Falling for Foil.

Marketing . • Aug 16, 2019
In this climate of emails, newsletters, social media and just about anything digital it can be hard to be spotted amongst the crowd. Your demand for attention need not come down to gifs or any other song and dance, print is back in the spotlight. Printed materials of high quality; something that is tangible, can bring joy through colour and texture and they are more valuable than ever. 

At Love & Humphries we like to specialise in the bespoke. A surefire method of adding personality and value to your design is through foiling. Not only does foiling give your finished product an element of luxury; it’s memorable. There’s a habitual glimmer of the eye when we run our hands over something with varying textures, and we can’t help but feel that spark of joy when the light catches it and we play with the reflections.

This elevation to your product can add worth to your business card, it can provide that special-event sparkle to your wedding invitations or it can bring entertainment for the wee ones getting their hands on that illustrated book.

Love & Humphries use only the finest materials from Foilco, and can help to completely customise your design. If you would like the opportunity to see what we’re talking about, our friends at Foilco are hosting workshops at the Graphic Design Festival Scotland this year and we would very much encourage you to go along and get creative!
