The Power of Foil

From greeting cards and announcements to invitations and programs, your customers have an opportunity to upsell with the power of foil. It makes ordinary communication stand out, whether it is a mailed greeting card or a menu at a special holiday dinner. Adding the sparkle of foil draws attention to the occasion and the message. 

For businesses, the best way to stand out with holiday messages is to add foil to the holiday cards and other communications. For customers who send gifts to their clients, suggest notepads with their logo in metallic foil or special business cards for the holiday season that they can include in their mailers, packaging, or to use as holiday gift cards. 

For schools at every level, offer bundles of teacher, student, and parent appreciation cards that include the school logo and motto in bright metallic foil. For seasonal holiday dances, plays, and art fairs, offer foil invitations that leverage foil enhancement and upscale paper to create a memorable, upscale experience.

Holiday Foil Print Packages: Your Recipe for Success

Custom foil print bundles are the way to intrigue your customers with ideas. Curated, themed bundles with print and promotional items can elevate your customers' experience. Add options for foil to add sparkle and excitement! Here are some package ideas:

Themed Packages: 

Focus on the different types of sporting events your customers support. Sports teams (school-based and community-based) always need notebooks and planners. Suggest adding a pop of foil for the covers. Don’t forget to include hats and shirts, pens, and posters to tell a big story for each seasonal sport. This bundle can work for any community-based organization like social and service clubs, too.

Custom signage for schools supporting science, chess, theatre, and other clubs that meet and host events, suggest fundraising postcards that include Foil Worx enhancements. The gold, silver, and copper options take communication to a new level! Don’t forget to offer options! Notebooks can include tabs to separate topics, while promotional items like keychains, hats, and backpacks help members of the club stand out. If you have never offered trading cards, they can elevate everyone in the school to a star, and enhancing with foil is a great offer.

Event-Specific Packages: 

There is a constant parade of events throughout the year. Help your customers stand out with tailored foiled print bundles for sports teams, student organizations, business associations, school clubs, and community groups based on how they operate. If you have the opportunity, talk to the sponsors, and see what elements would help them organize and stand out. Foil for highlighting is a great choice for announcements, invitations, and event programs. Package signs and banners to keep events visible in the community and to help recruit new club and team members! 

Personalized Kits: 

Consider offering a build-your-own custom foil print bundle with supporting signs and promotional products via a dedicated sales portal. Your 4over team can help you find the right items to offer. Making customization easy for every type of customer you serve is a winning option!

Why Do We Suggest Foil?

Adding a touch of shine and sparkle elevates every communication. Foiling involves applying metallic or holographic accents to specific areas of the design to spotlight design elements like the school logo, mascot, or text. The gleam of foiling adds a touch of luxury and charm. Use different color foils to differentiate between topics. Foil transforms everything it touches into keepsakes!

When fall is in the air and winter is around the corner, there is a wave of excitement and anticipation. Let your customers know that you can help them use the power of creative signage, curated custom print bundles, and the magic of foiling to stand out in the crowd.
