Metallic Foil Business Cards

This is the high-end finish in our business cards printing lineup. Foil stamping puts a mirror-bright accent on the one piece of print a prospect actually keeps, and it sits a clear step above a flat full-color card. Pick the foil color, the stock and the size, and the card does more than carry a phone number.

The run size sets the price. A set of 500 starts at $222.13, and the cost per card keeps falling as the count climbs, so a full reorder of 2,500 or 5,000 lands far cheaper per card than a small first batch. Tap any tier below to see the live set total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.

What Makes a Metallic Foil Business Card Different?

The foil is real metal leaf, heat-stamped onto the stock, not gold or silver printed as ink. That is why it mirrors light instead of sitting flat. You get 7 foil colors to choose from, gold, silver, copper, rose gold, red, black and blue, and you can place the foil on the front, the back or both sides. For a flatter take on the same look, the Foil Stamped Business Cards and the base Foil Business Cards cover the rest of the family.

What Size Should a Metallic Foil Business Card Be?

You have 4 sizes. The 2" x 3.5" standard fits any wallet and any cardholder, the 2.125" x 3.375" credit card size reads a touch more premium, the 1.5" x 3.5" slim card stands out in a stack, and the 2.5" x 2.5" social square breaks the rectangle entirely. Every size below is grouped exactly the way the live configurator on this page presents it, so you know what you can change before you change it.

Here are a few easy ways to make the foil pull its weight.

Pick a foil color that fits the brand

Gold and rose gold read warm and luxe, silver and black read modern and sharp, and copper, red or blue let you match a brand color instead of defaulting to gold. The foil shows best against a dark or saturated background, so a black or deep-tone 16pt Silk Laminated card makes the metal pop hardest.

Layer Spot UV over the shine

You can add Spot UV on the front, the back or both sides on top of the foil, so a raised gloss sits next to the metallic accent for a two-texture finish. If you want the gloss effect on its own without foil, the Spot UV Business Cards do exactly that.

Design it without a designer

You do not need a design background to make this look sharp. Start from a layout in our business card design templates, mark where the foil should land, then change the colors, copy and logo in the online editor in minutes.

Already have artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. The blank metallic foil business card template is built at the real trim size, with the 1/8" bleed and the safe margin already drawn in, so your foil layer never crowds the edge. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

Can You Put Foil on Both Sides?

Yes. Foil On Front is the default, but you can run Foil on Back or Foil on Both Sides when the back of the card earns the same shine, like a monogram, a QR code or a tagline. Both-side foil costs more leaf and stamping, so price it on the slider before you decide. For a heavier metallic body rather than a stamped accent, the Silk Aluminum Foil Business Cards wrap the whole card in foil.

How Much Do Metallic Foil Business Cards Cost?

Metallic foil business cards start at $222.13 for a set of 500, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs through 1,000, 2,500, 5,000 and up to 25,000. Foil stamping is a press finish, so the setup is built into that starting price, which is why a bigger run is where the value really shows. Size the run on the slider above and the set total updates live.

Tips for a Foil Card That Reads Clean

Good design is half the job. The other half is a print-ready file, and that is where most reprints come from. Keep the foil areas bold and a little chunky, since fine hairlines and tiny type do not stamp cleanly, and mark your foil layer as a separate spot so the press knows exactly where the metal goes. Run through the do's and don'ts below before you upload, on resolution, color mode, bleed and the safe margin, and your cards clear preflight on the first try.

How Do They Compare to the Rest of the Range?

Metallic foil is the shine pick, but it is not your only premium finish. If you are weighing foil against a raised gloss, an edge treatment or a full metallic body, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up metallic foil business cards against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
