Metallic Foil Postcards
Matte Lamination + Gold / Silver Foil
Raised foil postcards stand out with their silver or gold custom foil printing. Our wholesale foil printing produces a premium look popular for invitations cards and certificates
14pt + 2pt Laminated Stock
Our regular 14pt C2S stock is laminated with a silky matte lamination to create the smooth texture and thickness of these metallic foil postcards before we add our foil finish printing.
Gold and Silver Foil Printing
With custom foil printing, you’ll be able to offer your clients gold foil printed holiday postcards, silver foil finish wedding invitations, and more. The possibilities are endless with metallic foil postcard printing.
Raised Foil Postcards
Our foil finish printing technique causes the gold or silver metallic foil to rise slightly from the postcard. That’s why our metallic foil postcards come with a unique tactile experience that your customer will love.
