Hand Over a Card Cut From Metal
People stop and look at this card, because the stock itself is 28pt Shiny Aluminum, silk-laminated on both sides. The surface has a metal shine and the lamination keeps it smooth to the touch. We print your full-color artwork over that reflective base, so light catches the design in a way plain card stock cannot.
A metal stock with a silk lamination costs more than ink on paper, and the card feels heavier and brighter in the hand for it. For a solid metal card, see our metal business cards. Every card style we print is on business cards printing; the choices below build this one.
There are only 4 tiers on this card, 250, 500, 1,000 and 2,000, so the choice is quick: 250 cost about $1.11 each, and 2,000 bring each card near $0.33. The tiers below give the set total at each.
What Are Silk Aluminum Foil Business Cards
Silk aluminum foil business cards are full-color cards printed on a 28pt Shiny Aluminum stock and silk-laminated on both sides, which gives a metallic, mirror-like surface. At 4OVER4.COM they print in 3 sizes with 4/0, 4/1 or 4/4 ink, and you can add foil stamping, embossing, raised spot UV and edge painting on top. Luxury brands, jewelers, designers and executives order a metal card when the card is part of the pitch. Our guide to custom metal cards, how they are built and who should carry one goes further. If you want that smooth premium feel without the metal base, the Silk Laminated Business Cards carry the same soft lamination across a paper stock, and the Metallic Foil Business Cards sit right beside this one as a close metallic cousin.
What Size Should a Silk Aluminum Foil Card Be
On a reflective card the size changes how much metal shows. The standard 2" x 3.5" fits a wallet and a cardholder, with room for a foil logo and your details. The 1.5" x 3.5" slim card shows a narrow strip of chrome, and the 2.5" x 2.5" square gives a foil stamp or a QR code a larger field of metal around it. For something in between, set a custom size up to 3" x 4". The 3 sizes, the aluminum stock and the finishes appear below in the configurator's order.
Three choices decide how an aluminum card looks.
Let the metal do the talking
The 28pt Shiny Aluminum base already carries a chrome-like shine, so a calm, minimal layout reads loudest against it. Reserve your boldest element for a foil stamp or a raised spot UV accent and let the reflective surface fill the rest. For a heavier, foil-forward take on the same premium idea, the Fat Foil Business Cards build the shine into a thicker board.
Stack a second layer of shine
Foil stamping, embossing and raised spot UV each add a finish you can feel against the metal base: foil catches metallic light, spot UV adds a wet-looking gloss, and embossing rises off the surface. Painted edges wrap a band of color around the rim.
Design it without a designer
Start from a layout in our business card design templates and set your name, logo and colors in the online editor. Leave open space around the logo: the aluminum shows through wherever you do not print, and one strong element reads best on it.

Wally hands you a card cut from metal
Why a $276.63 stack of aluminum cards gets kept, not tossed.
Silk aluminum foil business cards start at $276.63 for 250 and print on real 28pt Shiny Aluminum, silk-laminated on both sides for a polished metal shine. Pick a size, print full color, then add foil stamping, embossing, raised spot UV, or painted edges, and Wally hands you a card people hold onto.
What Finishes Can You Add
Every card prints on one stock, a 28pt Shiny Aluminum silk-laminated on both sides, and the finishes are where you make it yours. Foil stamping presses metallic foil onto the front, the back or both sides for a second, brighter layer of shine. Embossing raises an element off the surface so you can feel it. Raised spot UV adds a clear, glossy accent on the front, the back or both. Edge painting lays a band of color around the rim of the card. Set your ink to 4/0 for full color on the front with a blank back, 4/1 for a black back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides, then send the job straight to production or ask for a free online proof so you see every finish before the press runs.

Silk Aluminum Foil Business Cards: Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a real metal card or paper with a metallic coating?
The stock is 28pt Shiny Aluminum, silk-laminated on both sides, so the reflective surface is the card itself rather than a printed effect on paper. Full color artwork prints over that metal base, which is what lets highlights sit on a genuinely metallic ground.
How many cards do I have to order?
The smallest set is 250 cards at $276.63, about $1.11 each. The per-card price drops toward $0.33 as the run climbs to 2,000, so a larger order narrows the gap with a standard card considerably.
What sizes can I choose?
There are 3 sizes: the standard 2 inch by 3.5 inch card, a 1.5 inch by 3.5 inch slim cut, and a 2.5 inch by 2.5 inch square. A custom size is also available up to 3 inches by 4 inches.
What decoration can be added on top of the metal stock?
Foil stamping can go on the front, the back, or both, and embossing, raised spot UV, and painted edges are all offered. Those sit over full-color printing, which runs 4/0, 4/1, or 4/4 depending on whether the back is blank, one color, or full color.
Does the lamination change how the card feels?
Yes. The silk lamination on both sides keeps the surface smooth to the touch while the aluminum underneath still carries the shine. It is the reason the card reads polished rather than raw metal in the hand.
How long does production take?
Standard turnaround is 10 business days. The metal stock, the lamination, and any foil, embossing, or edge painting are separate passes, which is why this run takes longer than a plain printed card, so order well ahead of an event.
