Answer

Our metallic foil products are created by the traditonal hot foil stamping method. As such, the finish of the foil is flat. In contrast, Raised Foil has a raised foil finish, that if you run your fingers over the card you will feel the foil. The height of the foil is approximately 60 microns.
