The finish of a business card is just as important as the stock and weight you choose. Finishes can set a tone to a card. Each finish has its own benefits and can even provide more options to be layered upon the finish itself. Silk finished business cards, for example, can then have hot foil stamping and spot uv added. Layering up a card with options like these are a sure thing to stand out in the hoards of business cards. Luice Design offers all these finishes and options.

The hottest business cards not only rely on design, but the specialty printing as well. Hot foil stamping is a premium appearance seen all over high ranking company's business cards.

Luice Design currently carries a wide variety of both colors and styles. Some of their foil work is actually featured all over the internet. Choose hot foil stamping if you recognize this elegant printing option.
