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.

These cards were a little darker color wise than I expected but that is probably human error as screens can vary in how they show color. The red is just really dark compared to what I saw so maybe stay away from dark ink colors. Other than that they feel nice to the touch, and have clean cuts around the edges. Finger prints show on mine but again I think that has a lot to do with the color choice of my backround.

Im happy, but

1/4 of my box of 250 were off center. I expected gold foil, which I got, but also has sparkles all over. Did not notice that on the draft.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We’re glad to hear you’re generally happy with your Foil Accent Business Cards, but we’re very sorry that about a quarter of your order arrived off-center. That’s not the quality we aim to deliver, especially for a bulk order, and we understand how disappointing this must be. Regarding the finish, thank you for noting the unexpected sparkle effect. While our gold foil can sometimes reflect light in a way that creates a subtle glitter-like appearance, we understand this may not have been clearly visible during the proofing stage and can differ from expectations. To help us better investigate the alignment and finish concerns, could you please share a photo of the affected cards? Once we receive it, we’ll review and assist you with the appropriate resolution.

Awesome products and turnaround!

I even got help from an associate on their helpline for Vistaprint, but cards came out with the correct colors, but the front was supposed to be lifted so it had a bump in the reflective area. I paid top dollar, and still got just a flat card to the touch… I wanted my card to pop to the eye and touch. I only got eye popping…
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for your review. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the Foil Accent Business Cards, and we regret hearing that the finish was not to your satisfaction. We are grateful to hear the colors were correct. Please note that the foil accent is a shiny, metallic foil placed on the front of your card. It is not raised. To get a raised finish, we recommend the raised foil business cards: www.vistaprint.com/business-cards/raised-foil. This option is only available in gold or silver foil and targets specific areas on the card. Another option is the embossed gloss business cards: www.vistaprint.com/business-cards/raised-print. This is a raised, 3D shine that is applied to your text or design. It is not foil, however. We have taken action on your account, and a follow-up email with more details will be sent to you. We trust this was helpful to 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.
