Premium CEO Business Cards – Raised Gold Foil & Spot UV Varnish
This premium business card model combines matte black cardstock with two distinctive luxury finishes: raised gold foil and transparent glossy spot UV varnish. The result is an elegant and understated design in which the metallic elements immediately attract attention, while the glossy logo becomes visible depending on how the light falls across the surface of the cardstock.
This model is particularly recommended for CEOs, directors, entrepreneurs, managers and professionals who want their presentation materials to communicate authority, sophistication and attention to detail.
Why choose business cards with gold foil and spot gloss varnish?
Among the advantages of this model are:
• premium matte black cardstock in a double-layer structure
• superior thickness and rigidity
• raised gold foil application
• logo created with transparent glossy spot varnish
• contrast between the matte surface and special finishes
• different visual effects depending on the intensity and angle of the light
• elegant design suited to an executive image
What elements can be customised?
The design can be fully adapted to the company’s visual identity:
• logo
• name and position
• contact details
• graphic elements
• positioning of the gold foil and spot varnish
• artwork on both sides
What makes this business card model special?
The defining feature of this model is the use of two finishes that react differently to light. On the front, the contact details are created with raised gold foil, providing characteristic metallic reflections and a luxurious appearance, while the logo is created using a layer of transparent glossy spot varnish.
In low light, the logo remains almost integrated into the black surface, appearing discreet and sophisticated. When the light hits it from the right angle, the glossy surface reflects it and makes the logo immediately stand out.
What material are these business cards made from?
The business cards are produced from premium matte black cardstock in a double-layer structure. The two layers provide superior rigidity and create a substantial, premium feel in the hand, while also providing a suitable base for the special finishes applied afterwards. The matte black surface is essential to the final appearance, allowing both the gold foil and transparent varnish to stand out without making the design feel excessive.
What role does the matte cardstock surface play?
The matte finish creates a strong contrast with the special finishes applied over it. The gold foil therefore produces stronger metallic reflections, while the transparent spot varnish can remain almost invisible from certain viewing angles.
How is the logo created with spot varnish?
The logo on the front is created using transparent glossy spot varnish with a subtle raised effect. Because the varnish is transparent, it does not alter the colour of the cardstock; instead, it creates a different surface that reflects light. The effect is subtle under certain conditions and striking under others, giving the business card an element of surprise without compromising the minimalist design.
How much do business cards with gold foil and spot varnish cost?

How are they printed?
We have introduced a new finishing option to our portfolio: raised foil printing without dies. This digital embossing process eliminates the cost of traditional embossing and foil dies for clients and significantly reduces production time.
Is the foil purely visual or does it have a raised effect?
The foil is digitally embossed, meaning it also features a subtle raised texture that is perceptible to the touch.
Can the metallic finish deteriorate over time?
Under normal usage conditions, the finish maintains its appearance without issues. However, strong scratching or excessive abrasion may leave visible marks.
What information can be included on the business cards?
You can include any information relevant to your business: name, job title, phone number, email address, physical address, website, personal photo, etc.
Are they durable?
Yes. Being produced on through-coloured cardstock, these business cards offer superior durability over time compared to standard printed business cards.
Which file formats are recommended for artwork?
For the highest print quality, we recommend supplying artwork in vector format (PDF, AI, EPS, or SVG). These formats allow logos, typography and graphic elements to be reproduced accurately at any size without loss of quality.
Raster formats such as JPG, PNG, and TIFF can also be used, provided they are supplied at a sufficiently high resolution for professional printing.
