About this job
Feng shui and geomancy consultants in Singapore often work through personal referral, so the name card is a small but lasting reminder. A card with both Chinese and English names helps clients from different language backgrounds recognise the business.
The card is matte black with gold foil used for both the Chinese characters and the English text. The Chinese name is set in a decorative seal-style script across the top, with the English name and website beneath. A second photo, with the cards fanned out, shows the gold-painted edges, which add a gilded line around each card. A black and gold scheme is a traditional pairing that matches the subject.
Cards like this are produced by foil stamping on black stock with a die made from the artwork. Chinese characters with fine strokes are checked for line thickness, because thin strokes can fill in. Characters and spellings are checked against the supplied text. Where edges are painted, cards are cut, stacked and coloured on the edge, left to dry and then packed so the painted sides are not scuffed.

Black name cards with gold foil for Bao Shan Feng Shui. The photo shows a matte black card with the Chinese business name in gold seal-style characters, the English name below and a website line, with rounded corners. A second photo shows the gold-painted edges.
Can Chinese characters be foil stamped?
Yes. Foil works for Chinese characters, but fine strokes in decorative scripts can fill in. Choose a weight with enough stroke thickness and check the proof closely.
What is the benefit of a black card with gold foil?
Black with gold gives strong contrast and a formal look. The foil catches light, so the name and logo stand out when the card is handed over.
Should I print both Chinese and English on a name card?
Many businesses do, so that clients can read the name in either language. Place each clearly and check characters and spelling carefully before approval. Keep both sizes readable.
Can EZ Print print something similar on a deadline?
Same-day and urgent printing available. Subject to artwork approval, payment, print type and production availability. Timing confirmed per job.
