Hair foil specifications
This section holds the data behind our hair foil: sizes in inches and millimetres, thickness and alloy, emboss patterns, pack counts, and the 7 QC tests with their methods and results. Every figure comes from one data table, which you can download as a CSV file.
Specification pages
- Size chart
Standard hair foil sizes in inches and millimetres, drawn to scale: pop-up, pre-cut and roll widths, with the technique and hair length each suits.
- Thickness & alloy
The thickness range of our hair foil in microns, set for each order, the aluminium alloy and temper used, and how thickness affects folding and tearing.
- Emboss patterns
Honeycomb, diamond, orange-peel and random-dot emboss patterns compared: texture, how grip is tested, folding feel and best use.
- Pack counts & cost per foil
Sheets per box and metres per roll for every hair foil format, with the number of foils per pack and how to work out the cost per foil at each order size.
- QC testing
The 7 tests we run on hair foil — thickness, wet tear, comb pierce, pop-up dispense, flatness, grip and ink bleach resistance — what each checks and how.
- Printed ink bleach test
How we test printed hair foil ink against bleach and developer, the conditions recorded with each test, and what a bleach test does and does not prove.

Plain definitions of hair foil terms: micron, 8011 alloy, emboss patterns, pop-up, interfold, pre-folded edge, meche, balayage, MOQ, DDP and more.
- Pricing
What drives the wholesale and custom price of pop-up, pre-cut and roll hair foil, the one-off costs of a printed order, and how to get a dated quotation.

Where the figures come from
Two kinds of figure appear on these pages, and each is labelled in our data.
- Set per order. Thickness, size, count and packing are chosen for each order within the ranges shown; the figures here are our standard, not a limit.
- Stated by us. Minimum orders, lead times and pack counts are our commercial terms.
A figure that has not been confirmed is marked TBC, to be confirmed. Pages that depend on unconfirmed figures are kept out of search engines until the data is complete.
