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:

1. Regular full color artwork
2. 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.

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.

Important Instructions
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.

General File Preparation Guidelines

Be sure to DELETE any hidden layers that are not intended to print (ie: setup guide layers or other hidden artwork layers) to ensure no risk of them appearing on the final print.
Each job (including multiple paged projects) must be submitted as a single PDF file. Ensure that all pages are the same size.
Files must be submitted with proper orientation to ensure proper back up.
It is best to try to avoid using borders in your design. If a border is too close to the trim, the trim may be slightly off-center.
File must consist of 1/8" bleed and all important art and text must be within the safety margin.
Ensure that your PDF is high res and that all images are CMYK at 300 DPI.
Black type should have the following values: C0, M0, Y0, K100.
Embed or outline all fonts.
For best colour results, supply a CMYK only files.
