Question

Do sandwich business cards work with special finishes like foil or embossing?

Answer

Absolutely. The outer layers of a sandwich card are premium stock in their own right, so they accept the full range of specialty finishes just like any high-end card.

  • Compatible finishes include spot UV, foil stamping, embossing, debossing, and soft-touch lamination.
  • You can combine a finish on the faces with a bold colored core for a striking edge contrast.
  • Layering a tactile finish over the thick body creates a multi-sensory card that flat stock cannot match.
  • Popular pairings are foil on the front with a contrasting core color, or soft-touch faces with a bright edge.

The thick, rigid body actually shows off raised and stamped finishes beautifully, since there is plenty of substance behind them.
