Gilt Edging

The finishing touch that makes a great piece of print stand out.

Gilt edging, also known as edge gilding, is the process of applying foil to the edges of cards and printed pieces. It gives a clean, luxurious finish that catches the light from every angle.

We work with gold, silver, rose gold, holographic and coloured foils, as well as painted edges in a wide range of colours.

It works particularly well on thicker card, where the edge becomes a real feature of the finished piece.

LUXURY GILT EDGING

Gilt edging can take a beautiful piece of print to another level.

Think luxury business cards, wedding invitations, thank you cards, certificates, menus and premium stationery.

Gold and silver remain firm favourites, but holographic and coloured edges can give a much more contemporary look.

And there is no need to stop at the edge. Gilt edging can be combined with hot foil, embossing, debossing and die cutting for a truly distinctive finish.

GILT EDGED BUSINESS CARDS

A gilt edge gives a business card an instant luxury feel.

Choose metallic gold, silver or rose gold, or go for something more eye-catching with holographic or coloured edging.

Add hot foil, embossing or other finishes to create a business card that feels as good as it looks.

GILT EDGED INVITATIONS

Wedding invitations, thank you cards and luxury event stationery are perfect for gilt edging.

A metallic edge adds a subtle touch of luxury, while holographic or coloured edges can make a design much more contemporary.

We can also create bevelled edges and rounded corners on suitable invitations.

COLOURED & PAINTED EDGES

Gilt edging doesn’t have to mean gold.

We can apply painted and coloured edges to match your artwork or brand colours. Choose a subtle shade, a bold colour or something completely different to create contrast between the face of the card and its edge.

Painted edges are a great alternative when metallic foil isn’t the look you’re after.

HOW WE CREATE A GILT EDGE

There is more to gilt edging than simply putting foil around a card.

The cards are tightly clamped together and the edges are carefully prepared and smoothed to create a clean, even surface.

The foil or paint is then applied to the exposed edges.

It is a process that requires skill, patience and experience. Getting the edge smooth and the finish even is what makes the difference.

And the thicker the card, the more impressive the finished edge.
