How are painted edge cards made?
Colored edge business cards, also called edge painting, are an optional feature where ink is applied to the edge of your cards. Available in 4 types: custom (CMYK/Pantone), fluorescent, metallic, and foil; adding an edge color will make your prints look more stylish and definitely make them stand out. They are perfect for business cards or beautiful wedding invitations! Your customers will stop and take notice when you hand them a painted edge business card from Printing New York!
The Colored Edge process involves applying ink to the side edges of the card. After selecting the desired thickness of the cardstock, the cardstock surfaces are laminated together to create extremely strong cards, and all the edges are inked. The thicker the paper used, the more effectively the edges are colored. Use these colored borders to contrast with your logo or graphics, or to complement the solid color of your card background.
This colored border will make your customers take a second or even a third look at your card. The thick paper, bright complementary colors, silky look and feel of the card will all help make your brand unforgettable.
Why you should be painting edges on your cards
Painted edge business cards printing gives your business cards a bold yet fresh look, even when viewed from the side. These business cards have an attractive band of solid color around the edges, giving your business cards and your brand a real cutting edge appeal.
Painted edge cards are more than twice as thick as regular business cards. The 32 pt. thickness is slightly thicker than a credit card and is the heaviest card available. Because of this thickness, the colors are visible on the side, making them easily visible on a stand or stack of business cards.
There are 17 different edge colors available for these premium custom business cards. This includes a wide range of solid and shimmering metallic colors, including red, gold, metallic and more. All painted maple business cards are printed on double-thick uncoated cardstock for a luxurious muted look and a nice weight and feel to your cards.
Thick business cards with colorful edges are popular with creative professionals such as photographers, graphic designers, and anyone who wants a truly exceptional business card. Printing business cards with colored edges is also popular among luxury and boutique brands.
If the front and back of a business card are not enough, there are four more sides to work with: edges. Coloring the edges can be combined with an existing color in the design or can be done in a contrasting tone to add an unexpected splash of color. Such finishing processes can add sophistication to a card design.
Non-metallic Pantone colors use a matte edge finish and metallic colors use a shimmering edge finish. If you want a very shiny metallic look, foil edges will work for you (more on that below). This process is not perfect for everything, but when it is appropriate, it can be an exciting and distinctive detail. Soft, muted colors tend to be difficult to spot, while bright, vibrant colors show up much better. We do not outline the edges of cut-out cards, as the edges tend to “soak up” the ink rather than leave it in the margin. On very soft paper, the ink can rub off, requiring careful handling of the cards and sometimes filing.
When a shiny metallic finish is required, the best method is edge foil. This process may require a longer turnaround time so please contact/contact-us/ our team for more details. There are a number of foil colors available, but gold and silver are the most popular. Nothing is more satisfying than opening a box of greeting cards and seeing a metallic foil edge staring back at you.
