FAQs - Painted Edge Business Cards

What are painted edge business cards?

Painted-edge business cards are modern and unique. They use bright colors to make a three-dimensional effect that stands out. The edges of the card are painted a different color than the front or back.
This gives it a raised look and feel that draws attention. This style stands out more than plain white paper cards and gives your brand a more sophisticated look.

You can paint the edge any color you want, so you can choose one that fits with the style of your business. Also important is the card's thickness.
Thick cards usually make a better impression, but they cost more than thin cards. Overall, painting the edges makes your card stand out visually and makes it feel different.
People won't forget something they can see and touch.

 Foiled vs painted edge business cards

Business cards with a foiled edge are made by pressing a thin sheet of foil against a printed card at a precise temperature and pressure. The result is the use of metallic or holographic finishes, which give it a durable finish and make even the simplest designs look more interesting.
Foil is also very opaque, which means that if you use it on dark paper, it won't bleed through like paints often do, giving you good results.

Painted-edge business cards use special pigment ink that is painted over printed edges on pre-cut cardstock paper. This creates opaque coverage on all four sides of the cardstock when needed for full decoration effect.
Painted edges are much cheaper than foiling, but they aren't as eye-catching. However, they can still look great with creative design combinations and offer much more flexibility during the printing process.

What are the benefits of a painted edge business card?
