Important Artwork Notice!
With Metallic Accent products, a.k.a. WonderFoil, you can turn a wide range of CMYK colors, into multi-colored foils. When doing a metallic postcard, sticker, business card, etc., a foil mask must be created and uploaded with your full color CMYK file. The file for the "metallic" mask MUST ONLY be black and white (100% Black).
100% Black in the areas you want the foil, and white (0%) in the areas you do not want the foil. Click for more info.
Metallic Flyers That Demand a Second Look
Metallic Flyers are printed on specialty paper stock with a built-in metallic sheen that catches light and turns heads. 4OVER4 prints these flyers with rich, full-color CMYK on paper that already shimmers - so your design pops off the page before anyone reads a single word. With 150,000+ businesses trusting 4OVER4 for print, you're in good company.
Think about the last flyer someone handed you. Did you keep it? Probably not. That's the problem Metallic Flyers solve. The reflective surface creates a tactile, eye-catching piece that people actually hold onto. It's the difference between ending up in someone's pocket and ending up on the ground.
"We switched to Metallic Flyers for our grand opening event and the response was night and day. People were stopping to ask where we got them printed. That never happened with our old flyers."
- Derek L., Restaurant Owner
Whether you're promoting a product launch, a seasonal sale, a nightclub event, or a real estate open house - the metallic finish gives your message an instant upgrade. The shimmering surface works especially well with bold typography, dark backgrounds, and minimalist designs where the metallic effect can really breathe.
You don't need to be a designer to get started. Use the Online Designer to build your Metallic Flyers from scratch or upload your own print-ready files. Either way, 4OVER4 handles the heavy lifting - prepress review, precision cutting, and careful packaging.

Paper Stocks Behind the Metallic Shine
The material is what makes Metallic Flyers special. Unlike standard flyers where you add a coating after printing, metallic paper stock has a built-in reflective layer woven into the substrate itself. This means the shimmer isn't sitting on top of your ink - it's part of the paper.
4OVER4 uses premium metallic paper that balances print fidelity with that signature glow. Colors print rich and saturated on the metallic surface, though they'll look slightly different than on white paper. That's by design. The metallic base adds warmth and depth to every hue, giving your artwork a luminous quality you can't replicate on standard stock.
"The metallic paper gave our salon flyers this gorgeous, almost iridescent quality. Our brand colors looked completely different - in the best way possible. Clients thought we spent a fortune."
- Priya K., Salon Owner
The paper itself has a smooth, sturdy feel. It's thick enough to hold up in a stack or a display rack without curling or bending. You'll notice the weight immediately when you pick one up - it feels premium because it is.
Dark designs with pops of color tend to look incredible on metallic stock. The reflective base peeks through lighter areas of your design, creating a natural shimmer effect. Solid black areas appear deep and rich. White ink isn't used - instead, the metallic surface itself acts as your lightest tone.
4OVER4 recommends requesting free paper samples before placing a large order so you can see and feel the metallic stock firsthand. What looks good on screen can look even better in your hands.
Where Metallic Flyers Make the Biggest Impact
Metallic Flyers aren't just pretty. They're strategic. The reflective finish signals quality and grabs attention in situations where standard flyers get overlooked. Here's how real businesses put them to work.
Nightlife and Entertainment Promotions
Club promoters and event planners love Metallic Flyers because the shimmer catches light in dim environments. A stack of these on a bar counter or handed out on a busy street stands out instantly. The metallic surface practically glows under venue lighting.
Real Estate Open Houses
Real estate agents use Metallic Flyers to showcase luxury listings. The premium feel of the paper matches the premium properties they're selling. A metallic flyer on a kitchen counter tells potential buyers this agent takes presentation seriously.
Beauty and Fashion Launches
Salons, spas, and boutiques use Metallic Flyers for new service announcements, product launches, and seasonal promotions. The shimmering finish aligns perfectly with beauty branding - it feels aspirational without being over the top.
Corporate Events and Galas
For fundraisers, award ceremonies, and VIP gatherings, Metallic Flyers serve as upscale invitations or event programs. They set the tone before guests even walk through the door.
Holiday and Seasonal Campaigns
The metallic effect is a natural fit for holiday marketing - think New Year's Eve parties, holiday sales, and anniversary celebrations. 4OVER4 prints these fast enough to keep up with seasonal deadlines.
