Embossing, Foil and Edge Work by the Numbers
Embossed Business Cards press on 32pt or 48pt silk or velvet laminated stock in 2 x 3.5, 1.5 x 3.5 or 2.5 x 2.5 inches, from 250 for $251.36 with a 15 business day turnaround. Foil Stamped Business Cards use 16pt silk laminated or 14pt uncoated cover, from 500 for $222.13.
Edge painting adds color to the sides of a thick card: Edge Painted Postcards print on 32pt UltraWhite uncoated cover in four sizes from 4.25 x 5.5 to 5 x 7 inches, from 250 for $302.06. Plan extra lead time for these jobs, since a standard business card ships in 3 business days and these take 5 to 15.
