Hot foil stamping mockups
Foil is a mirror. In an evenly lit room it shows the room, so PreviewFly sets its brightness from the photo's own light and takes its metal colour from your logo's colour: gold artwork, gold foil. On kraft and board it is pressed slightly into the surface.

Hot foil stamping, asked often
Why does foil look brighter in some photos?
Foil is a mirror: it shows the room it is in. PreviewFly takes its brightness from each photo's own light, so the same foil reads brighter in a bright room and deeper in a dim one.
