Can small typefaces be foil stamped or embossed?
In most cases, yes. Problems can arise with very small type faces (six points or less) on uncoated, heavily textured stocks. In general, the smoother the paper, the cleaner the foil stamping appears. Also, keep in mind that metallic foils tend to be cleaner than pigment foils. Small type can be embossed, but bear in mind that the smaller the type, the shallower the depth.
