Metallic Foil Invitations

Envelope

Below are the envelope sizes for each of our standard invitation and announcement sizes. These envelopes will not be printed (white only). For printed envelopes, please order here.

Gold or Silver Raised Foil

Make your client’s invitations and announcements look stunning with their choice of gold or silver foil. The foils are raised, so you can literally feel the difference.

Matte Silk Lamination

Each invite or announcement card is laminated with a soft film that adds the silky matte effect. It’s soft to the touch and protects the product too.

Elegant Event Invitations

Silver and gold foil specialty printing is in high demand for wedding invitations, corporate event invites, special announcements, and more.

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

Separate artwork into two files: one is for foil lamination, for which the artwork's color should be set to 100% black. Another file should be in the CMYK color space for artwork that is not foil printed.

Step 3

Export all files into PDF format with bleeds.

Important Instructions
For best results, we strongly recommend you ensure the following to avoid delays and/or unexpected print results.

Supply fonts larger than 8pt
Use sans serif fonts
Avoid having artwork underneath the foil areas (i.e. using a mask instead)
Avoid areas of heavy foil coverage with small/fine (non-foil) text or linework knocked out, as there is a tendency for these to fill in.
CAUTION: Our foil machine manufacturer does not recommend extending the foil design to the trimmed edge of the card, as there would be a high possibility of the foil peeling off along the trimmed edges. There should be at least a 5mm foil-free area around the edges. If you supply foil files with full bleed, please note our automation will automatically apply a 5 mm gap (from the trim edge) on your foil files to prevent the risks of the trimmed edges lifting/peeling. The non-foiled gap area may be visible along the edges as a result. It is best to avoid full bleed on your foil files for the above reasons.
