Foil or Spot UV? How to set up your mask files
Give your brand a little brilliance.
Turn a simple introduction into a polished brand moment with custom foil business cards. Reflective metallic accents catch the light and draw attention to the details that make your business yours: your logo, name, monogram or signature design.
Create an understated look with a single foil accent, or make a bolder statement with striking typography and full-color artwork. Whether your style is modern and minimal, warm and sophisticated, or colorful and expressive, foil adds a finishing touch that feels intentional.
Choose from seven foil colors: gold, silver, rose gold, copper, black, blue and red. Pair your design with smooth 16pt silk, classic 14pt uncoated or substantial 32pt uncoated cardstock to create the impression you want customers to take away.
Use them at consultations, client meetings, networking events and checkout counters, or tuck one into a beautifully packaged order. A thoughtfully designed foil card carries your brand’s attention to detail into every introduction.

Make a mask: a copy of your design in solid black (C: 0, M: 0, Y: 0, K: 100) where the foil goes and white everywhere else, at the same size and position as your print file. Keep the background color solid under the foil, and allow for up to 1/16" shift. Our step-by-step foil and Spot UV file guide (linked below) shows every step.
