Before you decide you want painted edges (and we’re pretty sure you will, because who wouldn’t want their brand or business to stand above the rest?) it’s worth seeing if this premium finish suits your order. Our talented print veterans have spent an endless amount of time tailoring what papers we can offer painted edges on to give you only the best results. So if you’re looking to print on Silk, Uncoated, or Recycled stocks then you’re in luck because these paper stocks are perfect for edge painting printing.

Sometimes, the process of painted edges can cause the paint to bleed onto the surface of your beautifully printed design, which is why we use a luxury laminate on both sides to prevent this from happening. Our lamination is available in gloss, matt, or a velvety soft touch. It’s also worth mentioning to achieve a painted edge product that’s of high quality, you’ll need to select a paper that's 700gsm or thicker, proving absolutely essential to get the best painted edge effect.

Last but not least, painted edges are only available in square or rectangle shapes, this is to ensure the application of the paint is evenly spread and full coverage is achieved. A match made in heaven for snazzy edge painted business cards, bookmarks, and tags.
