A Card People See, Feel, and Keep
These are custom holographic business cards with the rainbow foil raised off the card surface. The foil shifts color under light and stands up far enough for a fingertip to catch it.
More than a hundred other card styles, foil and plain, are on business cards printing.
There are four set sizes, 100, 250, 500 and 1,000, and the biggest saving per card comes at the first step, from about 87 cents at 100 to under 48 cents at 250. The tiers below show each total and the saving at every step.
What are raised holographic business cards
Your artwork prints in full color first, then the holographic foil goes on top only where your foil layer marks it, a logo, a name or a border, and it is built up so it stands proud of the card face.
Raised Holographic vs Flat Holographic Business Cards
Both carry the same rainbow shift. The difference is whether you can feel it. A flat holographic business card keeps the shift level with the surface on a thicker 32pt or 48pt laminated stock, which is the choice when you want the card heavier in the hand rather than textured under it.
On look, the raised foil throws a harder highlight because the ridge catches light from one angle at a time. On cost, the flat card starts from a larger minimum run, while these start at 100 cards, so a raised card is the cheaper way to test a design before committing to a bigger order.
Holographic Foil or Holographic Plastic Cards
This card is not plastic: its body is a paper board under a soft matte laminate, with the foil on top. A holographic plastic card puts the shift in a 30mil plastic body instead, and a 3D lenticular card swaps whole images rather than colors. The table sorts the three.
| You want | Order | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| The rainbow shift on a thick laminated card | Holographic business cards | Foil on a 32pt or 48pt silk or velvet laminated cover, flat to the surface |
| A plastic card body | Holographic plastic cards | A plastic card rather than a paper board with foil on it |
| A true 3D flip between images | 3D lenticular business cards | A ridged lens that swaps the artwork as the card tilts, not a color shift |
How much do raised holographic business cards cost
A run of 250 cards is $119.73, 500 is $185.63, and 1,000 come to $361.37. Drag the slider to the run you need and read the per-card figure next to the set total.
Why the Stock Is Velvet Laminate
The soft-touch laminate reads matte and absorbs light, so the rainbow shift has nothing competing with it. On a gloss stock the whole card reflects and the foil reads as one more shiny area. The specs below are laid out the way the live configurator presents them.
Keep the foil to one bold, simple shape, a logo mark or a heavy name, and it reads best. Our business card design templates give you a free starting layout; swap the colors, copy and logo in the online editor, then mark the foil area.
Wally makes your card impossible to ignore
Rainbow foil you can feel, from $86.78 per 100.
Raised holographic foil shifts color as it moves and stands up off the card, so people hold it, turn it, and keep it. Printed on a soft-touch 16pt velvet laminated stock at $86.78 per 100, with the foil on the front or both sides. Set your quantity, upload your art, and Wally prints a card that gets noticed.

Where can the raised holographic foil go
Foil on the front leads with the effect where people look first and keeps the back clean for contact details in full color. Foil on both sides makes the card shine whichever way it lands on a table.
This card carries one foil, raised holographic. For a different raised finish, Dual Raised Business Cards combine two raised effects on one card, and the dual raised printing collection gathers the cards that carry both.
How do you proof and print your cards
Straight To Production sends your file to print right away when you are confident it is correct. The Free Online Proof sends back a digital proof of your layout at no extra cost, so you can confirm where the foil and text sit before anything prints. Every order is backed by 4OVER4's Gold Standard guarantees, so a card that arrives wrong gets made right.
What do people use raised holographic business cards for
A nail or lash artist, a tattoo studio, a DJ or a jeweler can hand over a card whose rainbow foil matches the look of the work. The same card also works as a VIP card, a loyalty card or a referral card. For a flat metallic shine instead, Fat Foil Business Cards put gold or silver foil on a 32pt uncoated card.

Raised Holographic Business Cards: Frequently Asked Questions
How long do raised holographic cards take to print?
Standard production is 7 business days, which covers the foil step on top of the printing and lamination. There is no faster speed on this card.
What does putting the rainbow foil on the back as well cost?
Choosing Foil on Both Sides raises the price by 40 percent over front-only foil. Full color on the back, the 4/4 ink choice, is priced on top of that.
How can I create embossed business cards?
On this card the raised texture comes from the foil, not from pressing the paper. Put every area you want raised on its own layer as solid, closed shapes, such as a logo, a monogram or a heavy name, and upload a print-ready PDF, JPG or PNG.
Do raised holographic cards help a small business stand out?
Yes. The rainbow foil sits up off the soft velvet stock, so the card catches the light and a thumb at once, which makes a small brand easy to remember after an event. Runs start at 100 cards, and foil on the logo alone keeps the design clean.
