Glossy Card Stock this grade of paper is made of a heavy paper weight. The paper has a glossy sheen which works well when using metallic foil stamping. The colorful foils adhere well and provide a high quality look.

Printing versus Foil Stamping Both look good. Printing is more expensive on small orders of 1000 or less. Hot Foil stamping provides a professional metallic foil look on the card stock of your choice. If you require multicolor on your folder it generally needs to be printed. 4 color printing has become quite inexpensive in volumes of 1000 or more.
