SILVER FOIL BUSINESS CARDS

SILVER FOIL BUSINESS CARDS PRINTING, UK

SHIMMER, SHINE, AND STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD – WITH SILVER FOIL THAT SETS YOUR BUSINESS CARD APART

The creation of beautiful bespoke silver foil business cards is nothing short of an artform. Also known as hot foil stamping or hot stamping, this process requires high-quality silver foil or specialised pigments and a stamping machine which impresses the silver onto the card.

Step by meticulous step, each layer is built up – involving paper, a background design, soft touch laminate, black ink and foil. Together, they are pressed – forging a single material under the heat and pressure of cutting-edge printing machinery. As you’ll go on to see, the results are more than merely aesthetically pleasing.

“I want to do business with this company” – that’s the reaction your business card must secure, intrinsic to which is trust, confidence and interest. Those seven square inches have a lot to achieve. It’s no easy feat, but when a business card gets the balance right between raw materials, advanced printing techniques and design, this is exactly what you could and should expect.

So let us first consider the base. Thicker feels sturdier and stronger – a clear mark of better quality. When you invest in superior-quality card, you create something that will stand the test of time (while your competitors’ cards become dog eared and worn). Yet you needn’t be restricted to card, you could also use leather, suede, wood or certain plastics (just ask us how).

As for the design, it starts with the colour palette. When silver foiling is teamed with classic colour combinations, such as white, cream, black, royal blue, deep green or dark plum, silver foil business cards instantly convey quality, sophistication and understated style. With the right colour pallet, our talented designers can work alongside you to develop a unique concept – one that reflects your values, brand identity and USP.

THREE EXPERT PRINTER TIPS, FOR A SILVER FOIL BUSINESS CARD THAT MAKES YOU REMARKABLE:

• 300GSM. That’s the bare minimum for a card that feels of a luxurious quality. Anything less and you’ll hand over something comparable to a limp, uninspiring handshake. There’s practical considerations, too. Your business card will need to stand up to the demanding environment of the wallet in which it sits. Overtime, the thinner card stocks become bent, dog eared and worn. When choosing a GSM of 300+, your card will rigorously face the challenge of wallet life.

• Silver foiling is suitable not only for applying over text (such as your company name or contact details), but can also create a stunning background, highlight elements of an image or overlay your logo. But always bear in mind, that this opulent printing finish only creates the most remarkable cards when used minimally and intelligently.

• Go beyond being visual. When you hand over that card, make sure it feels every inch as good as it looks. Explore options that can be combined with silver foiling, such as embossing / debossing, a letterpress effect or glitter ink business cards.
