A true classic never goes out of style — a point well proven by matte business cards. This paper stock continues to be among our most popular year after year and it’s easy to see why: the shine-free paper absorbs more ink, making it a great option for big, colourful designs.

Cards image as designed slightly flimsy

Cards arrived as designed however the basic version of cards doesn’t hold its shape very well and after a short time in a wallet or purse they fold and fray. I’ll probably have to order a more sturdy card for my next order and see if there’s much difference in it.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

We’re glad the design and print came out as intended, but we understand your concern about the basic matte stock not holding up well with regular wallet or purse use. This lighter-weight material is designed more for general distribution rather than long-term handling or frequent storage, which can sometimes lead to bending or edge wear over time. For future orders, you may want to consider upgrading to a thicker or premium card stock option, which offers better rigidity and improved resistance to fraying and folding. That can make a noticeable difference in how the cards hold up in everyday use. We appreciate you sharing this experience—it helps us improve and also helps guide better recommendations for future orders.
