Foil Business Cards with Premium Finish

Foil stamping pricing is quoted per project because it includes custom die creation, foil material, setup, press time, card stock, and quantity. Designs using multiple foil colors require separate die runs, which increases production time and cost. Larger quantities are typically more cost-effective because the die and setup costs are spread across more cards.

Foiling on business cards is a specialty finishing process that transfers metallic, holographic, pigment, or special-effect foil onto the card using heat, pressure, and a custom metal die. It can highlight logos, names, borders, patterns, or card edges, creating a reflective, tactile finish that standard ink cannot reproduce.

Print Icon offers classic metallic foils such as gold, silver, rose gold, copper, bronze, and gunmetal, along with gloss or matte pigment foils, holographic options, rainbow foils, pearlescent effects, glitter, and iridescent finishes. Pigment foils can also support custom Pantone matching for brand-consistent business card designs.

Foil business cards work especially well on premium stocks, including thick cotton paper, Colorplan, layered duplex stocks, dark card stocks, leather, and certain plastic substrates. Print Icon also offers a full selection of premium card stock with different colors and finishes, including recycled and FSC-guideline paper options.

Yes. Foil stamping can be combined with letterpress, embossing, debossing, engraving, digital printing, and offset printing to create multi-technique business cards. Popular combinations include foil logos with letterpress text, blind-embossed brand marks with metallic accents, or white ink and foil on dark card stock.

Rush order capabilities are available for expedited printing when timing is tight, and hard copy proofs may be available next business day. Exact turnaround depends on quantity, die complexity, stock availability, foil color, and whether the card uses multiple finishing methods. Print Icon is open Monday through Friday, 10AM to 6PM.

Yes. Print Icon offers graphic design services by appointment for clients who need help creating custom business cards or preparing print-ready artwork. Designers can help with concept development, mockups, file setup, color accuracy, foil placement, and choosing printing options that fit your budget and desired finish.

In many cases, Print Icon can work with a customer’s own paper if it is brought in and suitable for the chosen printing technique. The team will need to review thickness, coating, texture, color, and heat-pressure compatibility, because foil stamping requires the stock to accept a clean foil transfer.
