Adding Shine to your Vinyl Design
Foil printing on fabric is a process in which a metallic foil is applied to a piece of fabric using heat, pressure, and a printing template. The foil is typically applied using a specialized printing press or heat press, and the process can be done on a variety of different fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and nylon. The end result is a shiny, metallic image or design that stands out on the fabric.
Foil printing on fabric is often used for clothing and fashion items, like t-shirts, hoodies, and jackets, as well as home decor items like curtains, cushions and blankets. It can also be used for events or promotions such as sporting events, festivals or trade shows as well. Foil printing on fabric can offer a higher end look and enhance the look of the design or logo.
Foil Printing Design Examples
What is Foil Printing?
Foil printing is a two-step process that allows us to print your design with a shiny metallic finish. First, we screen print the shape of your design using adhesive ink. We then apply the foil over the top of the adhesive, heat it to 300 degrees, and remove the excess leaving only the shape of your design on the t-shirt. Foil printing is a great solution for designs that require a shiny, reflective look or just for something a little different on your upcoming order.
Vinyl foil will give your garment a nice shine. It is most commonly ordered for special events such as weddings and bachelorette parties. If you really want to stand out and make your design extra special, talk to a Product Specialist about using foil vinyl on your order.

File Types for Foil Printing
There are two types of images: raster and vector. Raster images use pixels. The higher number of pixels an image contains, the better resolution it will have; better quality prints. Pixels have a direct effect on the scaling capabilities of an image. The more pixels an image contains, the larger it can be scaled without becoming boxy, or “pixelated.”
Vector images, however, use mathematical calculations between two different points to create geometrical shapes. The process itself uses lines instead of pixels, and because of that, they are infinitely scalable. No matter how large you scale a vector image, it will not lose its quality. When you view a photo on a computer screen, it usually requires a fairly low PPI (Pixels Per Inch) count – around 72, generally. For digital viewing, that’s fine. But when it comes to printing, both on t-shirts and paper, the higher the PPI count, the better. Ideally, we request customers submit photos at 300 PPI. If that’s not possible, no worries! Our design team is always happy to help. Whether submitting a vector or raster image, here are some of the most commonly accepted file formats:
- AI
- EPS
- JPEG
- TIFF
- PNG
- PSD
- PCT
