Paper
To get the most from your foil stamped postcards, you need to choose the paper that will best accentuate your design. That’s why we’ve curated a selection of our most popular card and paper stocks for foil postcard printing.
14pt Cover SemiGloss is a perennial favorite for metallic foil postcards. It’s a sturdy cardstock, and suitable for a multitude of purposes, although we believe it’s particularly well suited to foil postcard printing because of how well vibrant colors are highlighted by its beautiful sheen.
If semigloss isn’t quite what you want, we also offer 14pt Cover Matte. It has all the benefits of its semigloss counterpart, but also has a beautiful visible texture perfectly suited for handwritten additions to your foil stamp postcards.
16pt Cover Fine Finch is 40% more dense than most single layer cards, which makes it an excellent choice for foil postcard printing. It has a reputation for uniformity, consistency, and quality which makes it very popular for business applications Because it’s acid-free, it’s archival quality, and also environmentally friendly.
17.5pt Cover Eggshell Ultra White has a luxurious texture, and is a great choice for anyone who wants a thicker stock with a unique texture. If you love this luxury option, but want something thicker, we’ve also added 36pt Super Cover Eggshell Ultra White, which doubles the thickness without sacrificing any of the quality.
28pt Super Cover Semi Gloss is an almost unbendably thick card stock with a lovely sheen that results in vibrant, sharp colors. It is also available as 28pt Super Cover Matte, which trades the sheen of semi gloss for a noticeable texture.
If the thickness of 28pt Super Cover Semi Gloss, or Super Cover Matte aren’t quite thick enough, we’ve also made them available in a thicker form. 32pt Super Cover Semi Gloss, and 32pt Super Cover Matte are both incredibly thick, with all the benefits of their thinner counterparts.
Color
Our top of the range full color digital printers blend four base colors (CMYK - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) to create any color you can imagine. This can be applied to either only the front of your foil postcard printing stamped postcards, or to both the front and back, depending on what your design calls for.
To find out more about your color choices, the Gold Image Printing blog has an amazing piece on CMYK vs Pantone.

For a more modern application of foil postcard printing, digital foil is a great choice. Though it comes in a more limited palette, digital foil is a beautiful option which looks amazing in many different applications.
Duplexing allows you to double the thickness of your chosen cardstock, meaning your foil postcard printing can be nigh indestructible under normal stresses. And if you do decide to opt for a duplexed postcard, you can highlight this thickness with edge painting.
