Our standard business cards are produced using high-definition offset litho printing for pin-sharp text and vibrant colour reproduction. Printed on thick, premium card stock with a range of finishing options to create a card that truly reflects your brand.
Paper Options
- 450gsm Silk — thick, smooth, professional finish. Our most popular stock — substantial in the hand with excellent colour reproduction.
- 350gsm Uncoated — natural, writeable finish with a tactile texture. Perfect for minimal designs, handwritten notes, and craft-style branding.
Lamination Options
- No Lamination — shows the natural finish of the card stock.
- Matt Lamination Double Sided — smooth, non-reflective coating on both sides for an understated, sophisticated look. Protects against scuffs.
- Gloss Lamination Double Sided — high-shine coating on both sides that makes colours pop. Protects against fingerprints and wear.
- Soft-Touch Lamination Double Sided — velvety tactile finish that feels luxurious in the hand. A real talking point at networking events.
Note: Lamination is available on 450gsm Silk only. It cannot be applied to uncoated stock.
Embellishment Options
- Spot UV — a raised, high-gloss varnish applied to specific areas of your design (logos, text, patterns) for a striking contrast against matt lamination. Available single or double sided.
- Gold Foil — metallic gold foil stamped onto your design for a premium, luxurious finish.
- Silver Foil — metallic silver foil stamped onto your design for a sleek, modern look.
Note: Embellishments require lamination. Select a lamination option first, then choose your embellishment.
