100% recycled paper

Our recycled matte business cards are made from 100% post-consumer paper, giving you an uncoated finish that lets your design do the talking. The shine-free surface is great for writing appointment reminders or notes.

Subtle yet stylish

The ink-absorbent paper has an organic look that works well with muted colours and geometric designs. The softer print quality gives your card a more classic and refined look, though images and small details may not show up as crisply.

Easy to design

Whether you’re just browsing for ideas or you know how you want your card to look, our design process is easy and intuitive. If you’ve already got your complete design ready to go, you can upload a file in just a couple of clicks. You can also browse our templates until you find one that fits your business (and your style). Then, customise with your own logo, images, text and more. We’ll give you pointers along the way, and you’ll always see an option to ask for help.

Responsibly Forested: Made with pulp certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and/or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). This means the materials come from responsibly managed forests that protect biodiversity and respect the rights of indigenous communities, while helping to reduce deforestation.

The feel and weight is lovely, but the print seems a little faint. Maybe that's just how it goes with the matt card, but in future I'll have a rethink because I was a bit disappointed when I opened the box. These are the first business cards I've had made for my small business. Would love to know if you have any recommendations for how to get the colours to appear more bold in future, thank you.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, and congratulations on having your first business cards made for your small business! We're glad to hear that you were pleased with the feel and weight of the cards, but we're sorry the print appeared a little faint and didn't meet your expectations. We understand how important it is for your business cards to make a great first impression. For future orders, we recommend using darker or more saturated colours in your design to help achieve a bolder appearance, as matte finishes can sometimes result in a softer, less vibrant look compared to glossy finishes. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we hope to have another opportunity to provide you with business cards that truly reflect your brand and meet your expectations.

Great texture and like the natural feel but would feel a bit more premium if they were thicker.

Standard corners tend to give cards a more traditional look – the clean 90-degree cuts feel classic and elegant. Our rounded corners typically pair well with card designs that feel more modern or softer in style.
