When it comes to creating the best Business Cards, it’s about more than just good design. It’s about creating something people can see, feel, and remember. A Special Finish takes your cards beyond the visual, adding tactile details that turn a simple card into a statement piece.

Imagine handing over a card that feels as impressive as it looks, one that gets a double-take because of its shine, texture, or luxurious detail. That’s the power of MOO’s Special Finishes. These thoughtful touches show your customers that your attention to detail and commitment to excellence go far beyond the surface.

Read on to discover how to create extra special business cards with MOO.

Go big and bold with foils

A touch of Gold Foil or Silver Foil can make your business cards stand out in the stack. Foil adds instant sophistication, catching the light in all the right ways to give even the simplest designs a touch of luxury. Gold Foil catches the light beautifully, perfect for adding some sparkle to your logo, text, or patterns. Silver Foil, with its cool metallic shine, gives your business card a crisp and contemporary feel.

Pair it with the velvety soft touch finish and you’ve got a combo that looks and feels luxurious. Add foil to both sides of your card and print a different design on every card at no extra cost. 

How to nail your foil finish

Here’s a quick guide to getting your Gold or Silver Foil business cards right:

  1. Create a foil layer
    Keep things simple by adding a separate layer in your design file for the foil. This shows exactly where the shine should go, so everything lines up perfectly when it’s printed.
  2. Use the right file format
    For crisp, clean results, save your design as a vector-based file like PDF, AI, or EPS. These formats make sure your foil looks sharp and flawless.
  3. Double-check your design
    Make sure your foil layer matches up with the rest of your design. Check your alignment, spacing, and placement to avoid any surprises when your cards are printed.

Make your mark with Spot Gloss

Spot Gloss (aka Spot UV) brings a subtle shimmer to your business cards that’s impossible to ignore. Its transparent, shiny finish highlights key details like logos, text, or design accents. Subtle yet totally effective. 

If you’re looking for even more impact, then you need to meet Raised Spot Gloss. This Special Finish adds texture, so it looks fantastic and feels amazing to the touch. 

MOO tip: Sometimes your cards might stick together a bit, usually when there’s a lot of gloss involved. To keep things smooth, we recommend keeping your Raised Spot Gloss coverage to 20% or less.

Make a lasting impression with Letterpress

In a world dominated by digital interactions, the value of human connection has never been greater. A Letterpress Special Finish brings that sense of connection to your business cards with its beautifully handcrafted feel. Made from layers of naturally textured Mohawk Superfine paper, its debossed design is pressed the traditional way for a satisfyingly crisp, tactile effect.

Letterpress cards have a plush in-the-hand feeling that signals quality and craftsmanship. With 12 thoughtfully crafted designs, a Letterpress business card is a surefire way to impress your customer.
