| Sand texture | Very low | High | Fold, emboss |
| Canvas texture | Low | High | Fold, foil |

Family questions
Asked before ordering
Textured surfaces need higher stamping pressure and can interrupt fine foil lines. Send the artwork and we will confirm which texture grades suit the decoration.
Standard glitter film is intended for decorative and non-direct-contact use. For food-adjacent packaging a barrier or a different construction is required.
