mm on all sides |
| Foil options | Gold, Silver, Copper, Holographic, Matte Gold, Matte Silver, and more — ask us for the current foil range |

| Combined finishes | Foil can be combined with letterpress impression or riso on the same sheet — sequential passes |
Solid foil fills on large areas can cause slight wrinkling on lighter stocks. We recommend 300gsm+ for large solid foil applications.
All prices in NZD, excluding GST. Die-making is a one-time cost — re-runs using the same die are significantly cheaper.
