Premium Foil Business Cards

Foil adds great depth and dimension to your card. We offer two variations of foil products, including Inline Foil (Image Below)  and traditional Hot Foil Stamping, also called Stamped Foil.

Foil Stamping is the application of color or metallic foil to stock paper using a heated die. The die then presses the foil onto the surface under high pressure. This leaves the design of the die on the card stock. Select from a variety of foil colors to truly make a one-of-a-kind card.

There are advantages to printing foil-stamped cards. By adding foil to your cards or other printed business materials, potential customers may place a higher value on your business and products. These cards will also grab potential clients’ attention as they are simple, affordable, and eye-catching.

Traditional foil stamping is available on your choice of 16PT silk laminated card stock or 14PT uncoated card stock. The inline foil is printed on 16PT C2S card stock and is available with Flood UV coating, Spot UV, or no coating.

Plastic Cards

Along with the paper standard business card, we offer plastic business card printing too. Plastic cards have become an alternative to the standard card because of how durable they are, making them less likely to deteriorate over time. Plus, the cards are waterproof and tear-proof.

You can select from our 20PT Clear, Frosted, or White plastic cards. These plastic cards are ideal for loyalty cards, gift cards, VIP cards, and membership cards. Below is an example of our white plastic business cards.
