Customers, Take It Away
Our painted-edge products have received rave reviews from customers who appreciated the uniqueness they add to their brand, in this case, it was business cards. We asked our customer Tina why she opted for Firey Orange painted edges for Astutes business cards and the answer wasn’t anything short of music to our (and your) ears.
‘‘I wanted to use our company’s accent color subtly and I think having a painted edge on our business cards achieves this and gives a high quality and unusual finish. First impressions are key, that's why Astute invests in high-quality business cards.’’
- Tina (Graphic Designer)
After we heard that Tina couldn't get enough of the business cards she designed for Astute that include a premium painted edge, we asked her about her experience with Firey Orange painted edges, and how business has been since the company started using them.
‘’We’ve had lots of compliments when handing these to clients, combined with a heavier card and soft touch finish they really stand out’’
- Tina (Graphic Designer)
Tina isn’t the only one praising painted edges, we asked another one of our customers Peter, from Marlborough Investments what he thought about the painted edges since receiving his order.
‘’We really love the painted edge and really does zing against what is actually a really dark inky blue rather than black.’’
- Peter

Painted Edges: What You Should Know
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.
