Printers Special Effects : FOILED CARDS

I've had a lot of interest lately about Metallic business cards, business cards printed onto metal or plastic - like a credit card, cards with numbering or individual names and numbering, cards with metallic foils in various colours including orange, red, blue and green, as well as the usual gold and silver printing, emboss effects, die-cut cards - both your standard die-cut business cards or unique, original die-cut cards, and more... Here I will start with some information about Foiling and go from there, as there as so many small ways to ENHANCE YOUR IMAGE and HELP YOUR CLIENTS REMEMBER YOU!

So not just once, but definitely for all, I will give a explanation for all those people looking for business cards and printing with a little something extra. A little ZING to make a business card stand out among the billions of others.

So like the salesman with the flashing gold tooth.. but a lot less cheesy.. we offer foiled business cards! These can be added to either our Hi-gloss cards or our slinky matte option - Smooth-as-Satin business cards, and come in a variety of colours ; Classic Gold foil, Stunning Silver foil, Bronze foil, my personal favourite - Gunmetal foil, Blue foil, Green foil, Red foil - great for Christmas Cards, Black foil - you gotta see the black, ask us for samples! .. White foil - looks like a smooth twink finish - yes, that's the best way I can explain it - and a white foil will look fantastic on the right card.

Foils are a great option to get your cards looking classy. We have done designs where we try to work a foil into the design which looks great for Manufacture companies, where the foil is the hammer or anvil or some kind of metal. We have used foils to give a card a "riveted" look, or to highlight parts of a motorbike or a safety helmet. Imagine the possibility!

Classic foil use would be starting with the right font for your style, and having that font embossed. It used to be that you would only see a foil effect on your lawyers business card, or the foiled business card with matching foiled letterhead from you Dentist reminding you of your next bill due date. Nowadays foils are an affordable and very effective way of making your card stand out from your competitor, and insuring your customers KEEP your card, which is, after all, our ultimate goal. Even better if they're impressed enough to show their friends!
