Foil Business Card Printing

Yes. You can start at 50, with 100, 250, 500 and 1000 as the next steps. Each price is the total for that quantity, so divide it to compare the cost of one item across a few options before deciding. For an amount outside the list, ask for a quote. Before delivery, these cards cost from £44.09.

Start from how many you will really hand out before your details or offer change. This page goes from 50 up to 5,000, and the price per card usually falls as the number rises, so compare a couple of amounts. For a one-off campaign, a modest first order is a cheap way to test the design. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each card is made to order for you.

Yes. Choose Express and Metallic Foil Business Cards can be on the way in 5 working days on the opening option, for £51.05, where Saver is £44.09 and takes 10 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.

Yes, anywhere in the UK, though the price differs by area. A Highlands postcode on the mainland pays the usual rate plus a single £10 for the order, and that £10 still applies when the rest of the delivery is free. Northern Ireland gets a price worked out first, as do the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man: send your postcode through our Get a quote page or the Contact page. We cannot send anything outside the UK. Before delivery, these cards cost from £44.09.

That is why a person looks at every upload before anything is printed. Typical snags are a document at the wrong size, missing bleed, blurry photos and words sitting too near the trim. If we spot one, we explain what to change and you send a fresh file. Or hand it over to us: for £15 our typesetting places your wording and logo on a neat layout, with one first draft and two rounds of changes. For reference, these cards measure 85 × 55 mm.

Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. Make the artwork for these cards the same size as the one you order, such as 85 × 55 mm.

Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So an 85 × 55 mm layout wants about 1,004 by 650 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it.

Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. For these cards, the material can be 400gsm silk card, 350gsm recycled silk card or 350gsm uncoated card.

Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. Make the artwork for these cards the same size as the one you order, such as 85 × 55 mm.

The lamination option has 2 settings: soft touch, both sides; or soft touch, front. A laminate is a very thin clear layer sealed over the print. Gloss gives richer, punchier colour; matt takes the shine away so photos and text are easier to read under lights; soft touch feels smooth, almost like velvet. Whichever you pick, the surface copes better with scuffs. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. For these cards, the material can be 400gsm silk card, 350gsm recycled silk card or 350gsm uncoated card.

The card option has 3 settings: 400gsm silk card, 350gsm recycled silk card or 350gsm uncoated card. Card thickness is shown as gsm, the weight in grams of one square metre, and more gsm means a sturdier card. Coated silk card gives crisp print; recycled, textured or uncoated cards have a softer, more natural feel and are nicer to write on. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds.

The printed option has 2 settings: both sides or front only. It sets which sides of the item get printed. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. For these cards, the material can be 400gsm silk card, 350gsm recycled silk card or 350gsm uncoated card.

The foil option has 4 settings: Red foil, copper foil, silver foil or Gold foil. Foil is a shiny metallic layer pressed onto selected parts of the design, usually a logo or a name that you want to glint. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. For these cards, the material can be 400gsm silk card, 350gsm recycled silk card or 350gsm uncoated card.

The corners option has 2 settings: Rounded corners or square corners. Square corners are the normal straight cut; rounded corners are trimmed into a gentle curve. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. For these cards, the material can be 400gsm silk card, 350gsm recycled silk card or 350gsm uncoated card.

Comparing Metallic Foil Business Cards with Square Business Cards, this is what changes.

Opening price: £44.09 on this page and £18.89 on the other. On the Standard service it is 7 working days on this page and 6 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.

Comparing Metallic Foil Business Cards with Textured Business Cards, this is what changes.

Opening price: £44.09 on this page and £28.04 on the other. On the Standard service it is 7 working days on this page and 5 on the other.

If they arrive faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, yes: under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we reprint or refund. A change of mind is different. Each order is made to your specification, and reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 takes those goods out of the 14-day right to cancel. Before production starts, though, you can cancel for all your money back. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each card is made to order for you.

Keep the order confirmation email we send: it itemises the purchase and the payment, and works as a plain receipt for your records. The total at checkout for these cards is the goods price on the page plus delivery, so the email matches what left the account. Need something more formal for an audit or a grant claim? Message us from the Contact page with your order number. For reference, these cards measure 85 × 55 mm.

Yes. Fill in our Get a quote page, giving the size, how many, the material, when you need them and the delivery postcode, and attach your artwork if it is ready. A price comes back to you by email. Get a quote is also how delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands gets priced. For reference, these cards measure 85 × 55 mm.

No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding Metallic Foil Business Cards to other items does not add a second one. It is £7.95 to a UK mainland address and nothing once the goods total £100 after any discount code. Using the same design on two items? Pick the reuse-artwork option on the second one and you pay the artwork fee just once. Each line keeps its own size and quantity.

Yes. Type your question into the box on this page and a real person replies. Mention where the card will be used, how long you need it to last and the date you need it by. Answered questions may be shown on the page for other buyers, so leave personal details out of it. Private questions can go through the Contact page, and anything the options here cannot price can go through the Get a quote page. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each card is made to order for you.

There is no need to sign up. Pay as a guest with a bank card, handled securely by Stripe, and you still get an order confirmation email and a tracking email on dispatch. An account is optional; it just keeps your order history in one place. For reference, these cards measure 85 × 55 mm.

No. Each design goes into the basket as a separate line with its own file or online design, and you pay for them all in one checkout. Delivery is counted once for the whole order and costs nothing when the goods reach £100. If two lines share the same artwork, pick the artwork option that reuses a file already in your basket, so any design fee is only paid once. For reference, these cards measure 85 × 55 mm.

FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and Metallic Foil Business Cards are made to order for you rather than taken off a shelf. It then goes to you by courier, with tracking sent by email. Questions before or after ordering go through the box on this page or the Contact page, and a person replies.

Take photos of the damage and the box it came in, then send them through the contact form within 48 hours of delivery, with your order number. Hold on to the item rather than posting it back; we reply and arrange a reprint or refund. This sits alongside your legal rights, which the returns page covers. Choose Saver and these cards leave us after 10 working days; Express brings that down to 5.

Yes. Pick the option to print on both sides and send a two-page PDF: page one for the front, page two for the back. Use the back for a map, opening hours, a price list or terms and conditions, and keep the front for the main message. Make the artwork for these cards the same size as the one you order, such as 85 × 55 mm.

CMYK if you can. An RGB file gets converted to CMYK for printing, and vivid greens, blues and oranges may lose a little brightness on the way. Have a Pantone number for your brand colour? Tell us and we match it as near as the material lets us. Expect a small shift between screen and print either way: a screen shines light at you, while printed items reflect it. For these cards, the material can be 400gsm silk card, 350gsm recycled silk card or 350gsm uncoated card.

For handwriting, uncoated or textured card is best: biro and fountain pen both sit well on it. On silk, a biro works if you let it dry. Gloss and laminated surfaces are slippery for ink, so use a permanent pen and expect some smudging. If the back is for writing on, keep lamination off that side. For these cards, the material can be 400gsm silk card, 350gsm recycled silk card or 350gsm uncoated card.

The essentials are your name and logo, a short line about what you offer, and how to reach you: phone, email, website and the area you serve. Where a registration number is required for your work, include it as text. Leave some space around everything; a crowded design is harder to take in. For these cards, the material can be 400gsm silk card, 350gsm recycled silk card or 350gsm uncoated card.

Store paper and card lying flat, in the box it arrived in, in a dry spot out of sunlight and away from radiators. Moisture makes sheets curl and can cause jams in a printer, and strong light fades the colours over time. Only take out what you need, so the rest stays clean. For these cards, the material can be 400gsm silk card, 350gsm recycled silk card or 350gsm uncoated card.

In most cases, yes, because unlaminated paper and card can go straight into your paper recycling. Foiled, laminated or plastic items are a different matter: they are harder to recycle and councils treat them differently, so look up your local rules first. If that matters to you, recycled options are available. For these cards, the material can be 400gsm silk card, 350gsm recycled silk card or 350gsm uncoated card.
