MYTH > Foil stamping is expensive.
 
REALITY > If you can grow market share, your new profits far exceed the cost of foil stamping.
 
Costs for foil stamping are highest when the graphics finisher is not included in the original print specifications. To avoid rising costs, involve D.E. Baugh in the beginning stages of a project when changes can be made to increase efficiency thereby keeping costs down.

MYTH > Printing principles apply to graphic finishing.
 
REALITY > The same guidelines with printing also apply to graphic finishing.
 
Printing and foil stamping are two completely different processes with their own unique guidelines. An understanding of printing specifications does not translate into an understanding of graphic finishing. Aptly named, printing and graphic finishing refers to any process applied once any printing has finished.

MYTH > Graphic finishing is an option only on small-run projects.
 
REALITY > There is no job too small or too large for a facility that has ample capacity.
 
Graphic finishing has covered tens of millions of sample credit cards mailed to as many households in the U.S. Efficient, premium quality finishing equipment can run around the clock for uninterrupted service and high volume output.
