Getting It Right

At Vytal Digital, we believe in speed, convenience while not compromising on quality and efficiency.

We introduced finishes like soft-touch, honeycomb, foils (gold, silver, wavy blue & red, leather, etc.) to our clients, and they love it. The question we usually get is, “How do I get the foil done on specific places of my design?” The answer is the purpose of this post.

If you are a graphic designer, then this should be easy. If you are not, it should not be too difficult either. 

•  When you finish designing your artwork;

1. Isolate the text/objects you want to add as a finish only, and ‘paste in place’ on a new canvas/artboard/page of the same size and resolution.
2. Change the isolated images for foiling to black only. Make sure to remove the isolated images from the non-foil design.
3. Export your artwork to PDF, ensuring your foil image is on the last page.

NB:

• If your artwork is multiple designs arranged on, for instance, an A3 page, please ensure your foil designs are placed accordingly.
• You do not need to repeat foil pages if it is the same for probably ten (10) other pages.
