Frequently Asked Questions
-
Each foiling of a first and last name only takes less than 1 minute. There is no drying time, it’s ready to go!
I am known for my speedy style! I do not need guidelines or templates. Once I receive a request, I get started right away in front of your client. This creates a quick and seamless on the spot experience for live activation.

Leather or Similar Surfaces:
Luggage Tags, Passport Covers, Airpod/AirTag Covers, Notebooks, Journals, Checkbook Cover, Portfolios, Planners, Eyeglass Cases, Jewelry Boxes, Money Clips, Belts etc.I recommend a smooth, non-glossy leather texture. Embossed, grainy or pebbled leather will result in uneven foiling. A dark leather looks great against gold and silver foil. Sample testing is at no cost (shipping will be to Las Vegas, Nevada), and I will send you pictures of the results and my professional opinions on which option works best with your product and event aspirations.
Other suitable materials:
Wood: Chopstick Boxes, Liquor Boxes etc.
Cork: Coasters, Yoga Mats, Yoga Blocks etc.
Suede: Luggage Tags, Passport Covers, Shoes etc.
