How to Choose the Right Die for Foil Stamping
The right die depends on the material you are stamping, how many impressions you expect to run, how much detail is in the design, and what look you want in the final result.
Magnesium dies
Magnesium is often the practical, economical choice for many standard foil stamping jobs. It can help lower cost and shorten turnaround on suitable applications.
Copper dies
Copper tends to make more sense when impression counts get higher or the application is harder on the die. Many long-run jobs move toward copper for durability.
Brass dies
Brass can be appropriate for certain higher-end or long-run jobs where added durability or detail is important.
Before ordering
It helps to share your artwork, substrate, impression size, and estimated run length. Those details make it easier to choose the right die material from the start.
