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.

Really happy

We got some VIP cards printed with gold foil on the front. Very happy with how they turned out, the texture is nice & the emboss from the gold has good fidelity (it printed down to 0. 2mm points without looking blotchy) In terms of support live chat was helpful & the turnaround was really quick.
