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.

Not worth the $$$
Apr 24, 2026 | sarah S.
I love vistaprint and the products I usually get from them but these business cards feel so cheap. Matte finish with the premium paper doesn’t feel nice at all. Plus the edges are ever so slightly curled. They just look horrible. I paid to have the foil done and thought the front and back would have it but it doesn’t. These are bad. Maybe it is a one off because I have liked what I have ordered in the past but these are not good.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We regret to hear that the quality and printing of the business cards did not meet your expectations. The foil finish can only be applied to the front of the business cards. Please be assured that your satisfaction is important to us, so it really saddens us that your experience was not as expected. We hope another business cards option (www.vistaprint.com/business-cards) will work better for you. Feel free to contact us directly for any additional assistance.

Nice but can't read

The quality is nice, but I used the provided design and colors and you can't read my name on the front of the card at the bottom because the colors are too similar- it doesn't look like the image on the site.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We truly appreciate you reaching out to share your feedback regarding the print quality and the color visibility on your cards. We are sincerely sorry to hear that your name is difficult to read due to the colors being too similar, and we understand your disappointment since the final product does not appear to match the image you saw on our site. Upon reviewing your account, our checks show that you are currently in a dialogue with our CARE team via another channel regarding this specific issue. We trust that a satisfactory resolution will be provided through that ongoing conversation to ensure your cards meet your expectations.

Not worth it. Horrible quality cards for $50. Highly disappointed.

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.
