Edge Coloring: Elevate Your Business Cards with Bold, Unique Details

At Dolce Press, we believe the smallest details make the biggest impressions. Edge coloring is one such feature that transforms a standard business card into something unforgettable. By adding vibrant color to the edges of thick cardstock, your cards stand out from every angle.

What Is Edge Coloring?

Edge coloring is the process of applying custom colors to the sides of thick business cards. Rather than just focusing on the front and back design, edge coloring enhances the visual impact by adding a bold or subtle accent to the edges. It’s a great way to add an extra layer of personality to your brand, especially for thicker card stock.

Why Choose Edge Coloring?

  • Stand Out: While many business cards focus on the design, edge-colored cards make sure your brand shines from all sides.
  • Tailored to You: Choose from a variety of colors to match your branding, from metallics to fluorescents.
  • Premium Quality: Edge coloring works best on thicker card stocks (32pt and up), giving your card a more substantial feel and professional touch.

Types of Edge Colors

At Dolce Press, you can select from several types of edge colors:

  • Standard Colors: Perfect for a classic, bold look. Specify a PMS color for the edge or match a color printed on your card and we’ll mix the color to match.
  • Metallic Colors: Add luxury with metallic shades like gold, silver, or copper.
  • Fluorescent Colors: For a more vibrant, modern touch, fluorescents offer a bright and playful vibe.
  • Glitter Colors: Bored of standard colors, we can add a glitter finish to the business cards.
  • Gradient Edge Coloring: Blend 2 or more colors on the edge of a business card for super custom finish. We’ve done gradients with as many as 5 color blends. 🤯
