The process used to create Painted Edge business cards involves applying inks to the side edges of the card stock. After choosing your desired card thickness, the cardstock surfaces are laminated together to create an extremely sturdy card—with all edges inked completely. Note: Ink colors may bleed SLIGHTLY to the surface of the cards.

[+] How do you paint the edge of the card?
After printing the text and graphics, the materials are cut down to their finished size. The cards are stacked onto a padding press and compressed, giving a tight space between each card. They are then painted using a brayer roller. The finished effect gives a glamorous style to the edge of your cards, helping them stand out from the crowd. Our cards can even paint the edges with foils and metallic colors. These colorful additions make your cards incredible, with a luxurious look and finish. Opt for the heaviest, thickest card stocks for the best edge painting finish.
