Question
What does edge painting mean and what color options are available?
Answer
Edge painting is a finishing option that applies a band of color to the exposed edges of a printed product, most often thick-stock business cards. It creates a crisp stripe of color around the piece that frames your design and adds a premium, custom feel.
- How it works: ink is applied by hand to the cut edge of a thick card, then sealed.
- Color options: black is a popular choice, and custom colors can be matched to your artwork as closely as possible.
- Color accuracy: because it is a hand process, an exact match to a specific hex or PMS value cannot be guaranteed.
If color accuracy matters, request a sample before placing your full order, or share your target color with 4OVER4 support.
