Foil Printing Collection

Gold, Silver and Copper Foil on Cards, Flyers and Folders

Foil printing presses a thin metallic film onto 14pt Uncoated or 16 point silk laminated card, so a logo in gold, silver, copper, rose gold, red, black or blue catches the light as the piece moves in someone's hand. Raised foil adds a layer you can feel, in gold, silver or holographic, on 16pt velvet laminated card. Across this collection you'll find those metallic shades applied to the products businesses hand out.

4OVER4.COM prints foil across cards, flyers, labels, letterheads, folders, postcards, and invitations, and its work across all products carries more than 10,000 reviews at a 4.8 out of 5 star rating. Whether you need 100 raised foil cards or 5,000 flat foil ones, every order runs through the same quality checks.

Foil Print Sizes, Stocks and Starting Prices

A foil print starts with the product. Foil Business Cards come in 2 by 3.5 inch standard, 1.5 by 3.5 inch slim, 2.5 by 2.5 inch square and 2.125 by 3.375 inch credit card sizes, from 500 for $222.13. Foil Flyers, Foil Wedding Invitations and Metallic Foil Postcards print at 4 by 6 to 5 by 7 inches. Raised Foil Business Cards start at 100 for $86.78, and Fat Foil Business Cards put gold or silver foil on 32pt UltraWhite Uncoated Cover from 250 for $240.55.

Choose foil on the front, the back or both sides, then the color. Most foil products take 7 or 9 business days to produce and the raised foil pocket folders take 10, because each sheet goes through a separate stamping pass after the ink.

How Foil Differs From Metallic Ink

Foil isn't ink. The process uses heat and pressure to bond a genuine metallic film to the stock, which is why a foil piece feels different in your hand and reads differently under any light. Metallic inks approximate a shimmer. Foil gives you a true mirror-like finish that changes with the angle you hold it.

That reflectivity is the whole point. It's what makes foil the go-to for luxury branding, high-end events, and any moment where the first impression carries weight.

Customer Favorites in Foil

Three foil products carry the most customer reviews in this collection, each past 100. Metallic Foil Postcards and Metallic Foil Business Cards put flat silver, gold or five other foil colors on 16 point silk laminated or 14pt Uncoated card, on the front, the back or both sides, from 500 pieces. Raised Foil Business Cards lift silver, gold or holographic foil off 16pt velvet laminated card, so the logo stands up under a fingertip, from 100 cards for $86.78.

For mail and events, the postcards and Foil Wedding Invitations carry the same seven flat foil colors at 4 by 6, 4.25 by 5.5, 4.25 by 6 or 5 by 7 inches. Silver reads cool and modern on a navy or black design, while gold warms up cream and white stock. Raised Foil Greeting Cards fold from 10 by 7 to 5 by 7 inches and come in 100 to 500 pieces, the right count for a holiday client list.

What You Can Create in Foil

Start from the job. A realtor's card for luxury listings works as a 2 by 3.5 inch Foil Business Card with a silver logo on the front. A wedding suite pairs Foil Wedding Invitations at 5 by 7 inches with Raised Foil Greeting Cards as thank you notes. A retail label or tag line gets Metallic Foil Hangtags, from 1.5 by 3.5 up to 4 by 6 inches.

A pitch meeting calls for Raised Foil Pocket Folders at 9 by 12 inches, from 50 for $1,037.97, with gold, silver, rose gold or red foil covering up to 10% of the folder. Foil Flyers carry a menu launch or a gallery opening at 4 by 6 or 5 by 7 inches. Pick the product, upload your art with the foil on its own layer, and approve the proof.

The Range in This Collection

The collection spans a lot of formats. Foil Business Cards and Metallic Foil Business Cards cover everyday networking, while Fat Foil Business Cards add ultra-thick stock for cards that stand out in a stack. Raised Foil Business Cards, Raised Foil Greeting Cards, and Raised Foil Postcards give the metal a dimensional lift you can feel.

For events, Foil Wedding Invitations and Raised Foil Suede Greeting Cards bring the finish to the table.

Who Reaches for Foil

Real estate agents use foil-stamped cards to signal attention to detail on high-end listings. Wedding and event planners lean on gold and copper foil to set the tone across invitations and place cards before a guest reads a word. Beauty and fashion brands add foil to labels and hang tags so a small line looks premium on a crowded shelf, and startups reach for Fat Foil Business Cards to make a networking event count.

Designing for Foil

Foil rewards bold, solid shapes. Thin lines under a point and small type under 8pt can lose definition during stamping, so keep foil for your logo, a monogram, a border, or one hero graphic rather than paragraphs of body copy. Contrast does the rest: gold on white, silver on navy, and copper on a matte background all make the metal pop.

Set foil elements on their own layer in your design file, usually as a spot color. Less is more here. One clean accent draws the eye, while foil on everything turns into visual noise.
