Foil Business Cards

Foil business cards are one of the fastest ways to make your brand look premium—without saying a word. Foil stamping adds metallic (or pigmented) shine to specific areas of your design, creating contrast, depth, and a luxury feel the moment someone picks up your card.

If you want a classic metallic shine, foil is the move. If you’d rather make the card feel premium through texture instead of shine, explore embossed business cards. For modern gloss contrast, consider spot UV business cards. And if you want the shape itself to stand out, check out die cut business cards.

What Is Foil Stamping?

Foil stamping is a premium finishing process that uses heat and pressure to apply foil to specific areas of your artwork. Unlike ink, foil sits on top of the stock and reflects light—making logos, typography, borders, and patterns look sharper, bolder, and more intentional.

Foil is ideal for clean logos, strong typography, minimal layouts, and designs that benefit from high contrast and shine.

Foil Color Options

Choose from popular foil colors such as:

• Gold
• Silver
• Rose Gold
• Copper
• Black
• White
• Blue
• Red
• And more

If you’re unsure which foil color fits your brand, we can recommend options based on your logo colors and paper choice.

Paper Stocks & Finish Options

Foil looks best on premium stocks that create contrast and hold detail. Depending on the style you’re going for, foil can be paired with a range of paper types and finishes.

• Uncoated: Natural, classic, and high-end—great for subtle luxury.
• Silk / Soft-Touch: Smooth, modern feel with clean foil contrast.
• Black Stock: High drama—foil pops hard on deep black.
• Thick Options: Heavier cards feel more expensive and memorable.

Want more dimension? You can combine foil with raised detailing using our embossed business cards style upgrades. Want contrast without metallic shine? Spot UV business cards deliver a similar premium effect using selective gloss.

Why Foil Business Cards Work

• Instant Premium Perception: Metallic accents communicate quality immediately.
• High Contrast & Readability: Foil can make logos and text stand out cleanly.
• Durable Finish: Foil is designed to hold up well under normal professional use.
• Memorable First Impressions: People keep cards that feel different.

Best Uses for Foil Business Cards

• Luxury brands and boutique services
• Real estate, finance, and professional services
• Creative agencies, designers, photographers
• High-end retail, wellness, hospitality
• Founders and executives who want authority and polish

Artwork Guidelines

To apply foil accurately, provide a separate black-and-white foil template indicating where foil should be applied. Use 100% black (C=0, M=0, Y=0, K=100) to mark foil areas. This ensures crisp edges and clean placement.

We recommend high-resolution PDF files with outlined fonts. AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, and high-quality JPG/PNG files are also accepted. Artwork should be 300 DPI and built in CMYK color mode.
