Answer: Foiling!In traditional foil stamping, the foil itself consists of a smooth surface. With NanoEmbossing, a microscopic pattern is added to your stamping die, ultimately distorting the foil with additional, intricate details. This means you can combine matte and shiny areas or add a logo to just a part of your foil area – you can even NanoEmboss images!.
