Hot Stamping Area

Infos & TipsWe offer two different hot stamping areas.
How do I choose between these two different options?When choosing hot stamping for your business cards, you have two distinct options to consider: stamping within margins and near-edge hot stamping. Stamping within margins ensures a clean and precise placement of the foil design within the designated safe area of the card, maintaining a balanced and professional appearance. On the other hand, near-edge hot stamping allows the foil design to extend closer to the edges of the card, creating a more dynamic and impactful visual effect that draws attention to your brand. Depending on your preference for layout and design, both options offer unique advantages to enhance the overall look and feel of your business cards.
