Page 4 Design
Page 4 is the back of your card, an often overlooked opportunity to promote your brand, share your production values and make your admin a little easier through barcodes and product names. Here’s a guide to the most commonly included elements.
FSC
FSC is a certification system to ensure that products made from forest products, such as paper, come from environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and viable forests. Loxleys are an FSC certified factory, ensuring all materials used and cards produced by us comply with their guidelines.
If you are looking to place an order and would like to include Loxleys unique FSC certificate on your designs please contact the team for files and placement guidance.
Packing Options
Whether you’re shipping to a multinational retail chain or individual customers, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to packaging your cards. We offer a wide range of options — from bulk packing to eco-friendly solutions. Find out more
Specialist Finishes
We love print - but if you want to take your design one step further adding foil, varnish or glitter or custom embossing and die-cutting.
Not all finishes are suitable or cost effective for digital print, we recommend checking out the lists on the digital and litho print page or speaking to a member of our team to scope out the best option for you.
Our most commonly requested finish is digital foil, please find attached a handy guide for setting up your artwork with foil
