ADVANTAGES OF FOIL

 

Bring extra flair and shine to your business! Choose either gold, copper or silver foil to accent your cards. Because people receive so many business cards, it's important to give yours a special touch that will make it more memorable. One way to accomplish this is by using foil cards. Foil cards come in the standard 3.5 x 2 inch business card size. What makes them different is that they are printed with silver, copper or gold foil. When silver, copper or gold foil is combined with the silk laminated finish that is put on these cards, it create a business card that people will notice.

STANDARD vs ROUNDED CORNERS

 

Experience the elegance of rounded business cards. Ordering business cards with rounded corners is simple and enhances the look of any business card. The average business card has sharp corners which can be unattractive and may portray an uninviting image. Rounded corners add a certain stylish flare to any full color printed piece, and will set your satin business cards apart from the competition. Overall, it gives a very distinguished look that will impress any prospective customer.

HOW TO CREATE FOIL FILES

 

To set up files for foil,you create files just like you would for spot UV. An additional file (mask) must be created for every foiled side. This mask must be black and white with the area to be UV- SOLID black 100% (no gradients) and the rest which will not have foil must be white. Send your grey scale mask file with your CYMK file. Foil can add a lot of interest, and can identify the printing as a premium piece of sales and marketing literature in the perception of the reader.

HOW TO MAKE SPOT UV WITH FOIL FILES

 

If you order a Foil job with Spot UV, you must provide separate mask files for the Foil (foil mask) and UV (spot uv mask), in that case up to 6 files will need to be provided. However, please keep in mind that the Foil and UV can't overlap. Also, be aware that there may be up to 1/16" shift on the placement of the foil. Keep this in mind if you are trying to align foil with other printed artwork on the card.
