Ever wondered how foil business cards are done? I am referring to those business cards with shiny metallic shiny elements in different colors. These cards undergo a process called hot foil printing. This process involves the individual application of a very thin layer of foil onto the cards. The foil can be in many colors or in any particular color that you want. Foil stamped business cards available in silver, gold, red, blue or green colors. You can also choose from matte, gloss, metallic and impressive looking prismatic. These foils are applied to an item by a mixture of pressure and heat.
Most materials can be printed with hot foil, paper, card, wood, plastics, leather, cork, PVC and this has contributed to the varied and exciting range of blank products to print. Along with the foil stamp upgrade, silk laminate, spot gloss UV highlights, and die-cutting can also be used in conjunction to create a truly elegant and classy feel to any printed piece. The decorative foil adds an eye-catching shine to highlight important parts of your business card.
