Capture Baby's First Touch with Foil Prints

The first time your baby wraps its teeny fingers around yours is pure magic. You can't help but marvel at how something can be so small yet perfectly formed. 

As new parents, you're probably all too aware that those little moments are fleeting. Before you know it, your baby will grow, and the memory of their tiny size will start to fade.

That's why we've created our baby handprint keepsake, an easy and stress-free method to capture those special details in an everlasting way.

Why Baby Keepsakes Matter

For most parents, newborn days pass in a blur of nappies, feeding schedules, and sleep-deprived nights. Amid the chaos, it’s easy to lose sight of how small your baby is in those early days. 

Before long, those tiny hands will be grasping a spoon, then a pencil, and one day, the steering wheel of their first car as they venture into the world. 

Creating physical versions of newborn memories allows you to encapsulate those precious moments into something that will remain long after your child has grown and flown the nest.

While photos are an obvious choice, there's something rather special about preserving your newborn's touch. Their unique hand or footprint serves as a tactile reminder of how small they once were.

And let's face it, most photos languish within the memory of our smartphones. A keepsake, on the other hand, is a tangible object that can be proudly displayed in your home.

Memories Shouldn't Be Stressful to Make

Creating keepsakes of your newborn should be a joyful experience, but the reality is often quite different.

Between the endless feeding cycles, sleep deprivation, and adjusting to your new role as a parent, finding the energy to create memories can feel overwhelming. DIY keepsake methods don't make it any easier.

Many traditional methods require time, patience, and coordination that new parents simply don’t have. Smudged prints from a wriggly baby, stains on clothes from ink, or the pressure to get a “perfect” result can turn a joyful idea into a stressful ordeal.

There's also the concern about using safe materials on your baby's delicate skin. The last thing any new parent wants is to expose their newborn to harsh chemicals or irritants in the name of preserving memories.

We were determined to find a better way.

That’s why we’ve designed a simple, mess-free way to capture your baby’s hand or footprint from the comfort of your own home.

Our foil print kits let you create a meaningful memory without the stress or chaos, so you can focus on what matters most: cherishing your baby.

What Is a Foil Print Keepsake?

Our foil handprint and footprint kits allow you to turn your baby’s prints into stunning, personalised works of art.

Instead of using traditional printing inks, the images are transformed into a bespoke foil print using a technique involving heat and pressure to bind the foil to the card. You can even add custom text, such as your baby’s name or birth details. 

But what really sets us apart from our competitors is our unique processing method. 

The notorious flaw in foil printing is a speckled finish caused by the heat transfer method.

We didn't like it, and neither did our customers.

Therefore, we spent years perfecting a new technique known as Foil Fusion® Technology. This seamlessly bonds the foil to the backing card with zero speckles and zero peeling. 

The result? A smooth, durable keepsake with no speckles or peeling, ready to be framed and displayed for generations.

A Kit Made for Parents by Parents

As parents ourselves, we designed our foil print keepsake with real parents in mind. We understand only too well that anything involving a newborn baby needs to be simple, quick, and mess-free.

Our handprint kits are easy and take less than five minutes to complete. All you need is your baby.

Oh, and we can confirm, this process can be completed with minimal sleep!

• Four sheets of A5 reactive paper

• Two inkless wipes

• A business card containing your order number

Each kit is for two prints. You can have:

A Gift That’s Thoughtful and Sustainable

Unique baby gifts are getting harder to find. And, in our experience, most parents don't need another onesie to add to the ever-growing pile.

Unlike fast-fashion baby clothes that contribute to landfills or plastic toys that lose their appeal, our hand print kits provide a sustainable option for grandparents and loved ones searching for the perfect newborn gift. 

To make our kits as environmentally friendly as possible, we’ve eliminated all plastic from our packaging and now use fully recyclable materials.

A print of a newborn's hands or feet is a gift that’s not only heartfelt but also eco-conscious, designed to be cherished for a lifetime.

FAQs

How can I preserve my baby's first handprint?

The best and easiest way to preserve your baby's handprint is to use our inkless wipes and reactive paper. 

Gently rub the wipe over your baby’s hand, then press it onto the special paper. A clear image of the handprint will form, which can then be copied and foil-printed onto a card.

Why are baby handprints cherished?

Handprints capture the fleeting smallness of your newborn, serving as a tangible link to their earliest days. As children grow, these prints become cherished reminders of their tiny beginnings, evoking powerful emotions and memories that endure through generations.

What makes foil prints special?

Personalised foil prints are special because they transform a simple ink print into a piece of beautiful and unique art. The foil adds a shimmering yet tasteful effect that catches the light and enhances every tiny indent of your newborn's hand or foot prints.

Think about how many photos we take. Yet most of them exist in our devices, unprinted and hidden. A foil print is easily displayed and serves as a powerful visual reminder of what we cherish most.

What ink is safe for baby skin?

Standard ink is not safe for the delicate skin of a newborn. If you want to take handprints or footprints, use an inkless wipe with reactive paper.

These wipes contain a gentle, non-toxic solution that reacts only with the specially coated paper. They contain no dyes, pigments, alcohol, parabens, or harsh chemicals and have been dermatologically tested.

What to put in a baby's keepsake?

A meaningful infant keepsake contains elements that capture those special newborn moments.

For example, your baby’s hand and footprints, prints with personalised information such as the birth details (time, location, weight, etc.), and sentimental items such as a hospital bracelet or a lock of hair.

Popular items also include the baby's first outfit and even the pregnancy test that revealed the great news.
