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.
