Cards that shine

Ready to go from standard to standout? With foil accent business cards, you can add metallic foil to parts of your design, including your company name, logo or text. The shiny finish adds a layer of creativity and professionalism to your card. And the reflectiveness beautifully complements bold text and high-contrast colours.

Style & substance

While foil business cards simply look great, they also help you direct customers where to look. You can spotlight the key information or design elements that you want to stand out. This can help keep timely messaging, updates or branding top of mind.

Design made easy

Start by choosing one of our templates or upload your own. Then, use the accents to help create an eye-catching, memorable look. In most cases, you can choose exactly where you want to add the metallic foil. If you have any questions about how to do that, you’ll see an option to request help. And if you're looking for an alternative to our flat metallic printing, you can always check out our raised foil business cards.

Business Cards

I thought their service was quick. However, the business cards (I selected two styles) were okay. If I order again, I would select their best quality card, not premium. Also, I would order the raised foil stamping. Not just foil stamping. I had received help with my order. However, I found my graphic too large and on the first card and my headshot not as centered, on the second card.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your recent experience with the business cards. We are glad to hear that the delivery was quick. Furthermore, we regret that the graphic was larger than expected on one card, and the headshot was misaligned on the other cards. Regarding the paper stock, our thickest cardstock available for the foil accent and our other specialty finishes is the premium stock, which weighs 16pt. If you wish to have a cardstock thicker than the premium, we recommend our deluxe cards: www.vistaprint.ca/business-cards/deluxe-business-cards. Also, we offer three special finishes: Foil Accent, Embossed Gloss, and Raised Foil. If you're looking for an alternative to our flat foil printing, you can check out our raised foil business cards here: www.vistaprint.ca/business-cards/raised-foil. We have reviewed the cards with the headshot and found that the headshot was centered; however, the text under the photo was misaligned. For both designs, we recommend in the future that you request a "PDF proof" of your design before completing the order: www.vistaprint.ca/customer-care/help-center/360052259371/. This is available in the editing studio, and when viewed at 100%, it will show you what the document will look like when printed. Viewing the proof will allow you to make changes, such as reducing the size of your graphic if it is too large or aligning the design correctly. We have taken action on your account, and a follow-up email with more details will be sent to you. We trust this was helpful to you.

They don't look as premium as I thought. Back colour is a bit "washed out". They do the job, but I was looking for something more premium
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for your review submission. We regret to hear that the premium finish of the business cards was not as expected. Your business is very valuable to us, so we'll pass your feedback regarding the option to order a higher quantity to the team for review.

Frequently asked questions

Foil can come in multiple colours, depending on your design you can even have gold foil business cards. For thickness, you have a few options. Standard paper (14pt), and premium paper (16pt). Each point (pt) is equal to .001 of an inch, to give you a frame of reference. You can also pick either glossy or matte finish with either paper.

Yes, here are a few pointers to help you out:

  • Since the foil is reflective, make sure any foil-printed text is 10pt or larger to help with readability.
  • To maximize the effect of the foil and make certain things stand out, try to limit how much foil you use.
  • We’ll make the foil colour match the original colour of your design as closely as possible – bright colours and high-contrast designs usually look best.

The metallic foil is flat. We do offer raised foil business cards, if you’re looking for a more textured, 3D look.

Great question – and the answer is a bit different depending on whether you upload your own design or go with one of our templates.

When you start customizing one of our templates, you can click on the “Finishes” option to see where you can add foil to your design.

As you go through the process of uploading your own design, you’ll see an option to add foil to your text, your images or both. And if you’re not sure when the foil should go, there’s even an option to have our designers choose for you!

For uploads, the foil sections will be the same colour as they are in your original design. For templates, you can change the colour of different text, images and patterns you’ve added foil to.

For complete information about card dimensions, check out our business card size guide.

No, our printing process for metallic business cards only allows for foil to go on the front of the cards. However, full-colour printing is available on the backside of the card for an additional charge.

Unfortunately, we can’t offer foil accents on square business cards. However, we are happy to offer foil on rounded corner cards! You can find that option in the choices above.

When you’re designing your metallic business cards (even if you’ve chosen an existing template), you can click on text or images and you’ll see an option that lets you turn the special finish on or off. Note that you may not always have this option for all text and images.

If you’re uploading your own artwork, and you want a specific area to be metallic, make sure to upload that part separately then click “on” to activate the metallic finish. For design assistance. And if you’re having any trouble, you’ll always see an option onscreen to reach out to us for help.
