The craft of gilding goes back to ancient Egypt. Today we use foils of many different colors to embellish the edges of announcements, business cards, invitations, books, etc. Brilliant silvers and lustrous gold’s are the most commonly used, although here at Abbey Press we also use reds, greens, blues, metallic’s almost any color you desire. Our highly skilled craftsmen can apply these finishes to the edge of almost any size or shape sheet, pad, card or book.
