This business card is simple yet stunning. We wanted to show the power of just using one color… Black. The card stock is 12mm PVC, which is much thinner than a normal plastic credit card along with black ink and black foil stamping. The inner parts of the card were stamped in foil.

CMYKF. What could the F stand for? C is for Cyan, M is for Magenta, Y is for Yellow, K is for BlacK and F is for FOIL!!! How do we print the foil on the CYMK you might ask. We don't. We first print the Foil and then the CMYK over the top. The end result is a FULL COLOR FOIL!

My roommate is a tattoo artist, as I've mentioned before. He finally got around to ordering some bad ass business cards with his custom drawn artwork on them. He went for the full color foil process option and hot damn are these cards bad ass! Just check it out! Once my roommate showed him to the other guys at the shop they order some for themselves.

Here's a fun little item Chris brought back from Europe. It's a fairly standard business card. Linen stock with silver foil stamping, BUT it's a slightly different size than an American business card. Where as a business card in the United States and Canada would be 3.5″x2″ a business card in say, The UK would be 3.346 × 2.165. It's not a HUGE difference but it's enough to notice.

This is a really slick looking business card too. The silver and brown colours compliment each other quite nicely. It smells like chocolate too! Sadly though, that just has to do with the card being packed in Chris's bag with some chocolate bars or something. How great would that be though?! Scented business cards! NICE!

More tattoo artist business cards today. This time, instead of foil we have a nice silk finish. No foil stamping just regular flat full color printing. Sadly the silk finish isn't something that really picks up in photos all that great. You have to feel it to know. It feels like SILK! It means you should head over to the silk finished business card page of Luice Design Full Colour Printing and order your set today! These cards are great for clients that want something different with a matte or dull finish.

Silk Finished Business Card with Silver Foil Stamping - Classy

Recently we were contacted by a company who wanted to have their business cards reprinted. No problem there. However, when we received the sample of what they wanted, along with what they were looking to spend we knew that the two wouldn't match up. It's an unfortunate situation but it does come up.

I was able to give them a price for the cards based on exactly what they wanted and, as predicted it was too high. No fear though! Here at Luice Design Full Colour Printing our goal is to get the customer something that will make them happy. I showed them our Spot Metallic Silver cards with a matte finish and they absolutely loved them the concept.

The spot silver metallic ink in place of the foil stamping worked out perfectly and was a much much cheaper option compared to the stamping.
Bottom line here is that occasionally you may need to change the options on what you want to find a price that agrees with you, but this doesn't at all mean you have to sacrifice the design or quality of your business card.

Ladies and gentlemen today I would like to talk to you about something that is important not only to me, but to you too. Design.

Luice Design Full Colour Printing wants to help all you graphic designers get the best printing for your designs, whether we are the ones who designed or not. You'd be amazed at how many very very talented designers out there who have sent us some great stuff to have printed in various formats. What I want to talk about today is the foil stamp. When designing something you'd like to have foil stamped you have to remember that very fine detail isn't the best idea. You have to remember that a foil stamp is literally a stamp that is pressed into the card using a metal die. Any very fine detail in your design will be lost during this process and probably not look all that good. Unfortunate but true.

If you have a design you want to be foil stamped and it's a very involved design, I'd suggest that you try the full colour printing foil process instead. It's still foil, just done in a different way. The foil is printed onto the card in the shape of your design and then the inks are printed on top of everything so anything that doesn't have foil below it will just be normal printed ink and the foil will stand out quite nicely. Finish it off with a glossy UV coating and you're all set!

Another suggestion would be to check out the full color metallic ink printing. It's not as shiny and sparkly as the foil process but it's very very cool looking. It's a little more tasteful and reserved than the full color foil process if you ask me. You can have it done in full color or as just a spot color depending on your design needs. The metallic ink is only offered with a matte finish and on nice thick 14PT or 16PT stock.

I was recently talking to a couple of friends about promoting by putting flyers on cars etc. and I mentioned that when I see a flyer on my car I don't even register what it is, just that it's a foreign object on my window that must be removed immediately and deposited onto the ground without even looking at it. Why? Because they were crappy uninteresting flyers. Some generic party club flyer. You've seen hundreds of them and so have I.

Maybe if there was something shiny on the flyers….just maybe…they wouldn't get thrown to the ground as quickly. full color foil process can be just as easily applied to a post card as it can to a business card. They would at least get looked at and possibly saved just because they look cool. At least try to make it flashy, or original. Don't just put the same generic stock photos of people at a club or holding drinks on your flyer. Make your event stand out from the other 300 events in the same town offering the same things.

Better yet, let Luice Design Full Color Printing design your event flyer for you! It's what we're here for!
