It’s All in the Printing Details

When we see shiny things we are mesmerized. But metallic ink printing is not rocket science. Basically, there are four layers that make up your metallic flyers:

• First: A 16 pt. Gloss Cardstock is the substrate used as your base.


• Second: Silver ink is applied to your stock.


• Third: CMYK ink is printed on top of it. This creates the metallic effect in the colors you have chosen.


• Fourth: Spot UV is a high-gloss UV coating applied to the whole surface of the flyer. This coating makes your flyers shine even more, especially when light hits it. The smooth texture makes it feel like real polished metal.

Tip: Explore unlimited shades of metallic colors, even gradients, with metallic flyer printing.

Q&A

What do you mean by “turnaround time”?

“Turnaround time” is the number of days we need in order to print your order. This doesn’t include holidays, weekends, and shipping time.

What is spot UV?

Spot UV is a clear high-gloss finish that is added to select areas of your flyer design. This finish contrasts well with the metallic print and adds more texture to make your metallic colors pop even more.

Are metallic flyers waterproof too?

Unfortunately, no. Although the thick 16 pt. cardstock is very durable and does not bend easily, it doesn’t offer protection from water or moisture.
