When to choose full color

Deciding factor: If "color or the photo itself" is the main feature, full color is recommended.
Make logos and names impressive with the shine and texture of foil.
Unique Appeal
Gold, silver, and other foils catch the light and shine, creating a three-dimensional presence different from photo printing. The simpler the design with focused information, the more the logo or name leaves a strong impression.
Preferred Expressions
Band logos and artist names
Signatures and short messages
Metallic shine such as gold and silver
Designs that highlight the color of the pick itself
Simple and powerful single-color expression
When to Choose Foil Stamping
When you want to create an authentic signature model, add a sense of luxury to commemorative items or gifts, make the logo stand out symbolically, or incorporate the original color and texture of the pick as part of the design.
Deciding factor: If "the logo, name, and foil shine" are the main focus, foil stamping is recommended.
