Silver Foil Printing for Artists
At Aura Print, we’ve been exploring the world of foil printing for a long time now, so much so that we’d go so far as to say that we’ve perfected the art. Having supplied silver foil print to customers all over the world, from renowned artists to Etsy superstars and beyond, we’re proud to see our foil printing traveling way beyond our UK print shop and making waves in the art industry.
When it comes to starting your foil printing journey, you’ll need to first decide which works you’d like to add a splash of dazzling silver to, and then choose your canvas. With a huge range of specially selected paper stocks, including materials curated with artists in mind, we recommend ordering one of our jam-packed sample packs before choosing the paper that best suits your aesthetic. Once you’ve decided, we’ll add an ultra-thin, silky-smooth laminate to your print order, adding durability and shine to your metallic silver art prints.
Need to split your order across multiple designs? We can do that, too. By selecting your order quantity and the number of designs you would like to split the quantity across, your entire art collection will arrive at the same time. What’s more? Our meticulous quality control team will hand-check your silver art prints before it leaves our foiling floor, reducing the chance of any unexpected flaws.
