Aquafoil Business Cards create a vibrant metallic foil effect by combining reflective foil with full color printing. This process allows your design to include colorful foil effects, gradients, halftones, and larger metallic areas that are difficult to achieve with standard foil stamping. The result is a bold, eye-catching card with shine, color, and movement that changes as the light hits the surface.
Aquafoil is a great choice for designs that use colorful logos, bright patterns, metallic backgrounds, gradients, or artwork that needs more than a single foil color. Choose from gloss or matte finish options, with optional spot gloss available for added contrast and detail.

Aquafoil business cards create a colorful metallic foil effect by combining reflective foil with full color printing. Unlike traditional foil stamping that is usually limited to a single foil color, Aquafoil can create vibrant multi-color metallic effects, gradients, halftones, and large reflective design areas.
SoCal Business Cards provides custom business card printing for companies across Southern California including Costa Mesa, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Anaheim, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Aquafoil business cards are a strong choice for businesses that want bold color, shine, and a premium metallic finish.
These custom foil business cards are printed on 16pt cardstock with full color printing on one or two sides. Customers can choose Aquafoil with UV gloss on one or two sides, or Aquafoil with AQ matte on two sides. Foil can be applied to one or two sides, with optional spot gloss available for additional shine and contrast.
Aquafoil business cards are ideal for designs that use strong color, metallic backgrounds, colorful logos, reflective patterns, gradients, or artwork that benefits from shine and movement. This finish works well for creative brands, beauty businesses, nightlife, events, fashion, photography, luxury services, and companies that want a more memorable business card.
Pair your Aquafoil business cards with raised gloss and foil business cards, standard gloss business cards, standard matte business cards, and custom stationery for a complete branded presentation.
