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.

Poor cutting

30 Apr 2026 | Anna R. |

Verified Buyer

My cards were printed and cut so that the wording on the bottom was missing, and the logo was chopped off. I'd ordered them ahead of a conference, and they were so bad I couldn't give them out. Vistaprint did print me some more, but they arrived too late for the purpose intended. Very disappointing. Colour and card material good

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're truly sorry to hear that your business cards were miscut and that the replacement arrived too late for your conference; we know how vital it is to have your materials ready for such an important event. While we are glad our Care Team was able to arrange a replacement, we’re saddened to hear that it didn't arrive in time to be useful for your needs. To ensure your satisfaction, we have taken additional actions on your order and sent a separate email with more details to you. We've also shared your feedback with our quality control team to help us improve our processes, and we’re happy to hear that the color and card stock were otherwise to your liking.
