Used for hundreds of years, foil stamping can be found anywhere from traditional, high-end books to new and innovative cover designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is foil stamping?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Foil stamping is the process where hot metal foil is pressed into the cover of a book using a stamp. You might hear it called foiling, embossing, debossing, or stamping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How are books foil stamped?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Foil stamping starts with what we call the die. For our dies, we use solid copper created in the exact shape of your design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"book design foil stamp\" class=\"wp-image-1236\" width=\"400\" height=\"214\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When it\u2019s time to stamp your books, hot metal foil will be put on the die, and then the die will be pressed hard into the cover of your book. The heat and pressure make the metal foil stick to the book permanently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because we create a custom die for each book order, you can stamp anything you want on your books. You have an unlimited choice of fonts, designs, illustrations and choices. I love this because it gives each author a chance to make their book look unique. Seeing the new foil stamp designs is one of my favorite things!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes we receive a stamp design and know immediately it\u2019s not going to get great results. Because we care about the quality of your books, we\u2019ll always make sure to let you know if something looks off with the foil stamp. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you\u2019re daydreaming about your design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three tricks for excellent foil stamping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use thick lines or thin lines, but not both.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The thicker a line is on a foil stamp, the harder the stamp has to be pressed into the book. When thick and thin lines are mixed, the thinner lines are pressed so hard that they expand and obliterate the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image-2.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"foil stamp cover example\" class=\"wp-image-1239\" width=\"401\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image-2.jpg 2176w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image-2-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image-2-1024x706.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image-2-768x529.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image-2-1536x1059.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image-2-2048x1412.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image-2-1568x1081.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This foil stamp uses text and a signature, and keeps the line thickness in the same range. As a result, all of the lines are crisp, none of them are muddied, and the stamp looks refined and classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Watch out for the small stuff\u2014literally.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1241\" src=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image3-740x1024.jpg\" alt=\"a book for the ages a book making guide Gorham Printing\" class=\"wp-image-1241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image3-740x1024.jpg 740w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image3-217x300.jpg 217w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image3-768x1063.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image3-1109x1536.jpg 1109w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image3.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1243\" src=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image4-740x1024.jpg\" alt=\"a book for the ages Gorham Printing\" class=\"wp-image-1243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image4-740x1024.jpg 740w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image4-217x300.jpg 217w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image4-768x1063.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image4-1109x1536.jpg 1109w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image4.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to printing your book, small details are no problem. You can include small fonts, little lines, and all the details in the world, and your book will still look fantastic. But because foil stamping is pressed, not printed, those small details have a tendency to change from intricate designs to messy blobs. The smaller the detail, the more likely this is to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image5.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"foil stamp closeup\" class=\"wp-image-1244\" width=\"403\" height=\"282\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t have small details. This book has plenty of small lines and dots, and ends up looking fantastic\u2014it\u2019s one of my favorites from 2021 so far. The key thing here is that there\u2019s room for those lines to grow without bumping into each other. A great foil stamp design is one that has medium to large font and good spacing between details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.

These books used different approaches\u2014one an image, and one a simple title with matte black foil\u2014to create book covers that would pop out on any shelf. The foil stamp for your cover can be anything you want, but the best foil stamps are designed with simplicity in mind. This lets the cover design shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Designing for Foil Stamping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do have a complex design, or your design absolutely needs multiple colors and intricate detailing, don\u2019t give up hope. A printed hardcover with 3D Spot UV is a great alternative when a foil stamping design doesn\u2019t fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the thing that sets great foil stamping designs apart is that they\u2019ve clearly been created with foil stamping in mind. When an author is writing a book, they\u2019re spending a lot of time in the digital world, worrying about commas, plot points, sentence structure, and how to get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-ww\/microsoft-365\/word\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Word<\/a> to mirror their margins. When it\u2019s time to print the book, some authors make the mistake of staying in that digital world. But a book is more than the files you send in; it\u2019s a physical object, and things like fabric choice, paper stocks, and line size play a big part in how the final books feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image8.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"foil stamp book examples\" class=\"wp-image-1249\" width=\"402\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image8.jpg 2059w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image8-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image8-1024x597.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image8-768x448.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image8-1536x895.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image8-2048x1194.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/buy-the-book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image8-1568x914.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 402px) 100vw, 402px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend taking some time to peruse a couple books at your local bookstore.
