Description

Make a lasting impression with foiled business cards that look as good as they feel. Each card is printed on premium 450gsm silk card, giving it a sturdy, luxurious weight that says professional from the moment it’s handed over.

Every card comes with a smooth matt lamination as standard. As well as adding a refined finish, it helps protect your cards against everyday wear and tear, so they stay looking fresh for longer.

Choose your foil colour

Add a striking touch of foil printing in your choice of seven metallic foil colours. Go for the shimmer of gold, the boldness of silver or the richness of a coloured foil, and pick the one that best suits your brand.

Your cards can be printed single or double-sided, giving you room for your brand message and contact details. Please note that foil is applied to one side of the card only.

Foil is a shiny metallic finish, such as gold or silver, on the parts of your card you choose. It’s set up in your artwork file, so we know exactly where it goes.

Setting up your file

Set up your card at 91 × 61 mm: 85 × 55 mm plus 3 mm bleed on every side. Keep text and logos at least 5 mm inside the edge.
Make a new spot colour swatch named Foil, at 100% of one colour (magenta is easy to see). The swatch colour won’t print: the foil is the colour you choose in the options above.
On a new layer above your design, draw or copy the parts you want foiled, and fill them with the Foil swatch only. Set them to overprint.
Foil goes on one side only, side 1 (the front). Keep the Foil layer on that page, in the same file: there’s no separate foil file.
Save a print-ready PDF that keeps the spot colour. A JPEG can’t hold a foil layer.

Good to know

Very fine detail doesn’t foil well: keep lines at least 0.5 pt thick and text at least 8 pt.
Bold text, logos and borders work best. Large solid areas of foil can show small marks, so keep them modest.

Using Canva, Word or another program without spot colours? Upload your artwork as normal and choose “File Check with Proof”. Then contact us with your order number and tell us which parts to foil. We’ll set up the foil and send you a proof before anything is printed.
