What is live event Hot Foiling?

Leslie offers hot foiling both in-studio and on-site for events, bringing a touch of elegance to your leather or faux leather goods. This technique uses a heated foil pen or wood burning tool, to apply metallic foil to the surface, creating a beautiful, eye-catching finish.

While hot foiling takes a bit more time than traditional engraving, the stunning results are well worth the extra moments. Personal touches like initials or names can often be completed in under a minute, depending on the design.

In addition to adding foil, this method can also create a debossed effect with or without the foil—especially striking on genuine leather.

Because different surfaces react differently to heat and foil, Leslie usually requires a sample first. She’s successfully foiled on everything from plastic to paper, but testing ensures the best possible outcome for your specific item.

How can I use hot foiling to my advantage?

Whether its guests, clients, or customers, this is a service they either have not seen before or do not see done in person very often. It leaves them with not only an experience to remember, but a customized item or product to remember as well.
