Gild Edge
What is Gild Edge?
Gild edge refers to a finishing process applied to printed materials where a thin strip of foil—either metallic or colored—is bonded to the edge of pages. This technique not only reinforces the durability of the product but also adds a subtle, refined accent to the overall design.
Gild Edge Color Options
The process accommodates a broad range of colors. Traditional choices include gold, silver, and copper, while custom color options allow for closer integration with your project's overall color scheme. The color selection is based on both aesthetic preference and the intended use of the printed piece.
Gilded Edge Book Printing
For book printing, the gild edge process is integrated into the standard production workflow. After the pages are printed and trimmed, the foil is applied to the edges, providing a subtle enhancement that distinguishes the book without detracting from its readability. The technique is particularly valued in limited editions or special releases for its understated elegance.
Custom Gilded Edge Cards
Custom gilded edge card decks are produced using similar methods as book printing. The process is carefully calibrated to ensure that the foil adheres consistently across various card sizes and materials. This approach allows for a customized finish that is both practical and visually appealing, making it suitable for game cards, trading cards, and specialty decks.
