- Raised foil postcards stand out with their silver or gold custom foil printing. Our foil printing produces a premium look popular for invitations cards and certificates
Description
16pt + 2pt Laminated Stock
Our regular 16pt C2S stock is laminated with a silky matte lamination to create the smooth texture and thickness of these metallic foil postcards before we add our foil finish printing.
Gold and Silver Foil Printing
With custom foil printing, you’ll be able to offer your clients gold foil printed holiday postcards, silver foil finish wedding invitations, and more. The possibilities are endless with metallic foil postcard printing.
Raised Foil Postcards
Our foil finish printing technique causes the gold or silver metallic foil to rise slightly from the postcard. That’s why our metallic foil postcards come with a unique tactile experience that your customer will love.

How To Set Up Your Files
General File Preparation Guidelines
- Download our guides to ensure a more optimal print result.
- Be sure to DELETE any hidden layers that are not intended to print (ie: setup guide layers or other hidden artwork layers) to ensure no risk of them appearing on the final print.
- Each job (including multiple paged projects) must be submitted as a single PDF file. Ensure that all pages are the same size.
- Files must be submitted with proper orientation to ensure proper backup.
- It is best to try to avoid using borders in your design. If a border is too close to the trim, the trim may be slightly off-center.
- File must consist of 1/8″ bleed and all important art and text must be within the safety margin.
- Ensure that your PDF is high res and that all images are CMYK at 300 DPI.
- Black type should have the following values: C0, M0, Y0, K100.
- Embed or outline all fonts.
- For best colour results, supply a CMYK only files.
Download Setup Guide
Step 1:
Ensure the file matches the product’s required dimensions. Ensure that the artwork
is created in CMYK 300 dpi with 1/16 inch bleeds on all sides.
Step 2:
Make sure that all images are embedded, and that all the text is outlined.
Step 3:
Export all files into PDF format with bleeds.
For best results, we strongly recommend you ensure the following to minimize the potential of text filling in:
- Supply fonts larger than 8pt
- Use sans serif fonts
- Avoid having artwork underneath the foil areas (i.e. using a mask instead)
Special Instructions: Please submit two PDF files:
- Regular full color artwork
- Metallic Foil template indicating the area of the Metallic Foil
On template file, indicate area of Metallic Foil by using 100% K. Non Foil areas should be white. For best results, ensure this file is vector.
If ordering a 4/4 job with Metallic Foil on only one side, please ensure that page 1 of your artwork is the Foil side
We do not recommend extending the Metallic Foil design to the edge of the card, as there would be a high possibility of the foil peeling off. There should be at least a 5mm foil-free area around the edges. Failing to provide this could result in delays and/or unexpected print results.
