Question
Does metallic stock cost a lot more than regular paper?
Answer
Metallic stock costs a bit more than standard cardstock, but the premium is modest and it is far cheaper than adding a metallic effect after printing.
- The upcharge over plain cardstock is small on a per-piece basis
- It costs much less than foil stamping or specialty post-press finishes
- The per-unit price drops as your quantity climbs
- Even a run of a few hundred pieces stays practical for a small business
Because the shimmer is built into the paper itself, you get an all-over metallic effect without paying for a separate finishing pass.
