Foil is not ink that looks metallic. It is a thin layer of real metal film pressed onto the card, so it reflects light the way jewelry does. Nothing else in print gets that reaction when someone turns the card in their hand.
Setting up the foil
Send two files: your artwork in full color, and a foil file the same size that is solid 100% black where the foil goes and white everywhere else (black, not gold or silver: the black only marks the spot). Keep foil at least 0.2 in (5 mm) inside the trim line, foil text 8 pt or larger in a regular or medium weight, and lines at least 0.5 pt. The File setup tab shows it step by step.
Matte or soft touch
Matte lamination keeps the foil crisp against a quiet background. Soft touch adds a velvety feel that people notice before they read anything.
