Question
How does metallic pearl compare to foil printing?
Answer
Both add a metallic look, but they do it in opposite ways. Foil is targeted while pearl is all over, and many designs use them together.
| Feature | Metallic pearl | Foil printing |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | soft shimmer across the whole surface | metallic layer on specific areas |
| Effect | subtle and comprehensive | bold and targeted |
| Typical use | entire card or invitation | logo, lettering, or accents |
For maximum impact, many customers combine the two: a metallic pearl stock with a foil-stamped logo on top.
