Frugal Foil Usage

Plan carefully

Foil often graces packaging in the form of ornate designs or borders—accents to the overall design layout. This usage of foil automatically lends itself to foil waste, since only a fraction of the foil surface area is used. Add that to the fact that many stamping and embossing machines advance the foil more than is needed and the result is a lot of foil bound for the trash.
