Are there any guidelines for using raised foil in my business card design? Is there anything I should avoid?

When adding raised foil to your business card design, we recommend keeping the following points in mind: - Use a minimum 10 pt font size to prevent blending or smudging between letters. - Avoid using fonts that are extremely thin or the ones that have very small spaces in between (or even inside) letters. These may not give you the crispest printing results> - Avoid adding foil to very fine details or double-lined borders. These might smudge when being printed and affect the clarity and precision of your overall design. - Make sure all foil-printed parts remain fully within the design safety area for proper printing and cutting of your cards.

I’m so happy with how my business cards turned out! The foil printing is such high-quality. Last time I had business cards done with a different company they weren’t anywhere near as good as these ones and I was able to design the whole card myself this time! The whole process was so easy and seamless and they were delivered super quick highly recommend.

Perfect, just what I needed.

I thought business cards were just something you handed out and forgot about — then I ordered Vistaprint’s foil cards. These things don’t whisper professionalism; they shine it in your face. The foil detail gives my brand the kind of confidence usually reserved for luxury labels. The cardstock feels solid, the foil is razor-clean, and every person I hand one to pauses for a split second — that tiny moment when the admire my card and realise I’m not here to play small. If you want a card that does more than introduce you — one that upgrades the whole first impression — go foil. Foil and be happy.

No more guesswork. We take care of the entire design process, from brainstorming ideas to delivering the files to your account.

Our raised foil is available in two different colours: gold and silver. However, please note that you can select only one foil colour at a time.
