Copper dies can be used in flat foil stamping and blind embossing. Foil embossing can be achieved while using copper dies but two passes through the press are required. The image must be flat stamped using a flat stamping die and register embossed using an embossing die. This is usually the least expensive die, but its useful life is much shorter than the brass and copper dies. Ideal for short runs, this die can be used similarly as the copper die.
Quality is somewhat less than the brass or copper dies.
