Otherwise, the foil will be wavy and won't look good. The only time a 50% to 70% coverage is acceptable is with patterns, thin strokes or small shapes. The raised foil file must be a vector art created in a vector based program such as illustrator. Otherwise you won't have sharp edges on the artwork if you use a raster image for the raised foil mask file. We do not recommend having fonts smaller than 10 pt on the Raised Foil Artwork. However if you use fonts with thicker strokes or bold fonts, we do not recommend having fonts smaller than 12pt. ## See Raised Foil Postcards in action A 4" x 6" or 5" x 7" postcard on 16pt velvet laminated cover with raised gold, silver or holographic foil, front or both sides, from $299 per 100 on a 7 business day turnaround.

The panel below shows the ink, foil color and foil side choices the way the configurator groups them. ### Raised Foil Postcards , Configured Your Way 4 option groups, 9 choices, defaults: 4/0: 4 Color Front; Blank Back, Raised Gold Foil, Foil On Front ### Which Raised Foil Color Should You Pick Match the foil to the brand. Gold reads warm, a fit for a salon, a jeweler or a wedding. Silver reads modern and suits a clean logo. Holographic splits light into a moving rainbow as the card tilts. Keep the foil on the front to leave the back clean for an address panel, or run it across both sides when the whole card is the show. [Raised Holographic Postcards](https://www.4over4.com/product/raised-holographic-postcards) are the same card with holographic as the only foil. #### Design it without a designer Keep the foiled area tight: one bold mark reads better in raised foil than a busy field. Start from a layout in our [postcard design templates](https://www.4over4.com/design-templates/postcards), mark the shape you want raised, then swap in your colors, copy and logo in the online editor and let the velvet base carry the rest. If your art is ready, download a blank. Each [blank raised foil postcard template](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/raised-foil-postcards) is drawn at the real trim size with the bleed and safe margin marked, and it has a separate layer for the raised foil. Place your art, draw the foil shapes on that layer and upload. ### Press-Ready Blank Templates 1 blank layout, at 4" x 6", with the cut and safe margins marked - [Raised Foil Postcards 4" x 6" · from $299.00 for 100](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/raised-foil-postcards) [Browse more](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/raised-foil-postcards) ### How Much Do Raised Foil Postcards Cost At 250 the set costs $349, about $1.40 a card, and 500 run $559, about $1.12 a card.
