Foil Studio Pro Toner Foils Are Coming

It was probably only a matter of time. After becoming known for our toner foiling machines, Foil Studio Pro is getting ready to launch its very own range of toner reactive foils.

Our new foil collection has been carefully selected and tested to work beautifully with our machines, giving customers the consistent, high-quality results they have come to expect from Foil Studio Pro.


The range will include classic metallics, holographics, patterns and other finishes, with more colours and designs being added over time.


We are not aiming to stock every foil available. Instead, we want to build a carefully curated collection of foils that we genuinely like, trust and know perform well.

And while our own foil range may be new, the plans certainly are not.

Our friends over at Ugly Betty Confetti have been aware of our plans to introduce Foil Studio Pro toner foils for some time, and we are both fully supportive of each other’s businesses.


We believe there is plenty of room in the market for independent businesses to do their own thing, grow their own ranges and support customers in different ways.

Different businesses. Different styles. Plenty of foil to go around.


We have always believed that business does not have to mean unnecessary competition or drama, and we are pleased to have a positive relationship with another independent brand operating in the same creative space.


For us, the focus remains simple: great products, fair pricing and foils that we know work.


Foil Studio Pro toner foils will be available very soon at www.foilstudiopro.co.uk, with more colours, finishes and surprises already in the pipeline.


Watch this space.

Foil Studio Pro Unveils Serena – Its New Soft Lilac Foiling Machine

Foil Studio Pro has officially unveiled Serena, its brand-new soft lilac toner foiling machine, adding another carefully chosen pastel shade to the company’s growing collection.

Serena was officially revealed by Sharon from Essar Aitch, a familiar face within the crafting community and a long-standing supporter of Foil Studio Pro, giving customers their first proper look at the latest machine to join the range.


The new soft lilac colour follows the success of Liora, Foil Studio Pro’s signature pink machine, and continues the brand’s move towards creating a cohesive collection of distinctive pastel-coloured foiling machines.


While Serena may look very different on the outside, customers can expect the same simple, reliable toner foiling experience that has helped Foil Studio Pro machines become increasingly popular with crafters, stationery businesses and small creative brands across the UK.

Serena has been designed for use with toner-reactive foil and laser-printed designs, allowing users to create metallic, holographic and patterned foil finishes across everything from greetings cards and invitations to packaging, stationery and personalised products.


Foil Studio Pro founder Ray Rahman said:

“Liora has been incredibly popular and we knew that whatever came next had to feel like part of the same family.


“Serena is soft, understated and just a little bit gorgeous. We didn’t want to simply produce another standard black or white machine, we want our products to look as good in a craft room or studio as the things people are creating with them.


“Having Sharon from Essar Aitch officially reveal Serena felt right too. Sharon has been part of the Foil Studio Pro journey and has demonstrated our machines to thousands of people, so we couldn’t think of anyone better to introduce her.”


The launch comes during a period of rapid growth for Foil Studio Pro, which has built a strong following since launching its toner foiling machines in the UK.


And Serena may not be the last surprise.


“We’ve got plenty more going on behind the scenes and deliveries making their way to us from all corners of the world.

“Foil Studio Pro has never really been about standing still. Serena is the next chapter — but she certainly isn’t the end of the story.”


Serena is available to pre order from Foil Studio Pro at www.foilstudiopro.co.uk.

Foil Studio Pro Surpasses 500 Pink Machines Sold

More than 500 machines sold in just seven months

Foil Studio Pro is celebrating another major milestone after sales of its signature pink toner foiling machine surpassed 500 units since the first machines arrived in the UK in the middle of January 2026.

What started as a simple idea to make professional-quality toner foiling more accessible has quickly grown into one of the fastest-growing names in the foiling community.

In just over seven months, more than 500 pink Foil Studio Pro machines have made their way into craft rooms, stationery studios and small businesses across the continent.
For an independent UK business, it's a milestone we're incredibly proud of — and one that simply wouldn't have happened without the support of our customers.

Ray, Owner of Foil Studio Pro Limited, said:
“When the first pink machines arrived in January, I knew we had something special, but seeing more than 500 of them now out there being used by crafters and small businesses across Europe is quite something.

We haven't been around for decades. We haven't got a huge corporate marketing budget. We've simply concentrated on offering a great machine, good value and genuinely looking after our customers.

To pass 500 pink machines in around seven months is a huge milestone for us — but we're definitely not stopping there.”

The distinctive pink machine has quickly become synonymous with the Foil Studio Pro brand, helping users transform ordinary laser-printed toner into metallic, holographic and speciality foiled creations.

And 2026 is far from finished.

What a Weekend at the Creative Craft Show!

16 March 2026

We’re back from an incredible few days at the Creative Craft Show at Birmingham NEC — and what a show it was.

Foil Studio Pro was a huge hit, Patsy May Foils came along for the ride, and together we brought the toner foiling machine of 2026 and the UK’s longest-established and biggest toner foil supplier under one roof.

Even better, we were proud to be the only dedicated toner foiling machine business exhibiting at the show.

Our stand was packed throughout the day, with crafters stopping by to see Foil Studio Pro in action, discover just how easy toner foiling can be and, judging by the amount that left the stand, stock up on foil like it was going out of fashion.

We were also joined by two brilliant and familiar names from the toner foiling community — Sharon Harrison of Essar Aitch and Helen Pomfret of Craft Prints by Helen.

Sharon and Helen demonstrated Foil Studio Pro throughout the show, shared their knowledge and tips, created plenty of shiny things and got the chance to meet some of their followers and fans in person.

A huge thank you to everyone who came to see us.

Thank you to everyone who bought a machine, everyone who stopped for a demonstration or a chat, and everyone who supported the other small businesses whose products we stocked on our stand because they couldn’t be at the show themselves.

Supporting small businesses is incredibly important to us, so being able to give other independent brands a little space at one of the UK’s biggest craft shows made the weekend even more special.

The reaction to Foil Studio Pro at Birmingham NEC exceeded anything we could have hoped for.

Birmingham, you were brilliant.

We’ll see you again.

They’re Here! Our First Foil Studio Pro Machines Have Arrived

January 2026

It’s official — after months of planning, designing, testing and a very long journey from the manufacturing hub in China, the first batch of Foil Studio Pro toner foiling machines has arrived in the UK.

Our first shipment travelled across continents by train before finally reaching us, and we’re incredibly excited to confirm that the first 100 machines are already packed and on their way to their new owners.

For everyone who placed a pre-order and has been following the journey from the beginning — your pink machine is finally becoming a reality.

And there’s even more good news.
The remainder of our machines have also now arrived in the UK and are currently undergoing the final customs clearance checks before being transported to our warehouse.

Once they land with us, we’ll be straight into dispatching the next wave of pre-orders and preparing stock for customers across the UK and Europe who are ready to discover just how easy — and addictive — toner foiling can be.

What started as an idea has now become hundreds of real machines, ready to find their way into craft rooms, stationery studios and small businesses across the continent.

We’ve been overwhelmed by the response to Foil Studio Pro so far, and seeing the first 100 machines leave for their new homes is a milestone we won’t forget.

Whether you’re creating wedding stationery, cards, invitations, packaging, business stationery or simply want to add a little more shine to your crafting, Foil Studio Pro is officially here.

And this is only the beginning.
