IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PAPER: UPGRADE BUSINESS CARDS
For our classic business cards, you can choose from dazzling art print paper to glossy Chromolux paper and eco-friendly recycled paper board. Online business card printing provides multiple options to leave a memorable impression. The 300 gsm card stock is the most popular option in our classic business cards category. Combining sturdiness with sharp and bold colours, this paper type is ideal for distributing business cards at big events such as trade shows and exhibitions. For special occasions, use our exclusive business cards to stand out from the crowd. Printed on one side, the business cards are made of even thicker card stock paper for enhanced durability. Our customers favour 290 gsm business card stock with a brilliant white surface that makes colours appear sharp and bold.
DETAILS MATTER: ROUND CIRCULAR EDGES, UV COATING & PRINTING
When you have business cards printed, you can book an upgrade at the same time as placing your order. For classic business cards and business cards with uncoated paper types, you can choose a corner rounding. Then the corners of the business cards will be rounded after printing, making them comfortable to hold. Another option to enhance your company's flagship is finishing. You can give classic business cards a special touch with a glossy UV varnish or a matt soft-touch cellophane coating. Partial finishing such as hot foil stamping can be used to accentuate individual elements such as fonts or the logo of your design. Hot foil stamping creates a shimmering mirror look. You can find out what to look out for when creating a partial finish in the print data in our Support Centre.
Tip: You can also create your print data with the help of our templates, which you can download on the respective product page. If you don't have print data yourself, you can design business cards online. With our online design tool, you can create your business cards in 8.5 x 5.5 cm format directly on your browser. You can then choose from a variety of papers and other options such as finishing or corner rounding.
