It was a great buy but bear in mind based on how many items you intend to use it on that the sheets are 20 pieces, cut to the size of the casing it is in and you may need to purchase another pack or a roll to fully accomplish the task at hand.
It worked great, I used a laminating machine and some of the foil got onto parts of the paper that didn't have words, so some were spoiled. Ended up using an iron which I probably could have done from the start.

Very finicky and difficult to get good results in our experience
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2016
I can't necessarily say I recommend this product, simply because it was so incredibly hard to figure out how to get consistent results. Granted, we were beginners in the "gold foiling game," so we hadn't he slightest clue what we were doing or what we were getting ourselves into. By the way, if you've gotten as far as considering buying this product, I'm guessing you're at least basically familiar with the gold foiling process already, so I write this review based on that assumption.If you're looking to complete a small project using gold foiling, i.e. a cute sign or 5 greeting cards or something, your life will be easier. It's the bulk projects that are more difficult, since the results are unpredictable, and you have to churn out much, much more gold foiling in order to get enough that pass the quality test. The process of incorporating gold foiling into about 100 DIY wedding invitations, "details" cards, and "RSVP" cards ended up being more finicky than we ever thought possible. Seems like every single variable had an effect on how consistently the gold foil adhered to the surface of the paper or card stock, so we went through a ton, and I mean A TON, of trial and error in order to get our final results, which were admittedly really good in the end. By "good results," I mean the gold foil adhered to the surface consistently, and by "bad results" I mean it didn't, and there were unsightly patches of black interspersed throughout the text we were trying to gold foil. And it's actually very unpredictable as to which kinds of results you're going to get at any given time, even if all of the variables seem to be right! The following variables seemed to matter a lot in our experience: which laser printer we used, whether the laser printer was loaded with authentic or knock-off toner, what types of paper or card stock we used, how long we allowed for the laminator to heat up each time before using it, the direction in which we inserted the thing being gold foiled into the laminator (no joke), the number of times in a row going through the laminator, giving the laminator intermittent "breaks" to heat back up, the direction and technique used to peel off the gold foil, etc. Again, after much trial, error, and frustration, here's what ended up working best for us. We used this gold foil in conjunction with:- This card stock: "Cougar Natural 100# Card Stock 8.5x11 - 100 Pk" (ordered from Amazon - $19.95 per 100-pack);- This laminator: "Royal Sovereign 9-Inch Laminator (CS-923)" (ordered from Amazon for $28.99); and- A large, office-sized HP laser printer, loaded with authentic HP toner (Sorry - I don't know the exact printer model).A few tips and pearls of wisdom stemming from our sorrowful gold foiling journey:- Authentic HP toner, for some reason, always produced the best results. Don't know why.- The heavier weight we went in terms of the card stock, the better the results got. (Although this 100# stuff listed above was the heaviest variety we tried.) The gold foil didn't adhere to regular printer paper very well at all.- Let the laminator heat up for at least 10 minutes before you begin using it.- If you're on a roll inserting sheet after sheet, like we often operated, let the laminator have "breaks" intermittently so it can heat back up. (If we were starting to get bad results and weren't sure why, we gave the laminator a 10-minute or so break and oftentimes saw better results afterwards.)- Yes, the directions in which you (1) insert into the laminator and (2) peel off the gold foil can absolutely matter, so experiment with different possibilities, and keep track of what works best for whatever you're gold foiling (particularly relevant if you're crazy enough to do a bulk project like we did, where you're going to be gold foiling the same sort of thing many, many times). For example, sometimes we got better results by consistently inserting something into the laminator either upside down or rightside up. And, after laminating, sometimes the gold foil adhered better when it was peeled off starting from one direction over another. And peeling the gold foil away slowly/gently certainly helps it adhere better.- If you're continually getting bad results seemingly no matter what you try, sometimes it helps to send the same thing through the laminator two times in a row. This, of course, was much more time consuming, but sometimes it helped the gold foil adhere better to the "more stubborn" text.- Along similar lines, if you get bad results and the gold foil doesn't adhere to all of your text, or if you inadvertently miss a spot, you can try placing leftover scraps of gold foil over the missed areas and running it through the laminator again. In keeping with the gold foil guesswork, sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't.I'm sure there are more tips that can be offered, but that's all that comes to mind for now! Had we known from the outset what a pain this would be, we probably wouldn't have attempted it, but hopefully our anecdotes and advice will help make someone else's gold foiling process go much more smoothly. Good luck!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 10, 2018
NOTE: I did try initially to print and foil my messages on a textured, metallic navy paper. It did NOT work AT ALL. I assume this is because the paper was textured and all the toner had sunk into the paper rather than sitting on top for the foil to adhere to. Since the paper was thicker, my laminator also may not have been strong enough to heat through it and cause the foil to adhere. LESSON: Use perfectly smooth paper!

Worked great with my Amazon Basics laminator and Minc foil transfer folders
By Murphy Magee on January 10, 2018
I used this with my Amazon Basics laminator to gold foil several signs for our wedding reception. My printer is an HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fdw. I purchased several Minc Transfer Folders to use with this foil. Although the foil DID NOT stick 100% to my laser print, it produced a kind of speckled appearance which I found quite pretty. [Difficult to see in photo since it was taken at an angle.] The text was more foiled than it was black, which made me happy. The foil that did adhere to my signs was firmly stuck and did not flake off. It really produced a glamorous element to our reception, and I was happy with the quality given that I was not using the "recommended"/"required" laminator. If I had been able to get more toner to lay down on the paper, it's possible that my results would've been better.By Murphy Magee on January 10, 2018

This is not a true rose gold - more like a bronze
By ABuhler on August 16, 2020
This product works GREAT for heat transfer foiling. Only gave 4 stars because the color is not rose gold (which is more of a copper color) whereas this is more of a bronze color (has more brown tones). I checked packaging to make sure I was sent the correct color- and package says rose gold. I can still use and product works great - but if you are looking for a more copper rose gold - do not buy this - but if you are looking for a more bronze color - definitely get. I tried to take a couple of pictures of some rose gold I had and of this foil - to give idea.
