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
NEW: We have recently upgraded this product from 16pt to 18pt, keeping the same low price!
16pt + 2pt Laminated Stock
Our regular 16pt 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.
| Special Instructions | Please submit two PDF files:
On template file, indicate area of Metallic Foil by using 100% K. Non Foil areas should be white. For best results, ensure this file is vector. If ordering a 4/4 job with Metallic Foil on only one side, please ensure that page 1 of your artwork is the Foil side |
Step 1
Ensure the file matches the product's required dimensions. Ensure that the artwork is created in CMYK 300 dpi with 1/16 inch bleeds on all sides.
Step 2
Separate artwork into two files: one is for foil lamination, for which the artwork's color should be set to 100% black. Another file should be in the CMYK color space for artwork that is not foil printed.
Step 3
Export all files into PDF format with bleeds.

Special Instructions:
Please submit two PDF files:For best results, we strongly recommend you ensure the following to avoid delays and/or unexpected print results.
- Supply fonts larger than 8pt
- Use sans serif fonts
- Avoid having artwork underneath the foil areas (i.e. using a mask instead)
- Avoid areas of heavy foil coverage with small/fine (non-foil) text or linework knocked out, as there is a tendency for these to fill in.
- Leave at least a 5mm (approximately 0.20") foil-free area around the edges. Extending the metallic foil design to the edge of the card creates a high possibility of the foil peeling off.
- Regular full color artwork
- Metallic Foil template indicating the area of the Metallic Foil
On template file, indicate area of Metallic Foil by using 100% K. Non Foil areas should be white. For best results, ensure this file is vector.
