What Is Business Card Printing?
Business card printing is the process of producing customised cards containing professional, contact, and branding information using digital or offset printing methods. The final card can be customised through paper stock, thickness, colour, size, and finishing.
Business Card Printing Options Available at Ribbon House
Choose a card style that reflects your brand, profession and intended use.
Matte Business Cards
Matte business cards have a smooth, non-reflective surface that gives designs a clean and professional appearance. They work particularly well for corporate identities, consultants, and minimalist designs.
Glossy Business Cards
Glossy cards have a reflective surface that can make colours and photographs appear more vibrant. They can be useful for visually driven brands and promotional networking materials.
Velvet Laminated Business Cards
Velvet lamination creates a soft, premium feel while giving the card an elegant appearance. It is suitable for brands looking for a more luxurious tactile experience.
Spot UV Business Cards
Spot UV applies a glossy coating to selected areas such as logos, names, or design elements. This creates contrast between the treated area and the rest of the card.
Gold, Silver and Copper Foil Business Cards
Foil printing adds a metallic effect to selected elements. Gold, silver and copper foil can be used to highlight logos, names, borders or other branding details.
Embossed and Debossed Business Cards
Embossing raises selected elements from the surface, while debossing presses them into the card. Both techniques add texture and depth to a design.
Kraft Business Cards
Kraft cards offer a natural, distinctive appearance and can work well for businesses that want a more organic or handmade visual identity.
PVC Transparent Business Cards
Transparent PVC cards offer an unconventional alternative to traditional paper business cards and can help brands create a distinctive visual impression.
