Designing Flyers with Metallic Foil
If you need foil print flyers but don’t know where to start when it comes to designing them, we have a couple of options for you. If you need help tackling the design yourself, we’ve made it incredibly easy by creating a handy template designed to help you design within our safe zones. Ensure you separate all CMYK and foil elements onto their own artboards, allowing 2mm of bleed, and you’re good to go! Once done, place your order, send us your masterpiece, and we’ll get to work on the printing and foiling!
Want to pass the design work along to a professional designer? Team up with our talented studio team by selecting ‘Supply Brief & We Design’ on your way through to the checkout, send us your brief, and your assigned designer will work their magic.
How to Choose the Right Foil Flyers
With different paper stocks and foil colors available, it can be tricky to know which combination will work best for your flyer. A lot depends on how the flyer will be used, how quickly it needs to grab attention, and which details need to stand out first.
Our team works with metallic foil flyers every day, so the guide below is based on the combinations we know tend to work well in real campaigns. Use it as a starting point for choosing a foil and stock pairing that suits your design, whether you’re promoting an event, offer, launch, product, menu, or campaign.

What Makes Our Foil Flyers Different
Foil flyers need to grab attention quickly, but they still need to be clear, readable, and practical for the way they’ll be used. Whether they’re being handed out, mailed, displayed, folded, or used as part of a campaign, the format and finish both play a big role in the final result.
At The Foil Printing Co., we focus specifically on foil printing, which means we understand how to get the best from metallic detail on promotional print. From flyer size and orientation to foil placement, paper choice, lamination, folds, perforations, rounded corners, and custom shapes, we can help you create flyers that feel more considered than standard handouts.
Flyer Sizes, Orientations & Custom Shapes
Our foil flyers are available in landscape, portrait, button, square, or custom die-cut shapes. Popular portrait and landscape footprints include 3 x 4 in., 4 x 6 in., 4 x 8 in., 4.25 x 5.5 in., 5 x 7 in., 5 x 8 in. and 5.5 x 8.5 in., with the dimensions reversed for landscape layouts. Square flyers are available in 6 x 6 in. and 8.25 x 8.25 in., and custom sizes are also available if you need something more specific.
Custom die-cut shapes can be useful when the format itself is part of the idea, such as a shape that follows your branding, product, event theme, or campaign artwork. It’s a good way to make a flyer feel more distinctive before the design is even read.
Single or Double-Sided Foil Flyers
Foil can be applied to one side or both sides of your flyers. Many designs use foil on the front to highlight key details such as the headline, logo, event name, date, offer, price, or callout, while the reverse is used for supporting information.
Double-sided foil gives you more room to create impact across both sides, especially for high-end campaigns, launch materials, menus, event flyers, or handouts where the flyer will be viewed from more than one angle.
If one side is not foiled, you can choose to leave it unlaminated, match the front with soft-touch lamination, or finish it with matte or gloss lamination.
Black or CMYK Print
Your flyer artwork can be printed in black or full CMYK color before the foil is applied. Black print works well for clean, text-led layouts, while CMYK gives more freedom for color backgrounds, imagery, illustrations, gradients, campaign visuals, and branded artwork.
Foil can then be used to lift the most important parts of the design, such as logos, headlines, dates, prices, offers, icons, borders, or key promotional messages.
Why Soft-Touch Lamination is Used
All foiled sides include soft-touch lamination. This creates a smooth, consistent surface for the foil to adhere to, helping us achieve clean, reliable results.
It also gives the finished flyer a smooth feel in hand, which is useful for promotional print that people will pick up, handle, pass around, or keep. If only one side of your flyer is foiled, the reverse can be finished separately depending on the look and feel you want.
Folded Flyers, Creases & Perforations
If your flyer needs to hold more information, we can add one to three vertical or horizontal creases to create folded formats. Popular options include simple folded flyers, 4 x 8 in. folded flyers, and gate fold layouts.
We can also add one to three vertical or horizontal perforations, or custom perforation placement if your design includes tear-off areas. This can be useful for vouchers, reply slips, tickets, discount codes, forms, or detachable campaign details.
Rounded Corners & Custom Finishing
Rounded corners can be added to soften the look of your flyers and give them a more polished feel. We offer 6mm or 16mm rounded corners, depending on whether you want the effect to be subtle or more noticeable.
For more distinctive campaigns, custom die-cutting can be used to create a custom flyer shape. This works especially well for simpler layouts, where the format itself helps the flyer stand out without making the design too busy.
Flyer Artwork Supplied by You or Designed by Us
You can supply your own print-ready flyer artwork, or our team can design your foil flyers for you from a brief.
If you already have artwork, we’ll check the setup before proofing to make sure the print artwork, foil layer, bleed, safe zones, and any crease, perforation, or cut guides are clear. If you need design support, we can work from your brand, campaign, event, offer, or product details to create artwork that is ready for foil flyer printing.
