FAQs
What are foil business cards?
Silver and gold foiled business cards use the Scodix technology to apply a reflective gold or silver foil layer to chosen areas of the card, creating a vibrant, raised effect that catches the light and draws attention. This process enhances the design with a sophisticated finish, adding a touch of elegance and making the card stand out with both visual and tactile appeal.
What is Scodix?
Scodix is a digital enhancement technology that creates a raised finish on printed materials. The Scodix foiling technique applies a reflective foil layer to specific areas of a design, providing a vibrant and sophisticated look that catches the light and draws attention, thereby enhancing the overall appearance of the printed piece.
What foil types can I choose from??
Gold: Offers a rich, opulent sheen that adds sophistication and warmth
Silver: Delivers a sleek, modern sparkle with a crisp, cool finish
How do I set up my foil file?
To set up your foil file, start by creating a new spot colour swatch in your design software and name it "Gold" or "Silver" depending on your preferred finish. Duplicate all pages of your design, then apply the chosen spot colour to the elements where you want the foiling to appear. Ensure that any non-foiled elements are removed from these pages. Include a 2mm margin around the edges of your design to prevent cracking during trimming.
How do I supply my foil file?
To supply your foil file, include both the print and foil elements in a single PDF file. For single-sided designs, create a 2-page PDF: the first page should contain the print design, and the second page should include the foil elements. For double-sided designs, use a 4-page PDF: pages 1 and 2 for the print design, and pages 3 or 4 for the foil elements, including a blank page where foiling is not present.
Are foil business cards recyclable?
Due to the soft touch lamination, Scodix foil business cards are not recyclable. For accurate disposal information, it's advisable to consult your local guidelines on foil business cards.
What is the turnaround time?
The turnaround time for foil business card printing depends on your chosen product specification and finishing options. For faster delivery, we offer express production upgrades at an additional cost. To ensure your order is delivered on time, it is important we receive your artwork by the cut-off time indicated on both the product page and basket.
Please note: If your file is submitted after the cut-off time or if corrected artwork isn't provided before the next cut-off time following rejection, it will delay delivery by one working day.
How much is delivery?

Design guidelines
Templates
To make artwork setup simple, we recommend downloading the relevant product template from our templates section. Don’t forget to delete the template layer before exporting your design to PDF.
Colour
For best printing results, ensure your artwork and images are CMYK. If you use RGB, Pantone or spot colours in any element of your artwork, we will automatically convert them to CMYK which may change your colour profile.
Fonts
To eliminate any font issues, make sure all fonts are ‘embedded’ or ‘converted to outlines’ before creating your PDF print file. To ensure legibility, we recommend using a minimum font size of 10pt.
Image resolution
For optimal image print quality, ensure all images are 300dpi to 450dpi. Anything lower than 300dpi will give poor image quality. Images higher than 450dpi will result in high file sizes and may cause longer upload times.
Crop marks and bleed
To avoid alignment issues during cutting, be sure to include ‘crop marks’ (offset 10mm) and ‘document bleed’ when exporting your artwork file to PDF. Refer to our product templates for the required bleed specifications.
File format
To meet our print requirements, ensure your file is exported in Adobe PDF (Print) format, ideally as PDF/X-1a: 2001.
