Gilding

Piccolo Press can supply you with blank gilded cards in either silver or gold. These are made in the traditional way (that has not changed for well over 100 years!) on thick boards, mostly imported from Holland.

The cards are cut to size and set in a clamp, where they are beveled and shaped by hand, and then foiled with gold or silver leaf. The result is beautiful hand-crafted cards that bear no resemblance to the factory produced product that is more often merely sprayed with gold ink.

We use 600 gsm, 400 gsm aboard. A particular favourite, unique to us, is our 600 gsm 'Oyster Board' which we believe is the finest board available for diestamping and engraved work.

Matching envelopes are available for all our cards.
Please ask for prices.

A sample of our gilded card is included in our sample pack.
