Cards that shine

Ready to go from standard to standout? With foil accent business cards, you can add metallic foil to the front of your card, including your company name, logo or text. The shiny finish adds a layer of creativity and professionalism to your card. And the reflectiveness beautifully complements bold text and high-contrast colors.

Style & substance

While foil business cards simply look great, they also help you direct customers where to look. You can spotlight the key information or design elements that you want to stand out. This can help keep timely messaging, updates or branding top of mind.

Design made easy

Start by choosing one of our templates or upload your own. Then, use the accents to help create an eye-catching, memorable look. In most cases, you can choose exactly where you want to add the metallic foil. If you have any questions about how to do that, you’ll see an option to request help. And if you're looking for an alternative to our flat metallic printing, you can always check out our raised foil business card.

Upgraded business cards 🤩

I wanted something different & eye catching, but that wouldn’t break the bank as a start up. I love the way my cards look. I got foil accents and they look very sharp. I only wish it was on the front and back. For my next order I’ll try to get it on both sides. Otherwise, they are absolutely perfect. I added a QR code to the back and was able to customize the design to fit the look I wanted. The price was very fair and affordable and I would recommend to others.

Was not happy with the product, but customer service was able to give me a refund which was nice. It looks like quality was not checked prior to being sent. Both the front and backs were off-center (perfectly centered in preview) and when told as long as the gold foil accent sections are the same color, the design team will know. That didn't work for the back side. Resulting in bad color fonts and other discoloration. Overall, unsatisfied with the print job, but customer service was very understanding when requesting a full refund for the purchase.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that the alignment and color quality of the Foil Accent Business Cards did not meet expectations. This is not the experience we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing these details to our attention. Furthermore, we’re glad our customer service team was able to assist you quickly and issue a refund. We’ve shared your concerns with our quality team, so we can look into what went wrong and prevent this from happening again, as this is not typical of our quality. In addition, please note that the foil accent can only be printed on the front side of the cards. We trust this was helpful.

I placed an order for new business cards. A couple of weeks ago, and when they arrived, you could not read my phone number email address or website. It looks fine on the screen when I submitted it. But I think that there should be someone who reviews this prior to spending so much money on business cards and letting you know.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We regret to hear that the phone number and email address are not legible on the business cards. We understand your disappointment and apologize for any inconvenience caused. Our system is automated, so items are normally printed as submitted. We are happy to provide you with a free replacement order. Please increase the font size on the original image, re-upload it, save it to your VistaPrint account, and then reply to this email. Once we've received your response, we'll review the document and proceed with the new order. We look forward to hearing from you.

Frequently asked questions

Foil can come in multiple colors, depending on your design you can even have gold foil business cards. For thickness, you have a few options. Standard paper (14pt), and premium paper (16pt). Each point (pt) is equal to .001 of an inch, to give you a frame of reference. You can also pick either glossy or matte finish with either paper.

Yes, here are a few pointers to help you out:

  • Since the foil is reflective, make sure any foil-printed text is 10pt or larger to help with readability.
  • To maximize the effect of the foil and make certain things stand out, try to limit how much foil you use.
  • We’ll make the foil color match the original color of your design as closely as possible – bright colors and high-contrast designs usually look best.

The metallic foil is flat. We do offer raised foil business cards, if you’re looking for a more textured, 3D look.

Great question – and the answer is a bit different depending on whether you upload your own design or go with one of our templates.

When you start customizing one of our templates, you can click on the “Finishes” option to see where you can add foil to your design.

As you go through the process of uploading your own design, you’ll see an option to add foil to your text, your images or both. And if you’re not sure when the foil should go, there’s even an option to have our designers choose for you!

For uploads, the foil sections will be the same color as they are in your original design. For templates, you can change the color of different text, images and patterns you’ve added foil to.

For complete information about card dimensions, check out our business card size guide.

No, our printing process for metallic business cards only allows for foil to go on the front of the cards. However, full-color printing is available on the backside of the card for an additional charge.

Unfortunately, we can’t offer foil accents on square business cards. However, we are happy to offer foil on rounded corner cards! You can find that option in the choices above.

When you’re designing your metallic business cards (even if you’ve chosen an existing template), you can click on text or images and you’ll see an option that lets you turn the special finish on or off. Note that you may not always have this option for all text and images.

If you’re uploading your own artwork, and you want a specific area to be metallic, make sure to upload that part separately then click “on” to activate the metallic finish. For design assistance. And if you’re having any trouble, you’ll always see an option onscreen to reach out to us for help.
