Multi-Colour Foiled Business Cards
These shimmering flat metallic Foil Business Cards deliver a memorable experience combined with a luxurious finish
Multi Colour Foiled Business Cards Printing
Multi colour foiled business cards are business cards where more than one foil colour is used to highlight parts of the design. Instead of everything being printed with ink, certain details are stamped with foil, things like logos, names, or small graphic elements. You notice it when the card moves in the light. Most people go for multi colour foil when one foil just isn't enough. Consider using gold for the logo, silver for the text, or a combination of copper with another tone. It's a way of adding depth rather than just shine. It's usually chosen by brands that care about the small details.
At I You Print, we print multi-colour foiled business cards for businesses. Some customers are designers who already know exactly what they want. Others are small business owners who just know their current cards aren't doing them any favours.
Why Foiled Business Cards Make Such a Difference
Foil reflects light differently depending on how you move the card. That little change catches the eye. People pause for a second longer. They actually look at it. And that's the whole point of a business card.
Multi colour foiling takes that one step further. Instead of sticking to a single foil colour, you can mix and match. Gold with silver. Copper with red. Subtle accents that only show when the light hits them.
It's easy to see why foiled business card printing has become so popular, especially for:
- Creatives and freelancers
- Luxury and boutique brands
- Startups launching something new
- Networking events where first impressions matter
If you've been searching for multi colour foil business cards near me or foil business cards, this is one of those products where local knowledge really matters.
Standard Size That Feels Right
We keep sizing simple but flexible enough to suit different styles:
55 mm x 55 mm
Square cards are a little different, and that's exactly why people choose them. The 55 mm x 55 mm format feels modern and design-led, especially when paired with multi colour foil. Logos and foil accents tend to stand out more, rather than getting lost in the layout.
85 mm x 55 mm
It's the standard business card size, and there's no need to reinvent it. It fits wallets properly. It doesn't feel awkward. And it gives enough space for foil details without the design feeling cramped.
Whether you're ordering a small batch or bulk cards for an event, this size just works.
Card Materials (This Matters More Than People Think)
Foil might be the first thing people notice, but the card stock underneath is what they feel. And people do notice that, even if they don't say it out loud.
350 gsm Recycled Art Board – Silk Finish
This is a popular choice for businesses that want something premium but still environmentally responsible. The silk finish gives a smooth surface, which helps the foil sit cleanly.
You'll find this product works well for:
- Eco-focused brands
- Modern startups
- Clean, minimal designs
On the practical side, it still feels sturdy enough for everyday use.
350 gsm Uncoated
This one feels completely unique in the hand. Slight texture. More natural. When foil is applied, the contrast between the matte paper and shiny foil really stands out.
To be honest, designers love this stock.
It's often chosen by:
- Creatives and illustrators
- Boutique businesses
- Brands that want something tactile
It also happens to be easy to write on, which some people really appreciate.
400 gsm Art Board – Silk Finish
This is the heavyweight option. Thick. Solid. You notice it immediately.
It's usually chosen for:
- Luxury foiled business cards
- Corporate branding
- High-end services
Here's why that matters: heavier cards tend to stay in wallets longer. People don't throw them away as quickly.
Single-Sided or Double-Sided Foiling
This usually comes down to how much foil you want on the card. There's no right answer. It's just preference.
Single-Sided Foiled Business Cards
Foil on one side keeps things straightforward. Most people use it for the logo or a small detail and leave the rest clean. It looks smart without being too much.
Good choice if:
- Your branding is simple
- You don't want the card to sound busy.
- You like things neat and understated
Double-Sided Foiled Business Cards
Foil on both sides gives you more to work with. One side for branding, the other for details or design. It feels bolder when you pick it up.
Double-sided foiled business cards in are often used for:
- Networking
- Events and launches
- Brands that want to stand out a bit more
Once people handle both options, most lean towards double-sided.
Soft Touch Lamination (One You Have to Feel)
Soft touch lamination is difficult to explain properly until you actually touch it.
It's smooth. Velvety. Almost rubbery, but in a good way.
Matt Soft Touch – Double Sided
This gives the entire card a soft, premium feel and protects the print at the same time. It also makes the foil stand out even more.
Ideal for:
- Luxury brands
- Designers and agencies
- Cards meant to impress
Matt Soft Touch – Single Sided
The front of the card is soft, while the back is practical. A nice balance if you want something premium without losing usability.
Soft-touch foil business cards in London are easily one of our most requested combinations.
Foil Colours Available
This is where personality comes in.
We offer:
- Gold foil – classic and timeless
- Silver foil – clean and modern
- Copper foil – warm and slightly different
- Red foil – bold and creative
Multi colour foiling lets you mix these on one card. Gold and silver together are very popular. Copper with red has been getting a lot of attention lately too.
Foil business cards use metallic finishes to create a reflective effect that changes in the light. That's what makes people look twice.
Square or Rounded Corners
It's a small detail, but it changes the feel.
- Square corners feel sharp and traditional
- Rounded corners feel softer and last longer
Rounded corners are especially popular with foiled networking cards, as they don't scuff as easily in wallets.
Quantities That Make Sense
Not everyone needs thousands of cards. And that's fine.
We offer:
- 50–100 cards for personal use
- 250–500 for regular networking
- 1,000–5,000 for events and teams
If you're ordering bulk foil business card printing, we'll help you choose the most sensible option without pushing you into something you don't need.
Turnaround Time
Foiling isn't something you rush.

That gives us time to get clean foil edges, a consistent colour, and a finish you'll actually be happy with.
