Color Core Printing: What is it?

Color Core Card Has A Colored Central Layer

Color Core is our range of heavyweight, double-sided printing card with a thick colored layer at its centre. Perfect for metallic foil flyers, invites and business cards, it uses vivid colored papers sandwiched between outer sheets of smooth blank paper. Color Core gives you a choice of over thirty vibrant tones to match your brand, and forms an extra-thick central spine for your prints.

With a combined weight of 800gsm our Color Core is an extremely thick premium card stock, giving your prints a heavier, high-end effect that other card types really just don’t come close to. Finished off with bright metallic foil and matt lamination, we’ll make sure that your prints look and feel fantastic – and match you (or your brand) perfectly.

Color Core Printing Card: How It’s Made

Our Color Core card is assembled by hand, by bonding together four sheets of paper to create the finished thickness. Really we can use it to make any type of foiled item you need, provided that your prints don’t need to be creased or folded. Its most popular uses are for metallic foil business cards, but we’ve also created luxury foiled flyers and thank-you cards with colored cores too.

We create our Color Core card to order, with absolute focus on finished quality. While your artwork's being set up, our production team will create your Color Core printing card manually using the best papers in the industry – including G.F. Smith Colorplan paper. The front and back are made using smooth white 160gsm paper, while the middle uses a double-thick layer of 480gsm colored card. The resulting weight and thickness creates a rigid, luxury printing material that will physically help your metallic foil invite or business card to stand out from the rest.

After printing and metallic foiling, every Color Core product you order will be trimmed and checked for finished quality. The result is a versatile, high-impact print product that stands at over double the depth and weight of other business cards. A physically weightier print gets noticed, makes a more memorable impression, and differentiates you from the pack – and that’s exactly what can put more attention on you or your brand. Combined with metallic foil printing to one or both sides of your design, the end result is practically engineered to get you noticed.
