Hand Out a Flyer That Catches the Light
A foil flyer catches light where a standard handout stays flat. It is not just ink on paper but a full-color flyer with a layer of real metallic foil pressed on top, so a headline, a logo, or a border reads like polished metal and moves as you tilt it. Foil flyers start at $328.42 for 500, rated 4.6 out of 5 across 5 reviews. Whether you are announcing a launch, sending a gala invitation, or tucking a thank-you into a premium package, it makes the piece feel expensive on sight.
These flyers do the heavy lifting on presentation. You print your artwork in full color, then choose where the foil lands and which of the 6 colors it uses, so even a simple layout looks high-end.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 500 starts at $328.42, about 66 cents per flyer, and the per-flyer cost keeps sliding as the count climbs toward 25,000, so a full run for a launch or a mailer costs far less per flyer than a small test batch.

What Are Foil Flyers?
Foil flyers are full-color flyers finished with real metallic foil accents, printed in 4 sizes from 4" x 6" up to 5" x 7", on a 16pt silk-laminated or 14pt uncoated cover stock. People reach for them when a standard flyer would look too plain: product launches, luxury retail, high-end real estate listings, event and gala invitations, restaurant menu inserts, and premium package thank-yous. Because the foil shines and the stock is heavy, the flyer gets handled and kept instead of skimmed and tossed. If you want the metallic look across the whole design rather than as an accent, the Metallic Flyers cover that, and the foil flyer sits right beside it as the version with pressed foil detail.
What Size Should a Foil Flyer Be?
The right size comes down to how much you need to show. The 4" x 6" default is the everyday handout, small enough to pass out at scale. The 4.25" x 5.5" and 4.25" x 6" sit close for a slightly taller card. The 5" x 7" gives your design and its foil the most room to breathe, and it doubles neatly as an upscale invitation. All 4 sizes, both stocks, and every ink option are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For a smooth silk feel across the whole flyer without the pressed foil, the Silk Flyers are the closer match.
Here are a few easy ways to make a foil flyer pull its weight.
Put the foil where it counts
Foil reads best as an accent, not a wall. Press it onto a logo, a headline, a border, or a single icon, in gold, silver, copper, or one of the other 6 colors, and let the full-color art carry the rest. You choose whether the shine goes on the front, the back, or both sides, so a two-sided flyer can lead with foil up front and keep details clean on the back.
Layer spot UV over the foil
Spot UV gloss is a separate finish from the foil, added to the front, the back, or both sides. It lays a clear raised sheen over the areas you pick, so you can pair metallic foil with a glossy highlight on the same flyer, one shiny and one wet-looking, for real depth in the hand.
Design it without a designer
You do not need a design background to make a foil flyer look sharp. Start from a free, professionally built layout in our flyer design templates, then change the colors, copy, and logo in the online editor in minutes. Keep the foil area bold and simple so the shine has one clear job.
Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. The blank foil flyer template is built at the real trim size with the bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Grab it, drop your art in, mark where the foil should go, and upload.
Wally adds the shine that gets noticed
Why a foil flyer stops a hand mid-reach.
Foil flyers start at $328.42 for 500 and add real metallic foil, in 6 colors, to your full-color design. Pick where the shine lands, add spot UV gloss, choose a size up to 5 by 7 inch, and Wally prints it on premium silk-laminated stock.

How Much Do Foil Flyers Cost?
Foil flyers start at $328.42 for 500, about 66 cents each, and the per-flyer price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 25,000, so a cheaper foil flyer really comes down to how big a run you order. A set of 2,500 runs $822.68, 5,000 runs $1,196.14, and 15,000 runs $3,283.04, where each flyer costs close to 22 cents. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the total and the true per-flyer cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
How Do Foil Flyers Compare to the Rest of the Range?
Foil flyers are the premium pick when pressed metallic detail is the point, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a metallic sheen across the whole sheet, a smooth silk finish, or a specialty cut, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up foil flyers against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose. For a specialty trim with the same upscale feel, the Staggered Cut Flyers are worth a look too.

Can You See a Proof Before Printing?
Yes, and on a foil job it is worth doing. You choose between sending your file straight to production or requesting a free online proof, a digital preview you approve before the press runs. Because foil placement and trim matter more here than on a plain flyer, the proof lets you confirm the shine lands exactly where you want it. Every order is also backed by the 4OVER4.COM guarantees, and you can read the details on our guarantees page.
How Fast Can You Get Foil Flyers?
Foil flyers print on a 9 business day standard turnaround. The metallic foil and the spot UV are added finishes that take time to apply, so plan for that 9 business day window when a launch or event has a fixed date. You set your size, foil, and finish options and see the production schedule in the configurator before you order, so there is no guessing on the delivery date.
See the Rest of Our Flyers
Foil flyers are one stop in a much larger lineup, and you can scan the full print product range any time. If a metallic sheet, a silk finish, or a specialty cut would serve you better, the rest of the family is one tap away. Each option shows its own starting price and links straight to its product page, so finding the right fit takes seconds.
