Metallic Foil Business Cards
All metallic foil business cards are printed on 16-point cardstock and are SILK LAMINATED.
An order for metallic foil business cards can only have one type of foil, either Gold or Silver. Hence,
an order with Gold foil on the front and Silver foil on the back is NOT POSSIBLE.

When doing a metallic foil business card, a foil mask must be created and uploaded with your full color file. The file for the Foil mask MUST ONLY be black and white (100% Black). 100% Black in the areas you want the foil, and white in the areas you do not want the foil. You must ensure that your foil mask file only has 100% black in it and will represent where there will be foil stamped on the final product. (please see images below illustrating how to correctly set up your files).
|
Note:
Please make sure that you have prepared your foil mask file precisely and it is positioned correctly to where it is intended to be placed. 4OVER4.COM will absolutely not be held responsible for foil mask files that have not been saved correctly to the desired final positioning wanted by the customer.

Some key bullet points about
WonderFoil Business Cards from 4OVER4.COM:
WonderFoil Business Cards from 4OVER4.COM:
|
Printed on 16-point gloss cardstock with hi-gloss UV coating |
|
WonderFoil Available on Front, Back or Both Sides |
|
Make sure the mask and CMYK print file are aligned and match up properly |
|
Do not use WonderFoil on very thin or small text and art. Use san serif fonts above 12 point for best results |
|
White in the CMYK file that is 100% K (black) in the Wonderfoil Mask file will appear as METALLIC SILVER FOIL |
|
WonderFoil works best on lighter colors. The darker the CMYK color, the less the Wonderfoil effect |
|
When creating knockouts in the WonderFoil mask or in the CMYK file, beware of a "halo" of white around the knockout area. (see illustrations below as well as how to eliminate this problem is your art calls for this effect) |

Avoid "HALO" effect of white around the knockout area. To prevent this effect, grow/stroke the WonderFoil area in the mask by 1â??2 pixels. This will allow the WonderFoil to bleed into the CMYK area, reducing the white "Halo" effect. You can also fill in the knockout with a color to reduce the effect further.
3D Lenticular Business Cards
|
Motion Effect |
 |
|
3D Lenticular Cards from 4OVER4.COM allow you to have two or three different pictures in one. We take your images and create a swapping effect, each image vanishing and then reappearing from one to another as you tilt the card up and down. In addition, an optional backside, printed in regular 4 color process, is also available.
|
 |
As you can see from the animation above, your images will transition from one to another as you move the card up and down.
|
NOTE: At the moment, only a vertical transition or flip is available for order.
Some key bullet points about 3D Lenticular Business Cards from 4OVER4.COM
 |
Available with 2 or 3 transitions (flips) on 3D frontside |
|
Optional Full Color Printed Backside |
|
21-point total thickness with 3D frontside and printed backing |
|
1/8" or 1/4" Rounded Corners |
|
Colorful dark and/or textured backgrounds create a much more noticeable effect |
|
Use of light colored backgrounds (especially white) are not recommended. |
|
White and light colored areas only work well if each view has white/light colors in the exact same area. |
|
Use bold fonts and avoid fine, small and thin serif type |
|
Fonts get distorted through the lens / plastic surface, so the bolder the font the better |
|
Text that varies from view to view (file to file) should NOT overlap. Text should be in different positions on each view |
|
3D effect works best when the variation from image to image is subtle and simple |
|
