Gold Foil Stamped Business Cards

Gold foil stamped business cards use a heated die to press metallic film directly into the card stock, leaving a hard, reflective layer that no ink process can replicate. The finish reads as deliberate restraint — most effective when the foil covers a logo, a name, or a single ruled line rather than a full bleed, letting the contrast between matte stock and mirror surface do the work.

Our foil stamping runs on stocks from 16pt to 32pt, with soft-touch laminate and uncoated cotton being the most requested pairings — both absorb light in a way that makes the gold register sharper by comparison. Standard turnaround is seven to ten business days; rush production is available. The die itself is custom-made per job, which means the detail tolerance is tight enough to hold fine serif letterforms cleanly.

One design in the gallery below uses gold foil — a narrow slice of what the finish can do across different industries, card weights, and layout approaches. Browse it as a starting point for understanding proportion and placement before you brief your own.
