What makes a good photo for foiling?
The more detail, the better. Choose a clear, well lit photo where faces are in focus and not too far from the camera. Unfiltered photos work best, because filters can smooth away the detail we need. Screenshots and photos of printed photos can lose quality, so send the original file if you can.
Will my photo work if it has a lot of white or very light areas?
Yes. We enhance light and bright photos so the foil really stands out. Have a look at some of our wedding day foils where we have foiled white dresses.
Can you foil pets, houses or other things?
Absolutely. We've foiled pets, houses, cars and, once, a couple of clocks! If you're not sure whether your photo will work, email it to us before you order.
Can you combine people from different photos or change the background?
Yes, but this would be a bespoke piece and involves an additional charge, please send us an email.
Will I see my design before it's foiled?
Yes. For portraits, handwriting prints and portrait gift vouchers, we email you a digital proof once your 48 hour cancellation window has passed. We only foil once you're happy.
What if I don't reply to my proof?
We'll follow up by email. If we still haven't heard from you, we will dispatch by day 7.
What are the "small imperfections" you mention?
Because each piece is foiled by hand, you may see tiny specks where the foil hasn't taken, however we would never send out any print that we wouldn't be proud of hanging on your wall, so if there are any imperfections you probably won't even notice them!
Do your prints come framed?
No, they're sold unframed. All our sizes fit standard shop-bought frames.
Do you deliver outside the UK?
Not at the moment. We only deliver to UK addresses right now but will resume international shipping shortly.
Can I cancel my order?
Yes, within 48 hours of ordering for a full refund. If you ticked the box to waive this, we start straight away and you won't be able to cancel once work has begun.
Can I order an extra copy?
Yes. Choose "Yes, add a second copy" when you order, or use our repeat order listing at any time. We keep your artwork on file, so a repeat order doesn't need a new proof.
