Nutcracker holiday greeting card sample on 19pt suede stock featuring 3D raised metallic foil accents

Print custom holiday cards and greeting cards with 19pt raised metallic foil for 3D tactile elements you can visually see and physically feel. Your cards are printed in vibrant full CMYK process color with your choice of raised Gold, Silver, or Iridescent foil on 19 point thick suede laminated card stock.

The contrast between the velvety soft suede lamination and the glossy 3D raised foil accents provides a rich sensory connection that immediately sets your custom greeting cards apart.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS & FEATURES

• Premium 19pt Suede Stock: Printed on durable 16pt coated card stock and double-laminated with a 1.5mil scuff-resistant, soft suede laminate.

• 3D Raised Metallic Foil: Highlight your design, holiday message, or company logo with raised Gold foil, Silver foil, or Iridescent foil on one side.

• Vibrant Full-Color Printing: Crisp CMYK process printing combined with raised foil accents for maximum visual contrast.

• Standard Greeting Card Sizes: Available in standard 7" x 5" folded cards (flat size 7" x 10") perfect for holidays, corporate greetings, and special events.

Coatings Make The Colour Vary

Colors under suede lamination will appear slightly muted and may alter the final result. (Even 100% K will appear somewhat charcoal in color.) Color matching of artwork is not suited to this product.

What is the difference between Foil Stamping and Raised Foil

Foil Stamping has a flat finish foil whereas Raised Foil has a raised foil finish. If you run your fingers over the card you will feel the foil. Ask us for a sample to see and feel the difference for yourself!

Fine Details Don't Translate Well To Raised Foil

Due to the nature of the raised foil application fine details may expand and fill in unexpectedly. If the foil layer includes a lot of fine detail, tight corners, etc., the foil will result in some filling in, especially at smaller sizes. We do not recommend having fonts smaller than 10pt on the Raised Foil Artwork. If you use fonts with thicker strokes or bold fonts, we do not recommend having fonts smaller than 12pt. Make sure that raised foil designs are as simple and large as possible.

Not For Large Areas Of Foil Coverage

For best results, please make sure that foil coverage is less than 50%. Otherwise, the foil will be wavy and won’t look good. The only time a 50-75% coverage is acceptable is with patterns, thin strokes or small shapes.

Can I have any printing under the raised foil?

We highly recommend having a solid color behind the foil mask. Elements under the foil mask might be visible through the foil after application.

Knockouts Are Not Recommended

Knockouts are not recommended since there may be a shift (up to 1/16”) when the foil is applied.

Foil Layer Must Be Supplied As Vector

For this finishing method, the mask file must be a vector file created in vector-based programs such as Illustrator.
