Question
What is edge painting?
Answer
Edge painting uses special-mixed paints applied to cover the entire edge, or side, of a card. It is usually applied to thicker stocks of 32pt or higher so there is enough surface on the edge to hold the color and make it stand out.
- Where it goes: around the outer edges of the card, framing the printed faces.
- Best on thick stock: 32pt and heavier gives the edge enough depth for a bold band of color.
- The effect: a striking color border that signals a premium, custom card.
- Good for: luxury business cards and high-end invitations.
