I want somone that can do metallic business cards

willothewisp_2

I'm starting up a small business with a friend and we want to try to find someone that can print our business cards. However we've got an idea of what we want and it's not a conventional business card. We want a plain cream card on one side which is embossed with metallic lilac and aqua writing. The reverse of the card we want to be all over metallic lilac with our logo printed in metallic aqua. I'm having real trouble finding a company that can do it. Does anyone know anyone that would be able to help us?

Many thanks

There is this http://www.printingdirect.com/products/business_cards/metal_business_cards.php but its metal cards. I design business i.d, I know back in the day we used to use a machine called OMNICROM for mettalic text etc, but that may be prehistoric with technology today. If the cards were screen printed then I dont see why a mettalic paint cant be used, maybe try and find a screen printer that can help.
Good luck with the business.

Hi,

I'm sure one of the suppliers I used to use a few years ago does this. I don't know if I'm allowed to post their link here so if you want to PM me I'll give you the details.

Hi willothewisp
have just sent you a pm about this

p.s. It's called 'hot foil' printing.

I use this company and they're great -

My requirements were very specific and they bent over backwards to help. By the look of it the website is being changed so you'll only be able to get the phone number and address. But give them a ring you will find them friendly and helpful.

I am in this sector of business, but naturally forum rules prevent me from posting my link. If you want to contact me, I would be more than happy to help.

Our football club used these people to produce some fantastic cards for our christmas party entry ticket (on the back he put a 2006 calendar - dual purpose!!)
