About this job
A name card is often the first printed item a supplier hands to a new contact. For manufacturers and trading companies in Singapore, a clean card with a clear logo and a short descriptor helps buyers remember what the company does.
The card is navy blue with a matte surface, and the logo and tagline are in gold foil. Gold on navy is a classic pairing that looks formal without being heavy. The logo is large and centred in the upper half, with the descriptor in a small serif style below. The layout is simple, which suits foil because heavy shapes and short lines stamp more reliably than very fine detail. The edges are trimmed square.
Foil name cards are produced by printing any ink colours first, then stamping foil using a metal die made from the logo artwork. The artwork is checked for minimum line thickness and the gap between letters so the foil does not fill in. A test card is checked against the proof for foil position and clarity, then cards are trimmed to size, counted and packed in boxes or cases.

What stock suits foil name cards?
A smooth, firm card stock holds foil well and keeps its shape in a wallet. Dark or matte colours show gold clearly, and the stock weight should be chosen for feel as well as appearance.
Can small text be foiled?
Small text can be foiled if the type is bold enough. Very thin or tiny lettering may fill in or break, so a larger size or a simple typeface is a safer choice for foil.
How do I choose a name card colour?
Pick a colour that supports the brand and contrasts with the print colour. Dark colours with gold or white foil give strong contrast, while light colours may suit simple colour printing.
Can EZ Print print something similar on a deadline?
