What can't we do?!
Take a look at some of our most recent foiling print jobs we have completed for customers, anything from Business Cards to Signage to Wedding Stationery. While business products are where foil is becoming more popular, wedding stationery still holds a special place in its popularity. There’s simply no better way to capture the magic of a wedding day than with invitations that that are so effortlessly unique and pretty. Couples often choose gold or rose-gold foil for their invitations, RSVP cards, and booklets to set the tone for a glamorous event. Your guests will immediately sense that the day will be something extraordinary. We’ve also noticed more people opting for holographic foil for modern, playful designs that photograph beautifully - a must for today’s social-media-savvy couples. For Instant-Print, it’s always exciting to see how creative people get with foil, and weddings remain one of the most creative spaces for this exact type of design.
Let's talk business!
For businesses, the use of foil is never ending. For example, business cards, these small but mighty marketing tools have always been about making a strong first impression, and adding foil takes them to another level. A foiled logo, shimmering tagline, or even a metallic pattern immediately sets your card apart from the stack. It doesn’t just look good; it feels different in the hand, with a raised texture that people notice. That moment of pause, that spark of recognition, is what makes foil business cards such a smart investment for professionals who want to be remembered. Many of our customers have shared how their foiled cards started conversations, generated compliments, and even helped them win over new clients.
The same principle applies on a larger scale with products like foamex boards and pop-up banners. Trade shows, exhibitions, and in-store promotions are competitive environments, and brands need every tool they can get to draw attention. A Foamex Board or banner with foil accents will instantly catch the light and the eye of people passing by. Among rows of displays, it’s the one that shines bright that gets peoples attention. Businesses that use foil in this way aren’t just making signs; they’re creating focal points that invite people to look closer. And in marketing, that kind of stopping power is invaluable.

Is foiling just a trend?
Foil is not just a trend - it is quickly becoming a staple in modern printing. Its metallic shine instantly adds a touch of luxury and sophistication, making business cards, signage, booklets, and wedding invitations feel more premium and memorable. What used to be a finish reserved for high-end brands is now accessible to everyone, thanks to advances in digital foiling that allow for faster turnaround, smaller runs, and stunning results without the high cost.
This versatility is what sets foil apart. Businesses use it to make their branding stand out in crowded markets, while couples rely on it to create wedding stationery that guests can’t help but admire and keep as a memory. It’s a finish that doesn’t just look good - it leaves a lasting impression. Whether for work or life’s special moments, foil is proving it’s more than a fad; it’s a print essential that adds impact wherever it’s used.
The do's and the don'ts
When it comes to foil printing, a little goes a long way. Do use foil to highlight key elements like logos, headings, or decorative accents - this is where it really shines and draws attention. Do choose fonts that are bold enough to hold the foil clearly, and pair foil with contrasting backgrounds for maximum impact. Do experiment with different foil colours to match your branding or the mood of your project, from classic gold and silver to playful holographic finishes.
On the flip side, there are a few things to avoid . Don’t overuse foil across your design, as too much can make it look cluttered and lose its premium effect. Don’t use very thin fonts or tiny text for foiling - the detail can get lost. Don’t place foil too close to edges or folds, as it can lift or misalign. Following these simple tips ensures your foil print always looks professional, eye-catching, and memorable.
