Quick answers

Which foil colours can I choose?

The Special Finish dropdown offers Red Foil, Copper Foil, Gold Foil and Silver Foil, each applied single sided. Gold and silver are the classic picks for a premium feel, while red and copper suit warmer brand colours. For a gloss effect instead of metal, compare Spot UV Business Cards.

Can the foil go on both sides of the card?

No. Every foil option on this page is listed as Single Sided, so the metallic detail appears on one face only. You can still print the card Double Sided, with full colour or text on the reverse. If you need foil on both faces, describe the job on the quote request form.

How much do metallic foil business cards cost?

On the cheapest combination of options, 50 cards start at £74.26 and 100 cards start at £117.07. Material, laminate, sides, corners and foil colour all affect the total, and the configurator shows the live price for your exact choices before you add them to your cart. Compare other card types across the business cards category.

How long do foiled business cards take?

Allow around 6 working days for production, as the foil is an extra finishing stage. That is a typical figure, not a fixed deadline, and delivery comes on top unless you collect. For cards needed by a set date, talk to the team before placing the order.

Which card material should I pick?

There are three: 350gsm Uncoated, 350gsm Recycled Art Board Silk Finish and 400gsm Art Board Silk Finish. 350gsm Uncoated is the standard specification, and 400gsm Art Board is the heaviest of the three. If you are unsure which pairs best with your foil colour, ask for advice first.

Can I get square foiled business cards?

Yes. The Size dropdown includes 55mm x 55mm alongside the standard 85mm x 55mm. A square card with a single foiled logo makes a striking, compact design. If square is your main requirement and foil is optional, see Square Business Cards as well.

Can I collect foil cards from the Manchester studio?

Yes, you can pick them up from Unit 3, 116 Bury New Road, Manchester M8 8EB. UK delivery is also available, with the cost shown at checkout. If you are based elsewhere in the North West, check areas we cover to see where we work regularly.

Asked by buyers 22

What does the Matt Soft Touch laminate add?

Matt Soft Touch is a matt laminate, so it gives the metallic foil a muted, low-sheen backdrop to stand out against. Choose Matt Soft Touch Single Sided to cover one face, or Matt Soft Touch Double Sided for both. Other high-end finishes are explained on our luxury business cards page.

Is there a recycled board option for foil cards?

Yes, 350gsm Recycled Art Board Silk Finish is one of the three materials. It lets you pair a recycled stock with a gold, silver, copper or red foil detail. If you would prefer a recycled card without foil, Recycled Business Cards are a simpler option.

Why choose 400gsm Art Board over 350gsm?

400gsm Art Board Silk Finish is the heaviest material here, so the card feels more substantial in the hand. That can suit a premium brand where weight is part of the impression. The 350gsm options cost less and still give a solid base for foil. Check the live price for each before deciding.

Can I leave the card without lamination?

The Laminate dropdown lists Matt Soft Touch Single Sided and Matt Soft Touch Double Sided, with no unlaminated choice on this page. If you need foil on a bare stock, explain what you have in mind on the quote form so the team can price it.

Do rounded corners work with foil cards?

Yes. The Round Corners dropdown has No and Yes, and you can pair either with any foil colour. Rounded corners soften the outline, which suits boutique, beauty and lifestyle brands. Square corners keep a crisp, formal shape that sits well with gold or silver on a dark design.

Should the foiled side be printed Single Sided or Double Sided?

That depends on what you need on the back. Single Sided keeps the card clean with the foil detail as the main feature, while Double Sided gives space for contact details, a map or a tagline. Either way the foil itself stays on one face. More ideas for layouts are on our business cards Manchester page.

What quantities are listed for foil business cards?

The Quantity dropdown runs from 50 up to 5000, with steps at 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 750, 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000. A run of 50 suits trying out a new design, while thousands suit a larger team. For any other quantity, the team can price it separately.

What does a run of 1000 foil cards cost?

On the cheapest combination, 1000 cards come to £461.69. Your choice of material, laminate, foil colour, sides and corners sets the real figure, and the configurator shows it live. If you are ordering for a large team, compare it with the cost of several smaller runs before you commit.

Can I order fewer than 50 foil cards?

The smallest run in the Quantity dropdown is 50 cards. If you only need a couple of dozen, for example for one director or a single event, send the numbers through Get a Quote and the team will tell you what is possible and what it would cost.

Does the foil colour change the price?

Every dropdown can move the price, including Special Finish, so set your foil colour and watch the total update. Pick the other options first, then switch between Red, Copper, Gold and Silver Foil to see whether the colour makes a difference at your quantity.

How should I set up artwork for foil?

The foil areas need to be clearly separated in your file from the printed colours, so the finisher knows exactly where the metal goes. Exact setup can vary, so get in touch before sending anything if you are unsure. A print-ready PDF at your chosen size is the safest base for the rest of the design.

What designs work best with metallic foil?

Simple, bold shapes: a logo mark, a name, a border or a short line of text. Clean lines are easiest to read in metal, and a single foil colour often looks smarter than several elements competing. If your logo is due a refresh before you commit to foil, see Logo and Brand Refresh.

Can you design my foil business card?

Yes. Choose the Professional artwork and design service (+£36.00) and a designer lays out the card, including where the foil sits. Send your logo, wording and any colour preferences with the order. If you already have finished files, choose the free print-ready option instead.

How do I order metallic foil cards online?

Work through Size, Material, Sides Printed, Round Corners, Laminate, Special Finish and Quantity, and the price refreshes after each pick. Choose your artwork option, add the cards to your cart and pay by card at checkout. Other items from the print shop can go in the same order.

How can I pay for foil business cards?

Payment is taken by card at checkout through Stripe, which accepts Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay. The delivery charge, if you are not collecting, is added before you confirm. For quoted jobs such as two-sided foil, the team will explain payment when they send the price.

Do you send foil cards across the UK?

Yes, delivery is available to UK addresses, and the cost appears at checkout before you pay. If you are near Manchester, collecting from the Bury New Road studio is also an option. Bear in mind the production time when planning around an event.

Who makes these business cards?

WEB PRINT & SIGNS LIMITED, a print, signs and web company based in Manchester, with a second studio in Brierfield. You can reach the team on 0161 315 1151 or hello@webprintsigns.co.uk. Read more about Web Print Signs and the services on offer beyond print.

Who chooses metallic foil business cards?

They suit anyone who wants the card to feel premium from the first touch: consultants, estate agents, jewellers, salons, boutiques and high-end retailers. Gold or silver on a dark design is a popular combination for client meetings and networking. Similar premium options are gathered on our luxury business cards page.

Can foil cards match my shop's packaging?

Yes, using the same foil colour across cards and tags creates a consistent look at the till. Many retailers pair foiled cards with tags on their products. See Foiled Swing Tags for a matching item.

Are foil cards suitable as gift or appointment cards?

They can be. A foiled card with your logo on one side and space for details on the other works well for salons and boutiques. For printed vouchers with their own layout, see our gift voucher printing page, which covers formats designed for that purpose.

What else can carry the same foil finish?

Flyers can carry a matching metallic detail too, which helps a launch or event pack look like one set. Take a look at Metallic Foil Flyers to keep the same style across your printed material.

Can I match foil cards with my letterheads?

Yes. Using the same logo, colours and layout style on your letterheads makes the foil card feel like part of a proper stationery set rather than a one-off. Our letterhead printing Manchester page explains the options for headed paper to sit alongside your cards.
