Using Special Finishes as an Enhancement

**Using our Special Finishes as an Enhancement**

We suggest Foil and Spot Gloss elements be used as an accent to your design rather than the main feature. Too much coverage can cause problems in production and with the final printed results. We recommend keeping all Foil and Spot Gloss no more than 20-30% of the total card surface, or an area no larger than a 1 x 1 inch/ 25 x 25mm square.
