Spot a glint in customers’ eyes...

For a distinctive, classy addition to any business card, look no further than our foil range.

Due to its typically expensive process, we’ve incorporated a new way of adding foil to our business cards – digital foiling. This method applies glossy, metallic inks on top of lamination in the same way spot varnish is applied. There’s less of an expense when it comes to the setup costs, making our foil cards viable even for short runs - order as few as 100!

Choose from dazzling gold, silver or copper; or stand out with a vibrant blue or green, or even our rainbow holographic silver foil.

Printed on thick, 400gsm silk stock, paired with matt or soft touch lamination for a perfect finish.

Is this the same as block foiling/hot foiling?

Not quite. Block foiling involves the creation of a metal die which presses the foil onto the cards using heat, leaving the foiled elements slightly recessed/debossed. Our process applies the foil more like an ink, so the foil sits on the surface of the card. It is also slightly raised giving a 3D embossing like effect. Since it is not necessary to create a die, it works out more economical, especially for smaller orders.

Can I have this type of foiling on a card without lamination?

Unfortunately not. The digital foil used is a liquid, and has to be applied onto a laminated surface. Without the lamination, it would absorb into the card and you'd lose the full metallic effect.

How do I choose which areas I want to foil?

The digital foiling can be applied to whichever parts of the card as you like. It works really well on decorative elements and icons, as well as larger text. It is applied separately to the full colour print, so there can be fractional mis-alignment (normally not more than 0.3mm), and it can spread very slightly, so we recommend you don't use it for extra fine lines or small text.

Our pricing is for a foil coverage of up to 30% of the card area. If you need higher coverage than this, please let us know and we can quote accordingly.

Foiling
