Foil Announcement Cards Printing by StressFreePrint

Our foiled announcement cards are first printed in full colour onto high quality, sustainably sourced silk stock. We then coat the cards with a matt lamination to ensure the shiny foiled areas jump from the page. Next, we apply a raised varnish to the areas of the design which are to be foiled. Finally, we apply the foil and pass it under a UV lamp which adheres the foil to the varnish. The end result is a shimmering, slightly raised, eye-catching metallic effect which oozes sophistication and luxury.

What are the advantages of foil announcement cards printing?

Foil announcement cards are an excellent choice for adding a touch of luxury and elegance to your printed materials. The metallic finish of foil adds a shiny, eye-catching effect that is sure to grab the attention of recipients. Featuring a laminated coating, foil announcement cards are resistant to handling, ensuring they last the test of time, which means they can be retained as a memento of your occasion. The metallic finish of foil also gives your announcement cards a luxurious feel, making them an appealing choice for prestigious events and momentous occasions. The foil is applied to specific areas of your design, allowing you to add a foil accent for added visual interest. Whether you're looking to make a statement head of a special occasion or want to add a touch of sophistication to your event, foil announcement cards are an excellent choice.

What design considerations should I keep in mind when using foil for my announcement cards?

There are a few design considerations to keep in mind when using foil for your announcement cards:

• Avoid thin lines or intricate patterns: The digital foil elements of your artwork should always avoid using excessively thin lines or very intricate patterns. We suggest using a bold font with a size of 8pt or above, and a line thickness of at least 3 points, to ensure that the foil sticks properly to your design.


• Keep foiling 3mm away from the edge: It's important to keep the foiling at least 3mm away from the edge of the design to ensure that it adheres properly and looks its best.


• Avoid low resolution images: Pixelation in your designs should be avoided, as it can make the foil finish look poor. Make sure that your artwork is created with a minimum resolution of 300dpi to ensure the best quality finish.
