What exactly is Wonderfoil printing?

Wonderfoil printing uses a metallic substrate as the base material instead of standard paper. Your artwork is printed directly onto that reflective surface, so a mirror-like sheen shows through the lighter areas of your design.

• Metallic foundation: the entire piece sits on a reflective base rather than just carrying accents.
• Shine through light areas: wherever the ink is lighter or absent, the metallic surface shows through and gleams.
• Different from foil stamping: foil stamping only adds metallic to specific spots, while this gives you a full metallic backdrop.

The takeaway: with a metallic-base finish the whole card has shine built in, not just selected highlights.
