Postcards that pop

Got an important message or announcement to make? Give it extra impact by adding metallic foil accents to the front of your postcard – on your text, design or both. The shiny, reflective finish helps foil postcards be more memorable and lets you highlight key info or dates. Plus, paired with colorful text and imagery, the foil-printing is even more noteworthy and interesting.

Your card, your call

Whether you use one of our templates or upload your own design, you get to decide how much foil printing you want on the front of your postcard, and where you want it to go. When you start customizing a template, choose the “Finishes” option to see all the areas where you can add foil. When you upload a design, you’ll be prompted to add foil to your text, images or both.

Quick & easy design process

Creating foil postcards is simple and stress-free. You can quickly personalize a wide range of templates tailored to make the most of our foil finish. Or you can explore where you can add foil to enhance your own original design. And if you run into any issues with either option, you’ll always see an onscreen option to ask for help.

VistaPrint offers Foil Accent Postcards design templates in assorted styles.

Foiling Unexpected
Aug 25, 2026 | Jasmine | United States United States
I gave directions to foil the logo and where it says Save the Date, and it is only done on one side. It is barely noticeable at all.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback on the Foil Accent Postcards. We regret hearing that the foil accent was not noticeable and was only on one side. Please note that the foil accent is only applied to the front. This information is provided on our website: www.vistaprint.com/marketing-materials/foil-accent-postcards. Also, we noticed your logo is black; the foil accent does not apply well to black. We want to look at what you received so that we can assist you better. To help us assist you more effectively, please reply to this email with a photo displaying the issue. If your request is urgent and you need an immediate solution, please reach out to our Customer Support team via www.vistaprint.com/customer-care/help-center/. We look forward to working with you.

We purchased these because one of the people helping us design recommended them. They came out great. Cost a little more but very nice.

Frequently asked questions

The metallic printing on our foil postcards is flat. If you’re looking for a textured, 3D finish, we do also offer embossed foil postcards.

The short answer is yes! But let’s get into a bit more detail. Foil printing is only available on the front of your postcard, and your options depend a little bit on whether you choose a template or upload your own design.

If you’re going to personalize one of our foil postcard templates, you can click on the “Finishes” option to see the different areas where you can add foil printing.

If you’re uploading a design you already have, we’ll ask you if you want to add foil to your text, images or both. And if you’re not sure where exactly the foil should go, there’s also an option to have a design expert choose for you.

For the design upload option, the foil will be the same color as the image in your original design – which means almost any color foil is available! With our templates, you can change the color of almost any piece of the design where you’ve opted for foil.

At the moment, we’re only able to offer foil printing on the front of your postcards. You can add full-color printing to the back for an additional charge.
