You’re walking through a store and notice something flickering out of the corner of your eye. A magical, metallic wave of light flutters across a book on the shelf. You pause to stare at its elegance. It looks prestigious with a rich, shiny title practically shouting at you to pick it up and discover the treasures inside. This is the alluring power of a foil stamped book cover.
Start Designing My Foil Stamped CoverNothing grabs attention quite like the metallic shimmer of a foil stamped book cover. Foil stamping makes your book look distinguished and professional.
Recent research completed by Perception Research Services, Inc. shows that consumers perceive a foil stamped product to be more valuable and of a higher quality than the same product without foil stamping.
By emphasizing the text or images on your cover, this luxurious metallic texture conveys leadership and authority.
At 48 Hour Books, we use a hot foil pressing process to bond metallic foil to your cover.
