Why should I choose Foil Postcards?
Raised foil takes your brand to the next level AND makes your customers feel extra special. With a tactile, metallic shine that really stands out against the paper’s velvety Soft Touch coating. The kinds of Postcards that make people go “Ooh” and “Aah” when they see them. Because the paper’s also nicely “un-bendy” too.
How much do Foil Postcards cost?
That will depend on the size and turnaround time you choose for your Gold or Silver Postcards. To get an accurate quote in seconds, give our online cost calculator a go.
Are Foil Postcards available with Printfinity?
Yes, you can print up to 25 different designs per pack for FREE. All our Postcards are also double-sided and full color.
How can I create my foil Postcards?
It’s all really simple. First you choose how big you want your Postcards to be, and the kinds of foil you’d like (Silver or Gold Postcards? Decisions!). Then you upload your design - or rather designs, because you can print a different image on the back of every custom Postcard with our unique Printfinity technology. Make sure you give them a good look over once they’re all uploaded and you’re all set.
Where can I add foil on my Postcards?
You can add Silver or Gold Foil to any side you have coated. That's because the foil goes on top of the Soft Touch coating. If you leave a side uncoated (if you want to write on it, say), then you won't be able to foil that side.
