Burgundy Laminating Foil Supplies

Both matter. The roll width (12" in this case) needs to fit your laminator's maximum feed width, while the core diameter determines whether the roll physically seats on your machine's spindle. A foil roll with the wrong core diameter won't mount correctly even if the width is compatible, so check your laminator's spec sheet for both dimensions before ordering. Most fusing-capable pouch laminators are built around a small handful of standard core sizes, so once you know your machine's rating, reordering the correct width and core combination becomes straightforward for future runs.

The finished color depends on both the foil and what's underneath it. On white or light stock, the burgundy reads as a rich, saturated wine tone with a metallic sheen. On darker or colored paper, the foil's opacity means it will still show as burgundy, but the overall look can appear slightly different depending on the sheen of the base stock. For the most consistent, true-to-sample color, choose a smooth, lightly coated or uncoated white sheet rather than heavily textured or dark cardstock, since texture and color underneath can affect how evenly the foil catches light. If you're unsure how a given stock will perform, the full laminating foil lineup is worth browsing for comparison against similar finishes.

This foil ships as a 500-foot roll, and usage depends entirely on how much of each sheet you're foiling. For small accents like a monogram or border on standard business cards, a single roll can realistically cover several hundred pieces since you only need foil sized to the printed graphic, not the whole sheet. For larger designs like full wedding invitation borders, expect to use noticeably more per piece. It's worth doing a test run on a handful of sheets first to gauge your actual coverage rate before committing to a full production batch, so you don't run short mid-project.

Yes. Because the foiling process only picks up color where toner is printed, you can run a sheet through multiple times with different foil colors and carriers to create multi-color effects on a single page. Print one color's design in toner, foil it, then print and foil the next section separately. This lets you layer burgundy with a metallic gold or silver accent for a two-tone finished look. If you're planning a multi-color job, comparing core sizes across colors upfront helps make sure every roll you order will actually seat on the same laminator without needing an adapter.
