What are gold foil labels?
The gold foil will be printed onto our highly-transparent material. You can choose the placement of the foil depending on your design.
If you'd like to print on white, please visit our mirror gold labels page. We use white ink on the gold material to achieve that effect.
Foiled labels are resistant to water, chemicals, scratches, and fading in sunlight.
A laminate over the printed layer makes these labels suitable for long-term use.
Gold foil labels get cut digitally in any shape around your design.
You can choose any size from 0.8"–27.5" wide for your labels.
All foil labels are finished with a clear gloss over-laminate that protects the printed layer and keeps your labels looking shiny.
Foil labels are not created with ink but with metallic foils. This means your design can only have one color, namely the color of your chosen foil.
The product images show you some great examples.

Product reviews
Gold foil labels with a real metallic finish
Gold foil labels give candles, cosmetics, coffee and specialty drinks a premium finish that ink alone can't match. The gold is a real metallic foil, applied to our highly transparent material, so your design looks like it was stamped straight onto the product.
How foil labels work
Foil isn't ink. Your design is printed in a single color – the gold of the foil – and everything else stays clear. That makes foil perfect for logos, line art, monograms and short text. You choose exactly where the foil goes.
Want gold with a solid white background instead of clear? Try mirror gold labels, where we print white ink on gold material. For a cooler tone, there are silver foil labels too.
Made to last
Every foil label is finished with a clear gloss over-laminate. It keeps the foil shiny and makes the labels resistant to water, chemicals, scratches and fading in sunlight, so they hold up on products that get handled every day.
Any shape, supplied on sheets
We cut gold foil labels digitally around your design, in any size from 0.8" to 27.5" wide. They arrive on sheets for quick peeling and applying.
Design tips
Bold shapes and clean lines shine brightest in foil. Very fine hairlines and tiny text can lose definition, so keep details simple and check your free digital proof before we print.
FAQs
Can gold foil labels have more than one color?
No. Foil labels use a single metallic foil instead of ink, so the design is one color – gold – on a clear background. For full-color designs with a gold effect, choose mirror gold labels.
