There's something special about adding a personal touch to everyday items. At this year's NAHB National Conference, we showed off how heat foiling can turn simple materials into custom treasures. Under the eye-catching blue neon "Tag You're It" sign, visitors got to see the magic happen in real time!

What's Heat Foiling All About?
Think of heat foiling as a fancy way to add metallic designs to different materials. It uses heat and pressure to bond shiny foil onto surfaces permanently. The trick is getting the temperature just right - like Goldilocks, not too hot, not too cold!
What Can We Foil?
Leather is our superstar material - it takes to foil better than anything else. The heat opens up the leather's natural texture, letting the foil sink in for a finish that lasts.
But leather's not the only player in the game. We can work our magic on:
Fabric (yep, it stays put through washing!)
Silk (needs a gentle touch, but looks amazing)
Wood (way better than regular stickers or paint)

The Conference Setup
At NAHB, we kept things simple but effective. Custom luggage tags were the hit of the show - everyone loved picking their font style (Script, Block, or KSM) and seeing their name appear in metallic glory. We kept it to 5 characters per tag to make sure every letter looked perfect.
Our mobile setup proved you don't need a huge workshop to create professional results. With just the right equipment and know-how, we turned out beautiful custom pieces right there on the conference floor.
Why It Matters
For builders and designers at NAHB, heat foiling opens up tons of possibilities. Want to brand some high-end materials? Add a special touch to client gifts? Create unique marketing pieces? Heat foiling's got you covered.
The best part? It's not just about looking pretty. These finishes are built to last, making them perfect for everything from decorative touches on building materials to custom signage that needs to stand the test of time.
