Live Heat Foiling for Events in Los Angeles

WHAT IS HEAT FOILING?

Heat foiling or hot foiling, also known as debossing, is an on-site personalization technique where metallic foil is applied using heat and pressure. The result is a crisp and elevated finish.

Which items can be hot  foiled?

Heat foiling works best on smooth surfaces that can withstand heat such as (faux) leathers and wood. Most popular items for personalization with debossing include:

  • Leather and vegan leather goods

  • Luggage tags and travel accessories

  • Notebooks, journals and stationery items

  • Select fabric

Heat Foiling creates a wow effect - as the foil is removed, the debossed writing underneath is revealed in shimmery metallic

Questions?

  • Hot foiling is a medium paced personalization method. How many items I can personalize per hour varies depending on the designs, the event flow and the amount of guest interaction, but generally I can complete about 20 items per hour.

  • For heat foiling, I only need a table and a chair, or a countertop and a bar stool. No power outlet is needed as my tools are cordless. I usually leave the table design up to the brand and event planner, but I can bring a small tabletop sign with me that explains the activation, if preferred. I can also provide forms for guests to fill in their names and design choice.

  • Yes! Every live event setup is planned with guest flow in mind. This includes personalization options and recommendations on the number of artists needed based on guest count and event duration. If your event’s volume requires additional artists, I will curate a team and handle the booking process for you.
