This is right if
The mark is already yours and customers know it. Only the file is failing: soft edges, hairlines, touching colours, or it came out of an AI generator.
You have a logo
Make your mark press-ready.
A press-ready redraw rebuilds an existing logo's curves, counters and separations by hand so a foil die, letterpress plate or emboss can hold it. The mark stays yours; only the drawing changes.

Alvarez Stone · rebuilt vector mark on its printed card
From a real project · Alvarez Stone
Supplied CMYK raster → Vector master
A raster has no line weight to hold to. Traced and rebuilt, every stroke has a measurable thickness we can lift to the foil floor, and foil, letterpress and blind emboss all become possible in the same pass.

Receive the production files
Outlined vector masters, process separations and a spec sheet naming what the press needs to hold.

Is this the right service?
When you need this. When you don't.
If the drawing itself is weak
When the silhouette works but the details fall apart on paper, a reinterpretation is the more honest job.

If the mark is fine
Your logo already holds. You just need it laid out and engineered on a card.

Production standards
The details that matter here.
Hairlines
Fine detail survives foil: lines hold to 0.1 mm (0.28 pt). We design to 0.15 mm (0.43 pt, 0.006 in) for the crispest strike, with gaps around 0.25 mm. Only below-floor details need a small local adjustment; we never simplify or bolden your mark for foil.
Foil minimums →
Counters
Keep internal foil gaps around 0.25 mm; adjust only gaps below 0.15 mm, without changing the mark.
Emboss and letterpress →
Questions before we start.
Can you fix a logo for foil stamping?
Yes. A foil logo needs a minimum line weight of 0.5 pt and counters no smaller than 1.5 mm, and we redraw yours to those floors. Anything finer fills in with foil or flakes off the sheet within a few hundred impressions.
Why won't my AI-generated logo print?
Generated marks carry three things a die cannot hold: soft edges, hairlines that taper to nothing, and colours that touch. We rebuild the idea rather than trace the image.
Can you vectorise my logo?
We redraw rather than auto-trace. Auto-tracing leaves wobbling curves and stepped edges that are invisible on screen and obvious in a foil die or an emboss.
Do I own the finished files?
Yes. The approved artwork and its production files are yours. Fonts licensed from others remain subject to their licence.
