So instead of the whole card being foil, the shine sits exactly where you put it, on a logo, a name or a single shape, against a 16pt Gloss Cover background. The printed areas read clearly while the metal catches light as the card turns. Want the whole card cut from metal instead? Our [metal business cards](https://www.4over4.com/product/metal-business-cards) come in stainless steel, gold and rose gold. If you want the entire card wrapped in metal rather than a stamped accent, the [Metallic Foil Business Cards](https://www.4over4.com/product/metallic-foil-business-cards) run real foil leaf in a range of colors across the full face. ### What Size Should a Metallic Business Card Be You get 7 sizes. The 2" x 3.5" standard fits any wallet and cardholder, the 2.125" x 3.375" credit card size reads a touch more premium, and the 1.5" x 3.5" slim card stands tall in a stack. Prefer a break from the rectangle? The 2.5" x 2.5" and 2" x 2" squares and the 2" x 3" and 1.75" x 3.5" cuts give you a different footprint without leaving the gloss stock. Every size below is grouped the way the live configurator on this page presents it, so you know what you can change before you change it. ### Metallic Business Cards , Configured Your Way 4 option groups, 10 choices, defaults: 4/0: 4 Color Front; Blank Back Everything you choose on the order, in one place: - Size. 2" x 3.5", 1.5" x 3.5", 1.75" x 3.5", 2" x 2", 2" x 3", 2.125" x 3.375" or 2.5" x 2.5" - Stock. 16pt Gloss Cover - Ink. 4/0 full color front, or 4/4 full color both sides - Metallic. Metallic foil accent on the front - Coating. No Coating, High Gloss UV or Spot UV on the front - Corners. Square, or rounded at a 1/8" or 1/4" radius - Quantity. 500 to 25,000 across 8 tiers - Files. Your full color CMYK file plus a black and white foil mask - Production. 7 business days, with a free online proof or straight to production Three choices shape how the accent looks on the finished card. #### Print the back, or leave it blank You choose how much of the card carries ink. Run 4 color on the front with a blank back when you want a clean reverse for notes, or print full color on both sides when the back earns its own message, like a map, a QR code or a tagline. The foil accent stays on the front either way. #### Lay a gloss over the shine On top of the gloss stock you can add High Gloss UV across the front for an all-over wet-look finish, or place Spot UV on the front so a raised gloss sits right next to the metallic accent for a two-texture front. For the raised-gloss look on its own, the [Spot UV Business Cards](https://www.4over4.com/product/spot-uv-business-cards) do that without the foil, and the [spot UV printing collection](https://www.4over4.com/spot-uv-printing-collection) gathers every card with a flat or raised gloss. The [raised spot UV business cards video overview](https://www.4over4.com/video/raised-spot-uv-business-cards) shows that finish up close, and the raised foil video shows [metallic print business cards](https://www.4over4.com/video/raised-foil-business-cards) with the foil built up off the surface. #### Design it without a designer Pick a layout from our [business card design templates](https://www.4over4.com/design-templates/business-cards) with one clear logo or name for the foil, mark that element as the metallic accent, then change the colors, copy and logo in the online editor. ### Ready-to-Edit Business Card Design Templates 6 free business card templates to edit online, with orders from $126.32 for 500 - [Ambitious Execution Business Cards](https://www.4over4.com/designer-coming-soon) - From $126.32 for 500 - [Time-saving Quality Business Cards](https://www.4over4.com/designer-coming-soon) - From $126.32 for 500 - [Reinvented Model Business Cards](https://www.4over4.com/designer-coming-soon) - From $126.32 for 500 - [High-performance Execution Business Cards](https://www.4over4.com/designer-coming-soon) - From $126.32 for 500 - [Robust Development Business Cards](https://www.4over4.com/designer-coming-soon) - From $126.32 for 500 - [Winning Infrastructure Business Cards](https://www.4over4.com/designer-coming-soon) - From $126.32 for 500 [Browse more templates](https://www.4over4.com/design-templates/business-cards) Already have artwork?

Spot UV Front Side is one of the coating choices, so you can sit a raised, glassy gloss next to the foil accent and set two textures side by side. Prefer one consistent sheen across the whole front instead? High Gloss UV covers the full face. And if you would rather skip the extra coating, No Coating keeps the plain gloss-cover finish. Set the coating on the configurator, then size the run on the slider below before you decide. For a softer, deep-press take on a metallic edge, the [Raised Foil Business Cards](https://www.4over4.com/product/raised-foil-business-cards) build the shine up off the surface. ### Metallic Business Cards Price By Quantity 500 for $126.32 ( 25.3¢ each) up to 15,000 for $873.21 ( 5.82¢ each) - $126.32 25.3¢ per unit, 500 500 units 15,000, Up to 77% less per unit at 15,000 ### How Much Do Metallic Business Cards Cost Metallic business cards start at $126.32 for a set of 500 on 16pt Gloss Cover stock. The per-card price keeps dropping as the run climbs through 1,000, 2,500 and 5,000, all the way up to 25,000, so a bigger reorder costs far less per card than a small first batch. The ladder runs from $126.32 for 500 through 1,000, 2,500 and 5,000 up to 25,000 cards. The foil stamping setup is part of that first price, so the same setup spread over a larger run brings the cost of each card down. Size the run on the slider above and the set total updates live. ### Tips for a Metallic Card That Prints Clean The foil goes where your mask file says, so build the mask with care. Keep the accent areas bold, since fine hairlines and tiny type do not stamp cleanly in foil, and keep the accent on its own layer so the press knows where the metal goes. Run through the do's and don'ts below before you upload, on resolution, color mode, bleed and the safe margin, and your cards clear preflight on the first try. ## Wally makes the shine work for you Why a metallic foil accent earns the second look every card wants. A stack of 500 metallic business cards starts at $126.32, printed on 16pt gloss with a real foil accent that catches the light. Hand one over and the shine moves, so people look twice. Pick your size, mark the accent, and Wally gets them printed and finished for you. ### Print-Ready Metallic Business Cards Every Time 12 file checks for Metallic Business Cards before you upload ✓ Do - Export at 300 DPI: Place every logo and photo at 300 DPI so print stays sharp, not pixelated - Use CMYK color: Convert files to CMYK before upload so screen colors match the print - Add full bleed: Pull background art a little past the trim so nothing ends with a white edge - Respect the safe margin: Keep text and logos inside the safe margin on 2" x 3.5" so nothing important gets cut - Outline your fonts: Outline or embed every font so your type never reflows or swaps on press - Match the finish: The default finish here is No Coating, so judge your colors against it ✕ Don't - Skip low-res logos: Never pull a web-quality logo into a print file, it prints soft and blurry - Avoid RGB files: RGB shifts on press, so colors print duller than they looked on screen - Keep text off the edge: Text in the bleed zone gets sliced off when the piece is trimmed - Do not clutter both sides: Cramming every inch buries your message, give the key line room to breathe - No flattened-away layers: Save a print-ready PDF so transparency and effects survive the rip - Mind the rounded corners: Rounded corners eat the outer edge, so keep art clear of the curve ### How Do They Compare to the Rest of the Range A stamped accent on 16pt gloss costs less than a full metal face. Weighing it against a full-foil face, a raised treatment or a soft laminate? The chart below lines up metallic business cards against their closest siblings, from a full-foil face to the velvety [Silk Laminated Business Cards](https://www.4over4.com/product/silk-laminated-business-cards), with the starting price of each. ### The smart pick in business cards Metallic Business Cards beside Standard Business Cards, Kraft Business Cards, Die-Cut Business Cards, out of 135 business cards styles $17.57 [Standard Business Cards](https://www.4over4.com/product/standard-business-cards), and 73 more at this price, the cheapest way into the category - Most-reviewed style in the category, 2,866 reviews, free business cards, the category's top-reviewed pick at 4.9★ | | Metallic Business Cards | Standard Business Cards | Kraft Business Cards | Die-Cut Business Cards | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Min price | $126.32 | $17.57 | $24.75 | $26.37 | | Paper / stock | 16pt Gloss Cover | 14pt Gloss Cover | 18pt Kraft Uncoated Cover (100% PCW) | 14pt Gloss Cover | | Finish | · | Standard Finish | · | Standard Finish | | Default qty | 500 | 100 | 100 | 100 | | Turnaround | 7 business days | 3 business days | 5 business days | 3 business days | | Rating | ★ 5.0 (103) | ★ 4.9 (303) | ★ 4.7 (6) | ★ 4.9 (107) | ### Are Metal Business Cards a Good Idea A metal card is a good idea when you hand out a few cards that must last, and a metallic accent card is the better fit for everyday networking.

The card prints in full color on bright 16pt Gloss Cover, then a real Metallic Foil Accent is stamped on the front. The foil sits only where you place it, on a logo, a name or a single shape, so it catches the light while the rest of the card stays clean and readable. ### What sizes do metallic business cards come in? Seven sizes. The classic 2" x 3.5" standard, a 2.125" x 3.375" credit card size, a 1.5" x 3.5" slim card, plus 1.75" x 3.5" and 2" x 3" cuts and 2" x 2" and 2.5" x 2.5" squares. The 2" x 3.5" is the default. ### Can I add Spot UV or a gloss coating? Yes. You get three coating choices: No Coating, High Gloss UV across the front, or Spot UV on the front so a raised gloss sits next to the metallic accent for a two-texture finish. You can also add rounded corners at a 1/8" or 1/4" radius. ### Can I print the back of the card too? Yes. Pick 4/4 to print full color on both sides of the 16pt Gloss Cover, or 4/0 to leave the back blank. The Metallic Foil Accent and the Spot UV coating option both sit on the front, so the back is plain full color print for a phone number, an address or a QR code. ### How long do metallic business cards take to print? Plan on 7 business days for metallic business cards, since the foil stamping pass runs after the full color print on the 16pt Gloss Cover, and add shipping on top when you count back from a launch or a trade show. A free online proof is available, so you can sign off on the layout and the accent placement before the job runs. Questions about Metallic Business Cards?
