Business Cards
Business cards should catch the eye, be memorable, and then get out of the way. When your possible customer goes to find your card later, it should look good. There is a large range of paper stocks for business cards, and you can even get cards printed on plastic or other non-paper substrates.
Pick an uncoated stock or a dull/matte stock if you want people to be able to write on your card. Uncoated stock is the best option when you want people to be able to write directly on the piece without smudges, but if you have important photos or graphics on your card they will look much more vibrant on the dull/matte stock than on the uncoated stock.
- Using metallic foils or metallic ink? Metallic inks should only be printed on gloss stocks, as the ink will not look metallic at all on uncoated or only slightly on dull/matte stocks.
- Want something that feels interesting to the touch? Use a Soft Touch® coating that makes the card feel like velvet. Request a sample; you have to touch it to get the effect.
- Don’t waste time and effectiveness by trying to save a little money. Your business card is an important marketing tool – consider using custom features and get a great design that stands out.
Paper Recommendations:
- 120# (14 pt) Dull/Matte Cover when you want a final piece that has crisp text and images while maintaining the ability to write on.
- 100# (14 pt) Uncoated Cover is great for business cards that you’ll be writing on and for certain demographics (attorneys, financial, other professionals).
- 120# (14 pt) Gloss Cover works best if you’re using metallic inks or if you want the professional look and feel of glossy paper.
- 160# (18 pt) Gloss Cover is super stiff and thicker than most business cards. Get’s noticed, but you can’t keep as many in your wallet.
- Magnet Stock keeps your message in front of your clients all year long. Our magnetic stock enables high-quality printing with excellent color reproduction and will stick to most metal surfaces. Great for business cards from service industries that could be saved and referenced on the fridge.
- Worried about your cards getting scratched up in pockets and purses? Get free aqueous coating or an optional UV coating to add greater protection for your card and make the colors pop dramatically.
