Send an Invitation Guests Can Feel
Run a thumb across the front and the design answers back, rising off the card in foil a guest can feel with a fingertip before they read a single word. That tactile lift is the whole point of Dual Raised Invitations, printed on a soft touch 16pt velvet laminated cover that reads matte and expensive against the metal. Sets start at $249 for 100 cards and hold a 4.7 out of 5 across 15 reviews, the kind of finish 4OVER4.COM has been pressing since 1999. The second the envelope opens, the card signals that the occasion matters.
A wedding or gala invitation has to say formal before the guest reads the date, and raised foil on velvet does that on the 5" x 7" card and the 3.5" x 5" RSVP alike.

What are dual raised invitations
Dual raised invitations are premium cards where the design prints in raised foil that stands up off the surface. At 4OVER4.COM they print on a 16pt velvet laminated cover in two sizes, with a choice of two raised foil colors or raised spot UV plus one raised foil, in full color.
Instead of flat ink, the design rises off the card in raised foil, catching light and texture at the same time. You build it two ways: pick two raised foil colors so both run raised on the front, or pair a single raised foil with raised spot UV so a glossy pattern lifts beside the metal. Full color printing sits underneath, so photographs, monograms, and color fields print sharp while the foil and spot UV do the tactile work on top.
What size and paper are dual raised invitations printed on
Dual raised invitations print in two sizes. The 3.5" x 5" RSVP card is the compact reply size that tucks into an envelope suite, and the 5" x 7" card is the standard invitation size with room for a full announcement. Both print on the same 16pt velvet laminated cover, a single premium stock with a soft touch velvet laminate that feels smooth and matte in the hand.
That velvet surface is what makes the raised foil and spot UV stand out, since the metal and gloss sit against a quiet, non reflective background. Every size, both raised effects, and the foil and ink choices are grouped below the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.

Wally raises the invitation, not just the ink
Two raised foils on a velvet card, from $249 for 100.
Dual raised invitations start at $249 for 100 cards, with raised foil you can feel and a soft touch velvet laminated cover. Pick two raised foils in gold, silver, or holographic, or pair raised spot UV with one foil, in a 3.5 by 5 or 5 by 7 inch size. Wally gets them printed and out the door.
What raised effects and foil colors can you choose
There are two ways to build the raised effect. The first is two raised foil colors on the front, where two separate foils both print raised for a layered metallic look. The second is raised spot UV plus one raised foil, which sets a glossy clear texture next to a single metal foil for contrast between shine and color.
Either way you choose your foils from three raised finishes: raised gold, raised silver, and raised holographic, the last of which shifts color as the card tilts. For the printing underneath, pick 4/0 for full color on the front with a blank back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides.

Dual Raised Invitations: Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes do these invitations come in?
Two sizes are available: a 3.5" x 5" card, the usual RSVP size, and a 5" x 7" card for the main invitation. Many orders use both, with the larger card carrying the details and the smaller one going back with the reply.
How does the raised foil feel compared with flat foil?
The design rises off the card, so a fingertip finds the lettering before the eye reads it. That lift is the whole point of the dual raised finish, and it is why the card reads as a keepsake rather than a printed sheet.
Can I use two different raised effects on one card?
Yes. Set two raised foil colors on the front, or pair raised spot UV with one raised foil. The three foil colors, gold, silver and holographic, can each be used in either foil position.
What stock is used and how does it look with foil?
The cards print on a soft touch 16pt velvet laminated cover. The velvet surface reads matte against the metal of the foil, which is what makes the raised areas stand out instead of blending into a glossy finish.
How many do I have to order and what happens at higher counts?
The smallest run is 100 cards at $249, about $2.49 each with the raised foil built in. At 1,000 the cost falls to roughly $0.90 a card, so a large guest list brings the per invitation price down sharply.
How early should I order before the event?
Standard production is 7 business days with a 4 business day rush available, and that is before shipping. For a dated event, work back from the mailing date and allow time to address the cards after they arrive.
