What You Need to Know: Foiling

Foil business cards are one of the most popular requests clients make. However, within this finishing option alone, there are many ways to customize your design.

What is Foiling?
Foil is a shiny metal that adds a shiny, bold color to designated areas of your design. It can be used to highlight important information, such as a name, or used as a design element.
Foiling is a 2-D, flat finishing option. That means if you are looking for a finishing option which gives the illusion of depth, we would not recommend on relying on Foiling.

How do you apply it?
This is still at least partly a manual process. We create a plate of your Foiling design and then someone manually places your order of cards into the machine. If your order is 200 cards, all 200 go in at once. Then we start the machine to stamp each card with your Foiling.
Since the machine relies on a person manually putting the entire order at once into the machine, it can lead to difficulty in predicting alignment outcome.

Can You Explain Oversize Foiling?
We have two different Foiling sizes, a Standard and Oversized. Standard sizing means that your Foiling will stay within 1.57x.79 inches (40×20 mm). Anything larger than this size will be considered Oversized. An Oversized Foiling design requires a bigger plate, which will increase the cost of producing the design.

I only have a little bit of Foiling, how is it considered Oversized?
Since we use a plate to stamp your Foiling, if your Foiling goes outside the Standard sizing then we will need to create a bigger plate to accomplish your design. Therefore, it will still be considered Oversized, which will lead to an increase in price.
This happens quite often when a Foiling design is made up of small details, scattered across the card.

Can I get Foiling going to the edge or close to the edge?
Yes
But this will be more expensive than a normal Oversized Foiling. Since Foiling is stamped on, the machine needs space to hold down the card to stamp the Foiling. If you have Foiling going all the way to the edge of a card, you may not leave any room for the machine to hold down the card. In this case, we need to use extra paper and even more Foiling to give the machine enough space to stamp the design onto the card. Then afterwards we will cut your cards down to your chosen size.
We recommend that you give enough time in your timeline to discuss your plan with our printing team before you place your order.

How perfect is MorningPrint’s alignment?
Pretty perfect, but we can not guarantee it each time.
As we explained above, stamping on Foiling is still partly a manual process. Therefore if you want to have perfect alignment, we can not guarantee that it will exactly perfect. We will certainly do our best each time.

Can MorningPrint add two Foiling colors on the card?
Yes
Having two different Foiling colors requires creating two different plates, to stamp the cards twice. Sometimes, a client wants to have two Foiling colors close together. This is possible, but keep in mind, you will need to take time speaking with the printing team to discuss any risk of misalignment. In the past we have achieved perfect alignment, but there is no guarantee it will be perfect for your order.

What is the MorningPrint Foiling paper?
We do not have one specific Foiling paper. You can have Foiling on just about any of our over 50 different paper selections.
Some papers are more off white and creamy, like Nouveau, Heavy Nouveau, Sumo Nouveau, Aquarelle and Heavy Aquarelle. Off white papers naturally tend to be warmer.
If you choose to use Glossy Gold Foil, or Matte Gold Foil, you will be accentuating the off white and warm undertones, maybe to the point of looking a little yellow. If this is not your goal, but you would like to use one of these papers, we might recommend including a background color, or a design with multiple colors.
Other papers, like Silky Matte, Heavy Silky Matte, Linen and Heavy Linen, are a crisp, bright white. These cards will always look like a bright, matte white. If you use colder colors, like green and blue, then the card will ultimately look cold. This could be useful in more modern designs. If this is not your goal, but you want one of these papers, then we would recommend adding a background color or a design with multiple colors.

What Foiling colors do you offer?
Glossy Gold, Matte Gold, Glossy Silver, Matte Silver, Red, Blue, Green, Pink, Black, Bronze, Hologram and Pearl

Does MorningPrint color the Foiling?
No
Unlike other printers, we do NOT start with silver Foiling and paint it a color.

Will the color fade away?
No

What is Glossy Gold and what is Matte Gold Foiling?
Glossy Gold is highly reflective and is the exact color of yellow gold jewelry
Matte Gold has almost no shine, at certain angles it will have a slight glow. Matte Gold also tends to have an orange tint in it’s coloring.

Is the Hologram Foiling all the colors in the rainbow or is it selective (like just the blues or just the reds)?
In general, our Foiling shows the entire rainbow of colors.
However, we have noticed that if the design is narrow or made up of thin lines, it can be harder to see the full rainbow. In this instance, the Hologram Foiling looks more like a range of blues.

Black Paper and Colored Paper

What is the difference between colored paper and printing with ink to color a card?
-Ink printing allows you to create any color you want using CMYK values. This can also mean that it can vary in the final printing result.
-The edge of the ink printed card will be white

Scarlet and Midnight Colored Paper

Is colored paper right for you?
-Yes, if you want the entire card, even the edges to be completely colored.
-Yes, if you want to be absolutely sure of the color you will receive
-Yes, if you like thin business cards, because Color Business Cards are fairly thin.

Indigo and Sapphire Pearl Colored Business Cards

I do not want the colors you offer for Colored Business Cards. Can you change it for me?
-No.
-If you want a different color than what we have offered in our Colored Business Cards, you need to use ink printing to create the color using CMYK values.

Brown Kraft and Antique Gold Pearl

Can I do ink printing on Colored Business Cards?
-You can only print with white ink. Colored paper is so boldly colored, printing using a color other than white will affect the final printed result.

Espresso and Emerald Colored Business Cards

Do I want Midnight or Black Paper?
-Midnight: A thin, black business card option from our Colored Business Cards prints white ink. It only takes one day to finish printing. It can also allows Foiling.
–Black: A thick, black business card with the option to upgrade the paper thickness. The entire design will be done in Foiling.

Left to right: Matte Gold Foil, Glossy Gold Foil Black Business Cards

Can Black Paper allow ink printing?
-No
-Black paper is heavily saturated, which makes it difficult to get accurate color representation with ink printing. In order to have accurate color results, we offer Foiling which is stamped on. Therefore, you can be sure of the color in the final result.

Left to right: Blue Foil, Pink Foil Black Business Cards

How many Foiling colors can I have?
-As many as you like, after approval of the printing team
-The website automatically focuses on one type of Foiling color per set of Black business cards. However, you can have as many Foiling colors as you like, but you need to run the design through our printing team to make sure there are no technical issues with your design.

Glossy Gold Foil with Matte Silver Foil Black Business Cards

I want a thick black business card. What are my options?
-Black Paper business cards are the best choice. They come in two thicknesses; 14pt, which is the standard business card thickness in the U.S. and in 16 pt, which is slightly thicker.

Left to right: Black Foil Black Business Cards, Raised Ink Black Business Cards

I want a white ink printed look, but on the thick black paper business cards. What do you recommend?
-Use the Black Paper business cards and select Matte Silver Foiling. Since it has little to no shine, and is a light gray color, it can give a final result of white ink printing.

A Step by Step Guide on How to Order Business Cards

Step One: Set your budget
Business cards can be purchased in a wide range of prices, but budget can still affect your actual options if you want a very specific or customized business card. Budget will definitely play a factor in the next steps.

Step Two A: Decide if you need a Digital Printer or Offset
Deciding which kind of printer you want is based off what type of printing you want done. It is can also be based on budget.
Digital printing is done using toner, like the printers all of us have at home. Larger printers can use ink, but the process is the same as the home printers. Digital printing usually prints cards one at a time, therefore small orders can be placed. While it has improved over time, the quality of color accuracy can vary. This is type of printing is more affordable.

Offset printing is that a plate is created to roll the ink and design onto the cards themselves. All offset printers offer large quantities, because the machines only work with large quantities. That is why you will see a minimum quantity of 100 or 200 depending on the paper. The quality of color accuracy is high. It is slightly more expensive than digital printing, but if you want a certain quality and accuracy in your print job, you might want to consider leaving room in the budget for offset printing.

Step Two B: Decide whether you want a CMYK or Pantone printer
CMYK means that colors are created using the CMYK values of the design C stands for Cyan- blue, M stands for Magenta- red, Y stands for yellow, and K stands for key- black. Therefore the individual quantities you give each of these settings will create the color.
Think of CMYK as when you are coloring as a little kid. If you use an equal amount of blue and red, you will get purple. It is the same thing with CMYK. If you wish to have let’s say a dark blue, make sure the value for K-red is quite low so you will avoid getting the color purple. In general, it is a good idea to remember that with CMYK, you need a wide range between the values to ensure you get the color you want.

Pantone reproduces the most accurate colors in design. With Pantone, you can specify the numbers of the shades you wish to use. Usually you will be priced for the amount of colors you wish to use. However, such accuracy makes Pantone the most costly.

–MorningPrint is an offset CMYK printer, which means we use plates and CMYK colors to print your designs

Step Three: Check your timeline
Choice of printers can be affected by a number of reasons, budget, CMYK or Pantone, delivery, and also processing times. For the most part, it is a good idea to leave printers 2 weeks to process and deliver your order. We can bet some people may be surprised at this length of time, but business cards are a serious purchase. They represent you and your business, and if you rush through the process or do not do your research, there is a good chance that you will feel the cards do not properly represent your standards.

That being said, it can be possible that you need a fast print job. Maybe there is a conference or meet up you were not originally attending, and now you are. We understand that. In such a case, look into custom printers who can print quickly. Not every printer offers that service. If you need same day delivery, we would suggest looking into local digital printers, because you can physically go and pick up the cards yourself. In such cases as these, it is also best to keep your design wishes realistic. Maybe instead of having finishing options, such as Foiling, it might be better to only have ink printing.

-If you need faster printing and delivery, MorningPrint offers fast processing times, including a Same Day Printing service. Just keep in mind, Same Day Printing does not mean same day delivery.
-If you do not need same day delivery, but do need business cards in a week, some of our products which have 1-2 business day processing time might be a good fit for you.

Step Four A: Order samples 
Step Four A and Four B are the most important steps in the process.
At MorningPrint, we strongly recommend that everyone order samples from the printer they wish to work with. We do not mean to print a sample card of their specific design. We refer to the actual material itself.

Step Four B: Choose the business card material
Most people finalize their design and then pick a material. It is actually better to choose the material first, because each product has their own specific characteristic, which makes them suited for different design styles. In addition, you will know details such as the brightness of the white, the thickness, the texture, etc. It is easier to design around the material rather than to create a design and find a material that will enhance or complement it.
Once you see the samples, you will also know whether you want a paper or plastic business card. Keep in mind that not all paper or plastics are the same.

-MorningPrint currently offers over 60 different types of paper and over 20 different kinds of plastic business cards. Within paper we have different kinds of shine, matte, thicknesses and whites, colors. In plastic, we have less variety of thickness but a wide variety in appearance. Therefore, it is best you see and feel these cards before you start designing because they may not be what you are imagining.

Step Five: Design by yourself or hire a graphic designer
Based on budget, decide whether or not you will get a designer or if you will do the design yourself. Regardless of your choice, you should know that custom printers require a high resolution, at least of 300 dpi to be able to have a high quality print job.
If you choose to design by yourself, keep in mind that most online/mobile graphic design and business card apps produce low resolution designs.
-If you choose to work with MorningPrint, you can use our online template called ‘Customize Designs’ located on almost every product page.
-If you are a graphic designer using MorningPrint, please set the design colors to CMYK setting instead of RGB. RGB is for computer design, not for commercial printing.

Step Six: Follow upload guidelines
Each printer has their own specific instructions to do a proper upload for a custom print order. The reason for this is because each printer has their own specific sizing for business cards, and their own process for business cards.
– MorningPrint has several different business card sizes, such as Standard, European, Slim and Australian (we can also do custom sizing). For standard sizing, we offer downloadable templates for both paper and plastic choices. Keep in mind that if you wish to utilize a Finishing Option, such as Foiling or Raised Ink, you will need to visit those specific pages to incorporate their guideline instructions into your design.

Step Seven: Double check your design/order with the printer before submitting it
Some custom printers automatically offer proofs of your design. Others do not. If your printer does not offer a proof, then try contacting them over the phone or through their customer service center and request one separately.
Also keep in mind that some printers may be able to do a physical proof, others may not be able to. A digital printer will be able to send you physical samples of your card, because they can print small quantities of cards. An offset printer will not be able to do this because they can only handle large quantities of cards. However, an offset printer may be able to do a digital proof.
-MorningPrint uses the design submitted with the order as the final proof. However if you would like a proof, please leave your design in your Shopping Cart and submit a request to our online Customer Center. We will gladly give a digital proof prior to payment.

Step Eight: Submit your order
Each printer has their own website, and their own way of moving through the website to place an order. If you wish to use MorningPrint, read on.

Tips to Keep in Mind When Designing a Business Card

Creating the right business card for your business is not a simple task. It is not just about creating a unique design, it has to be the right design which not only represents your business, but will also serve it’s purpose of carrying information. Here are some tips from MorningPrint of what to keep in mind when designing your business card.

Make Your Information the Star
Keep your information the focal point of your design by incorporating large fonts. Make sure the coloring is not too subtle, so that it stands out from the background. We also recommend using simple, crisp fonts over fancy or complicated ones. By keeping the text information the focal point of your card, you are ensuring that your information is successfully passed on through your business card. If you must use a smaller or thinner font, then we strongly recommend using stamped Foiling on your text to ensure legibility.

Research before you buy
Each printing company has their own requirements for submitting files for printing. However, most printing companies use CMYK ink. Therefore, your design should be set to CMYK color settings.
You should also keep in mind that commercial printers require a good quality printing file. That means the resolution of your design should be set to at least 300 dpi. A low quality printing file leads to bad prints jobs, like blurriness.

Try incorporating your branding into your card
Integrating your company’s brand into your business card is an easy way to promote your company’s message. You can do this by using the company colors or by using a certain font of your text. If you have the space, you can also incorporate small design elements that will accentuate your information. For example, the above card is for a beauty salon and they incorporate lips into their business card.

Have a reason to use special effects
Every so often we get a client who wants to use Foiling, Spot UV, and Embossing all on one side of their design. It seems to be a common misconception that the more special effects used makes your card more special. The opposite is actually true. Too many special effects can be distracting from the information of your business card.

Follow the example for the business card above, which is for a graphic designer. He has Black Paper, which only allows foiling for his information. Since his text is foiled, he used a smaller font. And he kept the main focus on his laser cut logo. It is simple and natural.

Rely on the material itself
If you stay patient and use your time researching the different products that we offer, you will able to pick up on which type of paper or plastic is best suited to your design.
For example the above card uses Heavy Nouveau paper with Bronze Foiling, Blind Press Embossing and a Hole Punch. But when you look at the card, you are still able to see the elegant, creamy white characteristics of the paper.

MorningPrint Products and Services

As a truly customizable printing company, MorningPrint offers a wide range of services and products. We understand it can be difficult to know which product works best for your design. In this article we offer a quick generalized overview of our various products to help guide you to whichever product works best for your design.

Paper Business Cards
Our paper business cards have the most choices of all the papers. Ranging in more than just thickness, we offer textured paper, metallic paper, matte paper and even black paper. We encourage everyone to read about our products before creating your design to choose the best paper for your design. For additional special effect we can add foiling, embossing, raised ink (also known as thermographic printing). Please check
the specific paper to know which finishing options are available.

Texture Papers range in thickness and amount and type of texture. Tant is the thinnest and most textured paper, while Heavy Aquarelle is the thickest paper with a watercolor texture. Read What You Need to Know: Texture Paper to learn more about Tant, Heavy Aquarelle and every textured paper in between.
Metallic Paper such as Heavy Star Dream and Keaykolour Metallic range not just in thickness and the type of shine each paper features. Keaykolour Metallic has two different colors to take into account, the off white paper and then the brilliant frosty
shine. To learn about each metallic paper, read What You Need to Know: Metallic Papers.
Matte Papers include the Nouveau and Heavy Nouveau: The Blank Slate and Sumo Nouveau: The Thickest Paper. The Nouveau family is all made with a creamy and luxorious white true matte paper. These papers are thought of as elegant and are universally liked.

Black Paper is the richest black a design can achieve because it is naturally black. This type of paper only does foiling, no ink printing. To learn more about this specific type of black paper, read Black Paper: The Deepest Black.
Plastic Business Cards
Our plastic business cards are all made of PET plastic, which is an environmentally friendly material. As such, they are quite thin, and flexible. This thinness does not mean these plastics are flimsy. All our plastic business cards are waterproof and durable.

Clear Plastic is like looking through a glass, and every part of your design that has white ink will be clear. We recommend avoiding soft colors and thin fonts as this could create an issue with legibility. We do offer a clear plastic which can print white ink, it is called Clear+White Plastic. To learn more about these two plastics, read Clear Plastic Business Cards.
Opaque White Plastic has a thin layer of white ink to the entire card which is ideal for those with many small, white details. Meanwhile the Frosty Plastic is slightly thicker than the other plastic cards, and can only do foiling, no ink printing.

Silver Plastic Family includes several types of metallic plastic cards. The solid silver plastic card is as reflective as a mirror while other silver plastic cards have sparkling glitter throughout the cards. Read our What You Need to Know: Silver Plastics to learn more. The Gold Plastic Family involves solid gold as well as gold plastic cards with sparkling glitter, both solid and transparent. Read What You Need to Know: the Gold Plastic Family for more details.

Die Cuts

Die Cuts are the most customizable form of printing. We offer templates for over 50 shapes. Some of our standard shapes include circles, ovals, houses, and dog bones. However, if the client wishes to create their own custom shape, we can do this as well. These shapes are automatically printed on the Standard Coated 14pt Matte, but you can choose any type of paper you like for our Die Cuts. Doing so, will alter the price, but it is possible. If a paper that is compatible with Raised Ink is chosen, we are able to add this finishing option to your order as well. Finishing options offered with the Standard Coated 14pt Matte include foiling, embossing and spot uv. If you wish to learn more about our Die Cuts, please read Die Cuts: The Most Customizable Cards.

Stickers

Stickers come in several types of options, such as Uncoated, Coated, Silver, and Durable. These types of stickers come with individual characteristics. For example, Coated Stickers had a bright shine and some slight durability against any type of wear and tear. Uncoated stickers are made with matte paper, meaning no shine. We also offer a Strong Adhesive Sticker which includes an extra strong glue. These same types of stickers can be used in our standard, as well as custom shapes. All stickers are able to offer foiling. MorningPrint also offers metal stickers, in both gold and silver. A highly customizable sticker, pricing must be done through our printing team. Read our article, Stickers to learn more about all of these options.

Postcards

Made from the some of the same papers as our paper business cards and come in two sizes, 4×6 and 5×7. A folding line is possible on these postcards. Also, custom sizing can be possible, but you must speak with our printing team to check the possibility of your design as well as for a quote. Other finishing options such as foiling, embossing and raised ink are also possible depending on the chosen paper. Postcards can be used as invitations, holiday cards, and business supplies.

Black Paper: The Deepest Black

Glossy Silver Foiling on Black Paper

MorningPrint offers black paper business cards which are ideal for designs which require a rich, saturated black background. It is much simpler to choose a naturally black paper, then to try to color a white paper black. As a naturally solid black business card, this paper choice will not have a white edge.

Matte Gold Foiling

This is a true matte paper, meaning the black business cards do not have any sort of shine to the paper. Despite it’s matte characteristic, the natural black coloring is deep and rich. With this particular stock, all clients can opt for a thicker black paper. You are able to change the thickness of the paper through the box options during the ordering process.

Glossy Gold Foiling

The Black Paper stock is unable to print ink due to it’s dark coloring. Instead, all designs are stamped on with foiling to ensure legibility. Foiling works better than printing because there is a guaranteed contrast between both the materials used and the colors. Foiling is a shiny metal colored in bright colors, with a black matte paper as a background.

Bronze Foiling on Black Paper

 

Blue and Matte Silver Foiling

The second reason foiling is a better option for Black Paper than printing is because it is stamped on. By stamping on the foiling, we will not be trying to color a black paper. If it is almost impossible to see crayon coloring against a black paper on a child’s drawing, then it will be almost impossible to see printed ink against a black paper in commercial printing. Also, by stamping on the foiling, we can guarantee that even designs with thin, small fonts can be easy to read.

Hot Pink Foiling on Black Paper

For those who would like to make sure they can read their cards, but would like a printed look compared to a foiled one, MorningPrint has a solution for you. While no ink (including white ink) can be printed on this paper, the Matte Silver foiling can at times resemble white ink. In our experience, thinner designs and fonts stamped with Matte Silver can be more easily confused for white ink.

Matte Silver Foiling on Black Paper

In addition, for a more subtle design we recommend Black foiling and Black Raised Ink. The matte foiling reflects less light while the glossy foiling emphasizes the shine. Both Black foiling and Black Raised Ink are best viewed under certain lighting. However, it will not strain anyone’s eye to read them.

Black Foiling on Black Paper

 

Black Raised Ink on Black Paper

The following foiling colors are what we offer with our Black Paper:
Glossy Gold, Matte Gold
Glossy Silver, Matte Silver
Black, Black Raised Ink
Bronze, Hologram
Blue, Green
Pink, Red

5. Please give us a brief history of your business and some of the services you provide.

I am just starting out as a part-time freelance artist. I’ve created a few works over the years under various online pseuds, but only this year have I finally started to take it seriously. So, I’ve started over fresh with an actual brand identity. Mostly, I focus on creating fan art prints and cute button badges to sell at conventions. I’m available for art commissions, and am setting up an online shop for my badges. Recently, I also created a limited art print run to be raffled off at local comic conventions for charity.

6. Our favorite element of your card is feeling of the design. It looks simple yet stands out as looking fun and modern. How did you come up with the design?

I came up with the design because I wanted a business card that represented my style and products, but needed it to stand out among the masses. I also have a lot of love for fun, off-beat aesthetics. So, I decided pink shiny foil would be very eye catching, and it would work amazingly with the type of cute, simple character designs I use for my badges.

7. What made you choose Black Paper?

I used black paper because it stands out among a group of cards, and it looks amazing with foil. Your eye is automatically drawn to the pop of color within the void. I really just love the aesthetic!

*To see a video of the foiling in the card shining, click here*

8. The character in your design has movement to it. What was your inspiration for the character?

My inspiration for the character was two fold: first, it’s meant to fit in small places like badges and business cards, but second, it’s a character from a space themed series. I thought curling it up like that was an excellent use of badge/card real estate, while giving it the quality that it’s free floating, light, and in motion (like it’s in zero-g).

9. What made you choose MorningPrint?

I chose MorningPrint for their amazing selection. There’s so many types of business cards to choose from, which is how I stumbled across the black card/pink foil combo. Also, MorningPrint has excellent prices, and runs smaller numbers of cards so that you can order a shorter stock to get a feel for the design without breaking your wallet, or being left with hundreds of cards you don’t like.

10. How was your experience with MorningPrint? Would you recommend us to others?

My experience was amazing! The cards are beautiful and arrived so fast, I couldn’t believe it. I’m extremely satisfied, and will definitely be ordering a new batch when my shop and website are up and running.
