    Hot Foil Plates

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a novice in this area
    I'm helping a friend out with invites and doing this as a gift as I mainly do wedding stationery but only really use digital foil.

    She is looking for hot foil press and this is a new area to me, I have the machines but only with assembley letters and never a full design plate.

    I'm trying to find some UK suppliers who can either create the plate (a6 design) or if there is some other way to create this.
    I remember in art school these were created using UV machines but never looked into it further

    Metallic Elephant
    They specialize in making high-quality brass or magnesium dies for hot foil stamping. You can send them your design, and they will create a durable custom plate that can be used with your hot foil machine.

    As mentioned previously, there's Metallic Elephant.

    I can also personally recommend Profoil (they supply foil too) and Centurion Graphics.

    Generally they will need the plate (foil) artwork as follows:
    - Black design on white background AT EXACT SIZE required.- Foil elements only.
    - CMYK colour mode with all colour values at 0 except black - C0% M0% Y0% K100%
    - Vector-based PDF - raster (pixel-based) artwork doesn't play nicely and will generally be refused.
