The Benefits of Foiled Business Cards
Business cards are an essential part of creating a memorable first impression. After all, they’re your first introduction to potential business partners, vendors and clients. These little pieces of printed card stock may seem like a small detail, but they can make a big difference in whether someone takes the time to get to know you better. It’s for this reason that many people invest significant time and energy into their business card design. Your card should stand out from the crowd and speak volumes about your brand and personal style as an entrepreneur. If you want your business cards to be even more successful at introducing people to who you are and what you do, consider foiled business cards instead. Here are some benefits of foiled business cards that might help convince you to upgrade from standard stock:
They’re eye-catching.
If you’re going to rely on a single part of your identity to make a good first impression, you want it to be memorable. Foiled business cards are eye-catching because they’re not only shiny, but also because of their unusual appearance. The shiny, reflective surface of a foiled business card catches the eye and demands attention. It also makes an impression because foiled cards aren’t something everyone has or uses.
They have durability.
Business cards are meant to be carried in pockets, stuffed in wallets and otherwise put through the wringer, so their long-term durability should be a top consideration. Foiled cards are built to last. The foiled surface of the card is thick and resilient, so it can stand up to a lot of abuse and still look great. Another reason why foiled cards are so durable is that they’re printed on a thick, high-quality card stock.
They show quality.
If you want to show your customers and clients that you go above and beyond to provide them with the best experience they could possibly have, then you should consider foiling your business cards. A foiled card is a sign that you take pride in your business and have invested in making sure your brand and products look (and last) as good as possible. Foiling is a premium option, and while it can be more expensive than a standard card, it is worth the investment.
They’re easy to recognize and find.
As we’ve already discussed, one of the most important things about a business card is that it gets used. If your cards are eye-catching, durable and show quality, but no one ever finds the time to use them, then they’re not doing their job. Foiled cards are easy to find and recognize because of their unique, shiny surface. They stand out from regular business cards and are therefore much easier to find when someone is rifling through the cards in their wallet or sitting on their desk.
They communicate confidence and professionalism.
Business cards are an important part of building trust, earning respect and making good first impressions. Foiled business cards are often associated with luxury brands, and so they communicate confidence and professionalism. The sleek, shiny surface of a business card made with foiling gives off an air of sophistication and elegance.
The cost of foiled business cards is relatively low.
As we’ve already discussed, foiling is a premium option. However, it doesn’t cost a ton to get your business cards foiled. Depending on the brand you choose and their pricing options, the costs associated with foiling a business card are relatively low compared to the benefits they offer. At The Print Shop, you can expect to pay as little as R250 for a set of 50 foiled business cards.

Conclusion
When you’re designing your business cards, consider investing in foiling. It’s an investment that will last and endure long after you’ve forgotten about the cards themselves. Foiling will make your cards even more eye-catching and memorable, as well as easier to find and use. It will communicate confidence and professionalism, as well as show that you’ve invested in quality and lasting products. For the most part, people don’t expect foiled business cards. Therefore, when someone receives one, it instantly stands out from the crowd and makes a memorable first impression. Foiling is a premium option that is worth every penny.
