Hand Over a Card That Catches the Light
Turn this card in the light and it glints where a heated die has pressed a thin layer of genuine metallic foil into the stock, bonding a bright, reflective element right into the surface so your logo, monogram, or border catches every light in the room. On a smooth silk-laminated or natural uncoated stock that metal shine reads as deliberate and expensive, the kind of card that ends up on a desk instead of in a drawer. A set of 500 foil stamped business cards starts at $222.13, rated 4.9 out of 5.
The die presses the foil into the card, so the metal sits flat in the stock and flashes as the card tilts. On a law firm or salon card, a foiled logo tells the client the business behind it is established. The raised foil, metallic and spot UV styles sit with every other card on business cards printing; the choices for this card follow below.
Foil stamped cards start at 500, $222.13 or about 44 cents a card. A full order for a launch or a rebrand costs far less per card than a small test batch, and the 8 tiers below give the set total for each count.
What are foil stamped business cards
A foil stamped business card carries a design pressed on in real metallic foil, not printed ink, so it reflects light like a mirror. At 4OVER4 foil stamped cards print full color on a 16pt silk-laminated or 14pt uncoated stock, in 4 sizes, with foil set in 7 colors on the front, back, or both sides, all chosen on this page.
Foil stamping is a finish that goes on after the print. A heated die presses a thin layer of metallic foil onto the stock, bonding a bright, reflective element into the card, so your logo or border catches every light in the room. Because the foil is genuine metal leaf rather than a shiny ink, the shine is deeper and cleaner than any print can fake. If you want the foil to stand up off the surface with a raised texture, the Raised Foil Business Cards add dimension, and for an all-over metallic sheen across the whole card the Metallic Foil Business Cards cover that.
What sizes and stocks can you choose
4OVER4 foil stamped business cards come in 4 sizes: the standard 2 by 3.5 inch, a 2.125 by 3.375 inch credit card size, a 1.5 by 3.5 inch slim cut, and a 2.5 by 2.5 inch social square, with custom sizing up to 3 by 4 inch. Stock choices are a 16 Point Silk Laminated or a 14pt Uncoated Cover, and ink prints 4/0, 4/1, or 4/4. For the silk laminated stock without the foil, see our silk laminated business cards.
Start with the size. The standard 2 by 3.5 inch card drops straight into any wallet or cardholder, the 2.125 by 3.375 inch credit card size mirrors a real card in the hand, the 1.5 by 3.5 inch slim cut reads leaner and modern, and the 2.5 by 2.5 inch social square stands out in a stack. For anything else, set a custom size up to 3 by 4 inch. Then the stock, which decides how the foil reads. The 16 Point Silk Laminated has a smooth, soft coated surface that sets bright foil against a matte body, while the 14pt Uncoated Cover is a natural, writable stock where the metal shine contrasts against a warmer paper. The chart below lists the 4 sizes, the 2 stocks, and every foil and finishing option.

What foil colors and finishes can you add
Beyond the base foil, 4OVER4 foil stamped business cards offer 7 foil colors, led by gold, silver, and copper, placed on the front, back, or both sides. You can also add an optional spot UV gloss on the front, back, or both, and set your ink coverage, so a single card can carry metallic foil, a glossy spot layer, and full color print together.
The foil is the headline. You get 7 metallic colors to work with, starting with classic gold, cool silver, and warm copper, and you decide where the foil lands: the front, the back, or both sides. Keep it to a logo and a name for a restrained luxury look, or run a foil border for something bolder. On top of the foil you can layer a spot UV gloss, set to none, the front, the back, or both sides, which drops a clear high-shine coat over a chosen element so it glints even where there is no foil. If a glossy spot finish is all you are after, the Spot UV Business Cards focus on exactly that. For foil layouts other brands have used, see our creative business card design ideas that make a lasting impression.
Design it without a designer
Start from a layout in our business card design templates, thousands of free designs across the business card range, and change the colors, copy, and logo in the online editor. Mark the foil on one solid element, a logo, a monogram or a border, since a bold, clean shape stamps far better than fine detail or hairline type.
Ready-to-Edit Business Card Design Templates
If your artwork is finished, skip the editor and download a press-ready blank. Each blank foil stamped business card template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design stays clear of the cut. Take the size that matches your order below, place your art, and upload.

How fast can you get foil stamped business cards printed
Foil stamped cards run on a single 7 business day schedule. Each order gets its own foil die, then the heat press and any spot UV you add, all in our own plant. Before anything runs, you choose how to approve the file: send it straight to production to save a step, or request a free online proof and sign off on the layout first, which is the safer path on a premium card where the foil placement is permanent. 4OVER4 has printed since 1999 with 99.8% of orders arriving on time, so the date you are quoted is the date you can plan around.
Who are foil stamped business cards for
A foil stamped card is for the moment when the handoff should feel like an event. Law firms and financial advisors use it because polished metal reads as established and serious. Designers, studios, and salons use it because a gold or copper accent is part of the brand. Real estate agents, photographers, and event planners reach for it on high-value clients where a flat card would undersell the work, and couples use it for wedding and save-the-date stationery that guests keep. Each time a client turns the card over, the foil catches the light again.

Foil Stamped Business Cards: Frequently Asked Questions
What is foil stamping and how is it different from printing metallic ink?
Foil stamping presses a thin layer of genuine metallic foil into the stock with a heated die, bonding real metal to the surface. That is why it reflects light the way printed metallic ink cannot. The foil sits exactly where your die is made, so it is used for a logo, a monogram, type, or a border rather than a full photographic image.
What is the minimum order and starting price?
The minimum is 500 cards, starting at $222.13. That works out to about 44 cents a card at the smallest run, and the per-card cost slides to roughly 13 cents as the quantity climbs to 25,000. The die and stamping process is why the entry price sits above a standard printed card.
Which foil colors can I choose?
There are 7 foil colors, led by gold, silver and copper. You choose the foil side as well, so the foil can appear on the front, the back, or on both sides of the card.
What stocks are available for foil stamped cards?
Two stocks are offered, both chosen to take foil cleanly: a 16 Point Silk Laminated with a smooth coated surface, and a 14pt Uncoated Cover with a natural matte feel. Silk laminated gives a sleeker contrast against bright foil, while uncoated makes the metal read warmer against a paper texture.
How long does production take for these cards?
Standard production is 7 business days, longer than a plain printed card because a die has to be made and each sheet is stamped. An online proof is available as a proof option if you want to check the layout before it goes to press. Shipping time is added on top of production.
Can I combine foil with spot UV or rounded corners?
Yes. Spot UV and rounded corners are both selectable options alongside the foil, so you can put a glossy raised varnish on one element and metal foil on another. Sizes include the standard 2 inch by 3.5 inch, a 2.125 inch by 3.375 inch credit card size, a 1.5 inch by 3.5 inch slim cut and a 2.5 inch by 2.5 inch social square, with custom sizes up to 3 inches by 4 inches.
