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.
| Special Instructions | Please submit two PDF files:
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 |
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.
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.
- 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
