What is edge painting and how does it work?

Edge painting is a finishing option that adds a band of color to the cut edges of a printed piece, most often thick business cards. It turns the exposed paper edge into a design accent.

• How it works: color is applied to the edges after cutting, so the sliver of paper around the card shows your chosen shade.
• Best on thick stock: the effect is most striking on heavy cards where the edge is visible and substantial.
• Availability: offered as an add-on for qualifying products, with the edge color specified at order time.

It is a small detail that reads as premium, giving an otherwise flat card a distinctive pop. Contact support to confirm availability and pricing for your specific product.
