They’re eye-catching.

If you’re going to rely on a single part of your identity to make a good first impression, you want it to be memorable. Foiled cards are eye-catching because they’re not only shiny, but also because of their unusual appearance. The shiny, reflective surface of a foiled business card catches the eye and demands attention. It also makes an impression because foiled cards aren’t something everyone has or uses.

They have durability.

Foiled business cards are built to last. Unlike traditional cards, their thick, resilient surface can withstand the rigors of everyday use, making them perfect for carrying in pockets or wallets. Printed on high-quality card stock, foiled cards offer exceptional durability and a sleek, professional look.

They show quality.

If you want to show your customers and clients that you go above and beyond to provide them with the best experience they could possibly have, then you should consider foiling your business cards. A foiled card is a sign that you take pride in your business and have invested in making sure your brand and products look (and last) as good as possible. Foiling is a premium option, and while it can be more expensive than a standard card, it is worth the investment.

They’re easy to recognize and find.

If your cards are eye-catching, durable and show quality, but no one ever finds the time to use them, then they’re not doing their job. Foiled cards are easy to find and recognize because of their unique, shiny surface. They stand out from regular business cards and are therefore much easier to find when someone is rifling through the cards in their wallet or sitting on their desk.

They communicate confidence and professionalism.

Business cards are an important part of building trust, earning respect and making good first impressions. Foiled are often associated with luxury brands, and so they communicate confidence and professionalism. The sleek, shiny surface of a business card made with foiling gives off an air of sophistication and elegance.

The cost of foiled business cards is relatively low.

As we’ve already discussed, foiling is a premium option. Foiled business cards offer a significant upgrade without breaking the bank. While the cost can vary depending on the brand and specific options, foiling is generally a relatively affordable investment compared to the benefits it provides. At The Print Shop, you can expect to pay as little as R250 for a set of 50 foiled business cards.

Conclusion

When you’re designing your business cards, consider investing in foiling. It’s an investment that will last and endure long after you’ve forgotten about the cards themselves. Foiling will make your cards even more eye-catching and memorable, as well as easier to find and use. It will communicate confidence and professionalism, as well as show that you’ve invested in quality and lasting products. For the most part, people don’t expect foiled business cards. Therefore, when someone receives one, it instantly stands out from the crowd and makes a memorable first impression. Foiling is a premium option that is worth every penny.

PVC business cards are versatile and durable, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Their high-quality graphics and resistance to wear and tear ensure they stand out and last. The result is that such cards are a lot more visible and have a lot of uses which makes them excellent options for a wide range of businesses. PVC business card printing makes for excellent options for a wide range of businesses in different industries and niches and most especially for businesses that work with water.

This is because plastic cards made from PVC business card printing technologies are a lot more durable than standard business cards. They are very less likely to get damaged and they actually tend to look very good over the course of time, regardless of the normal wear and tear. On top of all this, plastic cards made from PVC business card printing technologies are highly resistant to water damage and they don’t even fade that much. This is perhaps the main reason why most businesses that run their operations outside often tend to go for plastic cards over standard paper stock cards. Here we are referring to businesses like gardening businesses, plumbing businesses, water parks, boat operators and such.

Foiled business cards are the best possible way to attract attention and deliver essential information. That’s because foiled business cards catch the light perfectly, which naturally draws the eye to what matters most. With years of experience producing balanced and intricate foil prints, our designers know exactly how to create elegant, attention-grabbing foiled business cards that people genuinely love to own and share. For the best results when foiling your artwork, trust experienced designers.

Foil Printing

Foil printing uses heat and a solid foil colour to press and highlight the important details on your business cards such as your logo. The solid opaque foil means you can print light colours on to dark stocks, but also get amazing shiny metallic finishes. This technique ensures the best results when highlighting various artwork elements with foil.

How to Start: Work in CMYK color mode and set the resolution to 300 DPI. For best results when foiling, always maintain this standard to ensure clarity and precision.

Dimensions & Bleed: Your starting document size for standard business cards should be 92.125mm x 54.02mm. The final size after cutting will be 88.9mm x 50.8mm. Document safe size is 85.77mm x 47.67mm. Make sure to keep all text within the safe area. For custom sized business cards, add .125 of bleed to the desired finished size. For example, a 2.5 x 2.5 square business card, your starting document size should be 2.627 x 2.627. The final cut size would be 2.5 x 2.5. The safe size is 2.377 x 2.377. Correct dimensioning is crucial to achieve the best results for foiling your intricate artwork.

The Foil: You must include a foil mask file in addition to the regular full color file. The foil mask file lets us know what parts of your design you want in foil.  If you are purchasing foil stamping on both sides of your business card, you will need two foil mask files—one for each side. In the foil mask file, use 100% black (C: 0% M 0% Y:0% K:100%). This indicates where you want the foil to be. Leave everything else white—white indicates no foil. Be sure that the foil areas are NOT visible within your artwork file and ONLY visible within the mask file. There is a 1/16-inch margin of error with foil. We do not suggest printing small or very thin fonts in foil. For the best results with your foil artwork, follow these guidelines carefully.
