Foiled Journals And Notebooks
Foiling is a high-impact finishing technique that adds striking colours to your notebook covers and branding. By combining heat and pressure with foil film, your logo or design is transferred, creating a premium visual finish that elevates every notebook.
We Is Foiling So Popular?
Foiling is ideal when you want your branding to stand out with visual impact and a premium feel. It enhances logos, typography and design elements with a lustrous finish that reads quality at first glance.
Perfect for notebooks used in:
- Retail products – adds perceived value on shelves
- For gifting & PR – creates memorable first impressions
- Event & conference – high visibility for giveaway items
Foiling is especially effective on leather and vegan leather covers, but also works beautifully on textured and smooth surfaces

Foiling Under 100 Journals?
Need lower quantities or a faster turnaround, select a ready-to-brand notebook and add debossing to the cover. We offer a great selection including Moleskine, Leuchtturm1917, and our own core range.
What Does Foiling Actually Look Like?
Because foil is applied to the surface of the cover, the final result depends on the material, colour and finish you choose. Light reflection, contrast and texture all influence how bold or subtle the metallic effect appears.
To help you visualise how this might look on your own notebook, here are real examples across different cover materials and foil colours.

Sustainability you can trace.
We don’t outsource hot foil stamping to unknown suppliers or ship products between multiple facilities. Your notebooks are manufactured and foil stamped in our European factory, with direct oversight of materials, dies, heat processes and waste. From artwork approval to final finish, production stays under one roof.
Full Cover Foiling
Foil stamping isn’t limited to small logos. Large areas, repeating brand patterns and bold graphic elements can all be applied across the entire cover surface. Metallic finishes create contrast and light reflection, adding visual impact without printing additional colour.
Full cover foiling works particularly well for retail notebooks, premium gifting and statement event pieces. From a distance it reads clean and refined. Up close, the metallic detail catches the light and elevates the finish.
What’s The Cost Of Foiling?
Foiling requires a custom metal die and heat-applied metallic film. A single foil stamp is typically added per notebook, with additional cost depending on artwork size and coverage. Although if doing a medium to large run of custom journals with Bookblock the unit cost is very small.
