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.

Doesn't look what I imagined it would look

It doesn't look what I imagined it to be. The foil trim is not strong enough it just kind of Blends in with everything. In addition to that I thought I was ordering size business cards and they are not.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on the Foil Accent Business Cards. We regret hearing that the foil printing did not turn out as expected or the size of the cards. Please note the foil accent is a shiny accent that is added to your card to highlight text, logos, and more. If you want a particular part to stand out, it may be best to use the raised foil: www.vistaprint.com/business-cards/raised-foil. Also, the size of our business cards is 2" x 3.5", which is the standard size for business cards. Furthermore, we are pleased to see that our customer service team was contacted, and they provided a prompt resolution for the issue. We trust that this resolution has been helpful.

Background color on business cards was noticeably different from my first order
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Foil Accent Business Cards. We appreciate the time you took to explain your concern, and we understand how important it is for your past and recent orders to remain consistent in background color. We are sorry to hear that the background color of your April 2026 order differs from the one purchased in May 2023. Both orders were produced on glossy paper; however, over the two years between your May 2023 and April 2026 orders, there may have been changes in the printing facility or paper sourcing that affected the final result. To assist further, we kindly ask that you provide clear photos showcasing the print color concerns. If possible, including photos of your previous business card order would be very helpful for comparison. This will allow our team to thoroughly review the matter and work toward finding the best resolution for you. Your feedback will also be shared with our product team to help strengthen production standards and ensure consistent quality across future orders. If your concern is urgent or you would prefer direct support, our Customer Support team is available at 1‑866‑207‑4955.

A great designer helped to set up the card. The metallic gives it a great pop without appearing overdramatic. Simple, classic, and professional.

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.
