How to Place an Order
To initiate your foil printing project, please email your design files and job specifications—including paper type and chosen foil color—to our customer service team at support@catprint.com. This allows us to review your files for accuracy before proceeding with printing.
File Preparation Guidelines
Proper file setup is crucial for achieving the best results with foil printing. Two separate files are required for foil printing:
Foil-Only File: Contains only the elements to be foiled, presented in solid black on a white background.
Non-Foil File: Includes all other design elements without the foil components.
For detailed instructions on preparing your files, please refer to our Foil Printing Tutorial.

This is great advice! Especially the hard-copy proof. I once rushed a project and skipped that step, and the foil placement was slightly off on the final print run. It was subtle, but still noticeable. Definitely worth the extra time! While waiting for the proof, if you need a brain break, I find playing something simple like Slope Game can actually help me focus later. Thanks for the tips!
This is super helpful! I recently did some foil business cards and the hard-copy proof really saved me. The foil looked different on screen than in real life, and I was able to tweak the design before committing to a large order. For anyone unsure about design choices, that proof is invaluable. By the way, if you're looking for quick feedback on your initial design ideas before even getting a quote, sometimes bouncing them off random people on a platform like Omegle can give you surprising insights!
The fine-tuning of color and reflection in foil printing strongly inspired the construction of the lighting system in the game Geometry Arrow, where every bright detail – from striking red to modern silver can transform the space and create strategic accents on the game screen.
I recently tried foil printing for my wedding invitations and couldn't be happier with the results! The shine and elegance really elevated the design. I’d suggest checking out a service like Monkey Mart for any print needs—they offer great customer support and timely delivery. Plus, ordering a hard-copy proof was a game changer for me; it ensured everything was perfect before the final print. Highly recommend!
The article is quite good and informative. I like it very much solar smash
