Different paper stocks best complement certain kinds of designs. Glossy
paper is an especially good choice if your design features bright colours or
photography – the way the light hits the paper helps colour and images
really pop off the card. If your design uses less ink or is predominantly white, you may want to consider another paper stock, as the shine may prove
distracting.
To create an effective and professional glossy business card, we
recommend you keep the following three tips in mind:
• Use no more than 2 fonts. Too many text styles make a design look
less professional and it’s harder to read and understand. Font size
matters too - we recommend using a font size above 8 points.
• Make your copy count. You only have a few seconds to get
someone’s attention. Make your message simple, clear and easy to
read.
• We recommend using an image or logo to elevate your design. Avoid using small images or detailed logos – these will print smaller than what’s displayed on screen.
Our single-sided glossy cards have a silky back which are perfect for
writing on. They’re a great option when you need to make notes for
appointment dates and reminders. We wouldn’t recommend double-sided
glossy if you want to be able to jot down a note on the card.
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.
For most people, choosing between our standard, square and slim card
shapes is a matter of preference. There are a few things to consider when
picking a card shape that matches your business personality. Standard (91 x
55 mm) is the traditional and most familiar card size – a good option if
you’re interested in a timeless, classic approach. Square (65 x 65 mm) is a
fresh, bold approach that’s especially popular among creative professionals,
as it conveys an innovative and edgy style.
Not at this time.
Yes. You can choose from our one or two-sided printing options.
Our glossy cards come in two paper thicknesses – standard (350 gsm)
and premium (400 gsm). Each paper thickness features a silk-coated front
and back. We typically recommend standard glossy cards for high-volume
distribution – trade shows, events or package inserts. For more personal,
one-on-one interactions, we’d recommend our premium paper.
For glossy business cards, we offer a metallic finish upgrade. This is a brilliant finish that adds a smooth and shiny accent to the chosen areas at the front of your card. It also helps in adding more visual interest to your card design.
