Shine Above the Rest: Raised Foil Business Cards
Make your brand impossible to ignore. Our Raised Foil business cards combine a velvety “Soft Touch” matte background with metallic foil that is visibly raised above the surface of the card.
How It Works: We start with our premium 16pt cardstock and apply a soft suede/silk lamination. Then, we add a layer of metallic foil (Gold, Silver, or Copper) that you can actually feel. The result is a stunning 3D metallic effect that catches the light from every angle.
Why Choose Raised Foil?
-
Metallic Brilliance: Real metallic foil shines brighter than ink ever could.
-
3D Texture: The foil is raised 50 microns high, creating a tactile experience your clients will remember.
-
Premium Contrast: The shiny foil pops dramatically against the matte velvet background.
Ideal For:
-
Luxury Brands & Real Estate
-
High-End Retail
-
VIP Membership Cards

Just like Spot UV, Raised Foil requires a Mask File:
-
Print File (CMYK): Your main design (background, text, images).
-
Foil Mask File (Black & White):
-
100% Black (K): Areas where you want Foil.
-
White: Areas with NO Foil. Note: Do not put the foil design in your CMYK print file. It must be separate.
-
Yes! You can choose to have Raised Foil on the front only, or on both sides for maximum impact.
-
Traditional Foil Stamping: Presses the foil into the paper (debossed).
-
Raised Foil: Sits on top of the paper (embossed 3D feel). It is more modern and tactile.
The standard size in Canada is 3.5″ x 2″ (89mm x 51mm).
Design Tip: If your design has a background color, please include a “bleed” (extra margin). Your total file size should be 3.625″ x 2.125″ to prevent white edges after cutting.
These are our most substantial cards. With the 16pt stock + lamination + raised foil, the total thickness feels like a robust 19pt.
FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) means the paper is sourced from responsibly managed forests.
Over 90% of our cardstocks are FSC® certified, so you can feel good about printing with us.
Since Spot UV is a custom finish, we cannot print a single custom sample. However, you can visit our shop at 1798 St Matthews Ave to see examples of Spot UV cards we have printed for other clients.
