Raised Foil Postcards Specs
Size & Shape
Choosing a size for your raised foil postcards can be deceptively tricky. We’ve settled on the two most popular sizes as our standard options, and both make great raised digital foil postcards.
The smaller size is 4” x 6”, and the larger is 5” x 7”. If you'd like more information about our raised foil postcards, we created a help page that explains all about our standard postcard sizes.
Paper
When buying raised foil postcards, the paper or cardstock is a vital component. That’s why we decided that 18pt Cover Soft Touch would be a perfect choice. It’s thick, and sturdy enough to handily survive a trip through the postal system, and its soft touch lamination creates a texture reminiscent of suede. This luxury texture combined with the muted nature of colors printed on this wonderful cardstock really serves to make your choice of our gorgeous foil options shine.
Buying raised foil postcards online has never been so easy, or had such wonderful results.
Color
Our state-of-the-art printers are able to blend four base colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black - CMYK) to perfectly recreate any color on the visible spectrum. This means that no matter what color scheme you’ve chosen for your raised foil postcards, we’ll be able to print them exactly as you imagined.

Specialties
One of the highlights of being a print company with such a long history is having the opportunity to develop industry-leading specialty printing services, which allow us to meet, and even anticipate, the needs of our customers. When you choose to do your raised foil postcard printing with Gold Image Printing, you’re entering a world of possibilities that you might not find elsewhere.
For years, white ink printing was only possible through the very expensive process of custom screen printing. This involved setting up custom silk screens, and this meant that white ink printing wasn’t easily available. However with our ultra modern printing methods, your raised foil postcards can also benefit from the addition of beautiful pristine white ink.
Any raised foil postcard can benefit from some classic printing techniques. One of the earliest printing methods still in use is letterpressing. Letterpressing is a classic technique in which letter blocks are arranged in a special rack, dipped into ink, and physically pressed into each of your raised foil postcards individually. Letterpressing gives beautiful results, both in terms of aesthetically and tactilely. It looks incredible and leaves behind an understated but very real physical impression that is pleasing to the touch. Embossing and debossing are very much two sides of the same coin. Whereas embossing raises areas of your design to add a beautiful texture and a gorgeous, ink-free visual aspect to your raised foil business cards, debossing presses the design into the cardstock. Both are excellent choices for raised foil business cards, especially for those who would like to add an air of grandiosity to their designs.
Foil stamping is an amazing specialty printing service that gives raised foil postcards their unique selling point. Unlike many other printing companies, When you come to us for your raised foil postcards, you can choose from so much more than just traditional metallic colors. Our foil color chart is incredibly expansive and is sure to have the right hue for your design. You can also opt to use digital foil in your design. The color palette is slightly less wide but the results are absolutely beautiful, and a great complement to raised foil postcards.
If the sturdiness of your raised foil postcards is something of a concern, you might want to consider duplexing. Duplexing is a process which doubles the thickness of your chosen card stock.
If you’re not quite sure if the design of your raised foil postcards is perfect, you might benefit from the design services offered by Gold Image Printing.

You’ll get access to a personalized homepage on the Gold Image Printing website, where you can bypass the majority of the ordering process to repeat orders, save designs, and so much more.
