Designing Gold Foil Embossed Business Cards

Business cards communicate the identity of you as a brand. So, there should be no compromise with the kind of look and design or even the material in which you want to get them printed. Choosing the finest quality base or paper is only one aspect of getting the cards printed. The designing plays the most important role.

Adding a metallic shine to your cards can add a very special touch but it is very important to not overdo it. So, if you are thinking of getting goldfoil embossed business cards printed, make sure that they are free of the following designing mistakes.

1. Using unreadable font: The font used on foil embossed cards should always be clear and professional to look at. Avoid excessively fancy details as it would make the surface appear crammed and unreadable.
   
2. Lack of contrast: There should be a high contrast between the color of the card’s base and the color of the foil being used. It is better to avoid metallic colors anywhere on the card.
   
3. Problems of spacing: The cards are usually printed on one large sheet and then cut out individually. So, the right spacing must be kept in mind when they are being designed.
