The Art of the Edge: Colour Edging Explained

It’s a small detail that makes a big difference. The hint of colour along the edge of a card can turn something simple into something striking.

What is colour edging?

Colour edging is exactly what it sounds like — applying colour to the cut edges of a card. It’s bold, it’s playful, and it works wonders on thicker stocks like duplexed or multiplexed cards.

Why choose it?

• Impact – Adds contrast and surprise when the card is seen from the side.

• Customisation – From classic black or gold edges to neons and brights, there’s a shade to suit every design.

• Premium feel – Works best on thicker stocks, instantly giving a sense of weight and quality.

Where it works best

Business cards, wedding invitations, or any print where you want to add a bit of edge (literally).

While we don’t edge cards in-house, we work closely with trusted specialists who do. That way, you still get the same quality and attention to detail you’d expect from everything we produce, with edging that complements the rest of your design perfectly.

Colour edging works beautifully on thick cards, especially when paired with foil blocking or duplexing. It’s a detail that tells people you’ve thought of everything.
