Raised Foil Postcards

Raised foil postcards lift metal foil up off the card wherever you mark it on the blank template, so a logo, a headline or a border has an edge you can feel.

Raise the Shine Off a Postcard People Keep

A layer of real metal catches the light as the card slides out of the stack, and a fingertip finds its raised edge a moment later. Put the foil on the parts a reader should touch first. Every postcard finish we print sits side by side on postcards printing.

The step from 100 to 250 cards adds the least of any step on the ladder, and the tiers below show each set total and what every step adds.

What Is a Raised Foil Postcard

A raised foil postcard is a full color card with a layer of metal foil stamped and lifted above the surface, so the accent is something you can see and feel. The panel below shows the ink, foil color and foil side choices the way the configurator groups them.

Which Raised Foil Color Should You Pick

Match the foil to the brand. Gold reads warm, a fit for a salon, a jeweler or a wedding. Silver reads modern and suits a clean logo. Holographic splits light into a moving rainbow as the card tilts. Keep the foil on the front to leave the back clean for an address panel, or run it across both sides when the whole card is the show. Raised Holographic Postcards are the same card with holographic as the only foil.

Design it without a designer

Keep the foiled area tight: one bold mark reads better in raised foil than a busy field. Start from a layout in our postcard design templates, mark the shape you want raised, then swap in your colors, copy and logo in the online editor and let the velvet base carry the rest.

If your art is ready, download a blank. Each blank raised foil postcard template is drawn at the real trim size with the bleed and safe margin marked, and it has a separate layer for the raised foil. Place your art, draw the foil shapes on that layer and upload.

Wally raises the shine off the card

Why a raised foil postcard gets kept, not tossed.

A run of 100 raised foil postcards starts at $299, and the metal foil lifts off the card so the shine is something you feel, not just see. Pick from raised gold, silver, or holographic foil, set it on the front or both sides, and Wally presses the dimension that stops a thumb on its way to the recycling bin.

How Do They Compare to Other Premium Postcards

Raised foil is the loudest tactile finish, and there are other raised options. For a clear, glassy gloss lifted over a matte base, Raised Spot UV Postcards give a dimensional shine with no color shift. Dual Raised Postcards pair raised foil with raised gloss on one card. For a flush metal look without the lift, Metallic Foil Postcards stamp the same shine flat against the print.

Our guide to foil postcards explains when each one fits, foil stamping, foil printing and metallic ink compared covers how each is made, and the raised foil printing guide walks through stocks and file setup. The panel below sets this card beside Standard Postcards, Mini Cards and Magnet Postcards, three of the 62 postcard styles, by starting price and turnaround.
