Flat Foil Business Cards
A metallic mirror-bright finish on one face of the card, produced as digital foil. The foil lies level with the paper, with no raised texture, and the design can be printed on both sides.
Flat foil business cards carry a mirror-bright metallic coating on one side. To make them, the card is printed on a digital press, then foil film is bonded to the printed toner under heat and pressure. The foil takes only where toner has been printed, so the result is a flush finish with no raised texture and no embossing.
With a minimum of 100 cards from $1.59 inc GST and 48-hour production available, premium branding does not have to come with a premium lead time.

- Five foil colors: Choose from gold, silver, rose gold, copper, or holographic foil to match your brand aesthetic and industry.
- Flush foil, no embossing: Flat foil sits flush with the paper surface, smooth and sleek, with mirror-bright shine and no raised texture.
- Print on both sides: Foil is applied to one side only, but you can print your full design on both front and back.
- Digital foil process: A real metallic film, not ink, is bonded to the printed surface under heat and pressure, so it reads as genuine metal. The result is a flush, mirror-bright finish that follows the printed artwork.
- Holographic shifts with the angle: Holographic changes hue as the card moves, throwing a rainbow effect that reads from across the room, which is why creative studios, event businesses, and modern retailers reach for it.
- The stock decides the register: Silver against a dark base creates a striking contrast that stands out in a card holder, while rose gold against a pale base reads soft and premium, so the pairing sets whether the card feels modern or warm.
- Catches light where plain blends in: A plain card can disappear into the stack, whereas a metallic accent catches the light and draws the eye, and people are more likely to keep and remember a card that feels special.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Flat Foil Business Cards?
Flat foil business cards are made with a digital foil process. The card is printed on a digital press, then metallic foil film is bonded to the printed toner under heat and pressure. Because the foil takes only where toner has been printed, the artwork guides the foil and no metal die is needed. The finish is a flush, level surface, unlike Raised Foil Business Cards, which have a textured, raised profile. This process is also known as sleeking.
Can I print foil on both sides?
Foil is applied to one side only, but you can print on both front and back.
Can I mix foil colours on one card?
Not on flat foil cards. Choose one foil colour per card.
Is there a texture to flat foil?
No, flat foil sits flush with the paper. It is smooth and sleek. For texture, see our Raised Foil Business Cards.
Which foil colours are available for flat foil business cards?
Flat foil business cards are available in five foil colours: gold, silver, rose gold, copper, and holographic. Gold suits professional services and luxury brands. Rose gold is popular with beauty, lifestyle, and wedding businesses. Silver works well for modern and minimal brands. Copper offers a warm, earthy alternative. Holographic shifts colour with the viewing angle and is ideal for bold, creative brands. Order a sample pack to see each finish in person before you commit to your full order.

Order a sample pack to see and feel each foil option in person.

The metal film goes on one side of the card, while the design can be printed on both sides. Starting at just $1.59 inc GST, with a minimum of 100 cards, flat foil makes premium branding accessible.

Why Foil Business Cards
For business owners, sales professionals, and event planners, a business card is often the first physical touchpoint with a brand. Standard cards can blend in, but foil business cards catch the light, draw attention, and leave a lasting impression long after the conversation ends. From rose gold business cards for modern brands to bold copper foil business cards for creative industries, foil adds dimension and sophistication that flat ink simply cannot replicate. If you want your brand to feel premium, intentional, and established, foil is the upgrade that makes the difference. Using foil is not just a design choice, it is a strategic one. Elevated brand perception: Foil accents instantly communicate quality and credibility. Visual impact: Metallic finishes reflect light, making key details like logos or names stand out. Versatility: Choose from gold, silver, copper, rose gold, or holographic business cards for a bold, modern look. Memorability: People are more likely to keep and remember a card that feels special. For brands that want something truly eye-catching, custom holographic business cards offer a futuristic finish that shifts colour depending on the angle, perfect for creative studios, tech businesses, and modern retailers.
Foil Colour Options for Business Cards
Flat foil business cards are available in five foil colours, each suited to different brand aesthetics and industries.
Gold foil is the classic choice, offering a warm, rich metallic finish that works across professional services, luxury brands, and traditional industries. If you want prestige and timelessness, gold is the go-to.
Rose gold foil business cards have become a signature choice for beauty salons, wedding vendors, lifestyle brands, and creative businesses. The warm, blush-toned metallic finish feels modern and approachable without sacrificing sophistication. Rose gold pairs beautifully with white, cream, or navy stock for a soft, premium result.
Silver foil delivers a cool, clean metallic finish that reads as modern and minimal. Silver metallic business cards suit tech companies, architects, photographers, and any brand that wants a contemporary edge. Silver on a black or navy stock creates a striking contrast that stands out in any card holder.
Copper foil offers a warm, earthy tone that sits between gold and rose gold. It suits artisan businesses, hospitality brands, and anyone who wants something a little different from the standard metallic palette.
Holographic foil shifts colour depending on the viewing angle, creating a rainbow effect that catches attention from across the room. Ideal for creative studios, event businesses, and brands that want to make a bold statement.
All five foil colours are available on Matte, Premium, Heavyweight, Navy, and Black card stock. Order a sample pack to see and feel each finish before committing to your full run.
