Question 1

How will my design look on matte paper?

Accepted Answer

Different paper stocks best complement certain kinds of designs. Matte paper is an especially good choice if your design features vibrant patterns with a lot of ink – the paper absorbs the ink especially well, so your design will look all the more vibrant and rich. If your design uses very crisp, fine lines, you may want to consider another paper stock, as fine lines can sometimes bleed.

Question 2

What’s the difference between paper weights? Should I choose a standard or premium paper for my matte business cards?

Accepted Answer

Our matte cards come in two paper weights – standard (300 gsm) and premium (400 gsm). Each paper weight features a silk-coated front and back. We typically recommend standard matte cards for high-volume distribution – trade shows, events or package inserts. For more personal, one-on-one interactions, we’d recommend our premium paper.

Question 3

Can I get rounded corners on my matte business cards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This option is available for both square and standard sizes.

Question 4

Which card shape would you recommend for me and my business?

Accepted Answer

For most people, choosing among our shapes – standard, square and slim – is a matter of preference. That said, there are a few things you can consider, such as picking a card size that matches your business personality. Standard cards (85 x 55 mm) are traditional and the most familiar and they complement timeless, classic card designs perfectly. Square cards (65 x 65 mm) are fresh and bold, especially popular among creative professionals interested in conveying an innovative, edgy style. Slim cards (85 x 40 mm) are sleeker, the middle ground between classic and contemporary – while this shape adds a unique touch of visual interest, it still fits in standard business card holders.

Question 5

Can I print on the back of my business card?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can with our one or two-sided printing options.

Question 6

What are brilliant finishes?

Accepted Answer

Our brilliant finishes are special upgrades that add more visual interest to your card design. Our metallic finish adds a foil effect to your design, while spot UV applies raised gloss to specific areas of your design. Please note that these finishes are applied to the front of card designs only.
