You could have a screen printer do it, or you could do it with heat transfers.

silvermountaingraphics.com makes foil transfers. You can also make foil transfers if you have a vinyl cutter, and use metallic vinyl.

You print a foil adhesive through a corse mesh they cure the adhesive.
The foil is supplied on a roll which you heat press on the garment.
I always used a metallic ink of thne same colour as the foil to be applied as an adhesive. Due to foil washing off very easy.
