Foil & Spot UV Business Cards
This group separates metallic shine from clear raised gloss. Foil Business Cards offer raised or digital foil in shiny gold, holographic or rose gold on heavyweight stocks. Raised Foil Business Cards add a tactile metallic layer over soft touch lamination, with several foil colors and stock thicknesses. Raised Spot UV Business Cards place 40 micron gloss over a matte soft touch base and can combine that effect with selected foil colors.
