Can I Add Foil Personalization to my Card?

Yes—on select Digital Press products, you can upgrade your design with foil personalization. Foil adds a metallic, reflective finish to text or artwork for a premium look.

What Is a Digital Press Product?

Digital press products are printed directly from a digital file onto flat sheets of cardstock, then cut and sometimes folded into the final product.

  • Supports full personalization (text, logos, photos, and more)
  • Allows full‑color and full‑bleed printing
  • Offers fast turnaround times
  • Special finishes like foil can be added as an upgrade on select products

How to Add Foil in the Editor

When editing a qualifying product, you will see color options that include both ink and foil choices.

  • Select text or artwork in the editor
  • Click the color icon
  • Choose from available ink colors or foil finishes

Foil options will only appear on designs and panels that support foil.

Important Foil Guidelines

1. Foil Placement Is Limited to One Side

  • Flat cards: Foil can be applied to the front or back—not both
  • Folded cards:
    • Foil can be applied to the front/back or
    • The inside panels (left/right for vertical fold or top/bottom for horizontal fold)

2. One Foil Color per Product

  • You can switch elements between ink and foil
  • However, only one foil color can be used per product
  • If you change the foil color, all foil elements will update to that same color

3. Foil Is an Additional Cost

Adding foil is considered a premium upgrade and will increase the price of your product. Pricing updates automatically as you make selections in the editor.

How to Remove Foil and Its Charge

  1. Open the product editor. If the item is already in your cart, click the Edit icon next to it. You do not need to remove the item and re-add it; your customization will remain in place.
  2. Check each panel of your design. Select every text box and image, and change any Foil color to an Ink color.
  3. Check your envelope, too. If the return address uses Foil, change it to Ink.
  4. Save your changes. Pricing updates automatically, and the foil upgrade charge is removed once no foil selections remain.

If the charge still appears, check the other panels and envelope return address for a selection that is still set to Foil.

Helpful Tips

  • Use foil to highlight key elements like your company name, greeting, or logo
  • Preview each side of your card to confirm foil placement
  • Keep designs simple for the best foil effect
