Luxury Foil Trading Card Design

I’m producing a limited-edition set of sport-shooting trading cards and need a designer who has already taken luxury foil cards all the way to press. The cards will follow the standard 2.5" × 3.5" format and feature a glossy foil layer that must register perfectly over selected elements—main logo, athlete nameplate, and subtle edge accents—while the remaining artwork stays in rich CMYK.

Here’s what I’ll supply: high-resolution athlete photos, official event branding, and the copy for stats and bios. I’m counting on you to translate that material into a premium front-and-back layout, build a clean foil mask, add bleed and safe zones, and hand back files that a commercial printer can drop straight into production.

Because this is a specialty job, acceptance is simple:
• Print-ready PDF (300 dpi, CMYK) plus separate 100 % K foil mask layer.
• Layered source file (AI or PSD) with text live and images linked.
• On-screen mock-up showing how the glossy foil will appear.

If you’ve worked with printers like Cartamundi, MPC, or any boutique foil house, let me know—as those specs match closely to what I’ll need. Two revision passes are built in so we can perfect alignment and color. Looking forward to seeing examples of foil cards you’ve already shipped.
