Foiling or BetterPress – What’s the Difference?

If you’re new to these techniques, the main difference is the finish they create.

BetterPress

Creates a crisp, inked impression pressed into the card

• Ideal for detailed designs and sentiments
• Produces a clean, professional finish

Hot Foil (Glimmer)

Creates a metallic foiled design using heat

• Adds shine and contrast
• Perfect for decorative elements and highlights

Which should I choose?

• Choose BetterPress for subtle, detailed designs
• Choose Hot Foil for bold, eye-catching finishes

Some plates can be used with both techniques, giving you flexibility depending on the look you want to achieve.
