The tactile value engine
FØUNDRY
BUILT TO BE FELT.
Upload the piece, load the separations from prepress, and put foil, raised UV, cast & cure, and emboss under real studio light — in living 3D, at true physical size, priced while you look at it.

How should this piece feel?
Start from the result, not the process vocabulary. FØUNDRY translates intent into a viable material strategy.
The control version. No added tactile treatment.
The highest-impact improvement inside the current constraint.
A stronger material hierarchy with deliberate dimensional and reflective contrast.
The strongest production-feasible concept without the current budget ceiling.
A flattened JPEG in a PDF, no layers, no spot inks — the die is read out of the pixels and the carton folds. Elsewhere that file stays a flat sheet.
Search by the code on the roll — LUXOR, ALUFIN, COLORIT and the rest — or dial any colour. The visualiser is not a foil vendor's brochure.
Micro-embossed foil textures you can scale, turn and slide — not a fixed-size tile with a rotation knob.
Fasson fine papers, Winter & Company covers, Tyvek, coated boards — one pick sets colour, texture and film.
A proof link the customer can approve or send back with notes, not a read-only viewer. Decisions land in the shop's inbox.
Opens in seconds, exports 4K stills, GIF and video, and never stamps its own name across your customer's work. Billed once a year with the team built in — no monthly subscription to babysit, no usage meter.
Real PBR foil, raised polymer displaced in geometry, thin-film holography, die-strike emboss — at true physical size from the artwork itself.
A10s that seal, open, and present a fanned hand of inserts. Flap styles, printed liners, converter seams — the whole package performs.
Reads the die cuts and creases out of the customer's own PDF and folds the sheet into the box.
One click renders the sealed → opened → presented performance as an MP4 loop your customer can watch in their inbox.
Guest links with sign-off and change requests. The approval goes on the production record with a name on it.
Shop rate card, live per-piece quotes, a budget governor that spends tactile value where it matters — and shows the DREAM it held back.
