Edge Foiling

Edge foiling gives a metallic, reflective sheen to the paper's edges – it’s a century’s old technique frequently used to highlight and protect a book’s pages. Edge Foiling adds elegance and luxury to the edge of your cards from invitations to business cards.


Edge foiling adds a visual highlight - your cards have a more three-dimensional quality. Despite its subtle application, edge foiling makes a bold statement!

As we've perfected it on (pretty much) all card stocks we offer, we can add edge foiling to almost any job.

There are some restrictions though…

Full-solid digital prints with bleed (full colour to the edge) cannot be edge foiled. Due to it being a heat process, we cannot re-heat toner-based print as it affects the heat-fused print.

Very small areas of digital print bleeding off the edge is ok, but still not recommended.

Edge foiling works best on duplexed or triplexed stock that is the same colour (and brand). If we try to edge foil two different coloured duplexed stocks then the dust that is created will show on the other colour which doesn’t look great. If you really want it, we can do it, but it requires a lot more time (for tidying up each piece) and therefore a premium price for the work involved.

We can only foil straight edges, so unfortunately, we can’t do it on die cut shapes, or cards with rounded corners.



Thicker is better!

Edge foiling always looks amazing in a stack. But generally, people only get one piece... So make those gorgeous edges stand out and go with 500gsm + stock.



What colours can I choose?

We have edge foiling available in most of our standard foiling colours. The selection available is in the drop-down when you add foiling to your job. However, some foil colours just aren't available in the grades we require for them to work well on tricky stocks like Cotton. But if we have a problem with your selection, we'll be in touch with alternatives.
