Metallic Foil Cards

Get a card that really stands out. Metallic foil can be used on postcards and business cards that looks expensive but doesn't have to be. Use it as an accent, pattern or highlight for lettering. Raised foil adds an additional layer of texture to your card. It allows for a designated area to be given more prominence, ensuring your card receives a great deal of interest and professionalism.

Metallic foil is available in gold and silver. It is printed on top of base printing, which can be single colour background or full-colour. Cards are printed on 14pt stock and have a standard matte lamination giving the card an embossed feel.
