Edge business card questions
Find quick answers about edge finishes, compatible stocks, artwork setup, samples, and specialty options.
What are painted edge business cards?
Painted edge business cards use color on the side edge of a thick card stock, creating a visible brand detail when the card is viewed from the side or stacked with other cards.
What are foil edge business cards?
Foil edge business cards use a metallic-looking edge treatment on thicker premium card stocks for a more reflective luxury effect.
Do edge finishes work on every business card stock?
No. Edge finishes work best on thicker premium stocks that have enough side profile to show the painted or foil edge clearly.
Can I combine painted edges with foil or spot UV?
Many premium cards can combine edge color with foil, spot UV, raised spot UV, velvet, silk, debossing, or other specialty finishes. The design should stay clean and production-friendly.
What artwork setup is best for edge cards?
Use final-size CMYK artwork with proper bleed, safe margins, and clean vector logos or masks for any specialty layers such as foil, spot UV, or debossing.
Should I request samples before ordering edge cards?
Yes. Samples are recommended when comparing stock thickness, painted edges, foil edges, velvet, silk, cotton, and other premium business card finishes.
