Family questions
Asked before ordering
Yes, but foil adhesion depends on the foil grade and stamping temperature. We recommend a trial on the actual board and foil before the production run.
Standard velvet grades hold oils from fingers. The anti-fingerprint grade uses a cross-linked top layer that reduces marking; cleaning with a dry cloth is still recommended.
