High-Quality Business Cards: Paper and Printing Options
Even in the digital age, high quality business cards still help a business to stand out. They can provide a positive first impression if you only have a few minutes to network. Business cards can be like an elevator pitch and draw potential customers in if they are effective. Paper and printing options are two important aspects to consider when creating your business cards. Brandly can help you make the right choice with multiple products available.
Your Choice of Paper and Why It Matters
It can be easy to go with the standard when it comes to business cards. These small cards may feel insignificant even when you know you must have some on hand. Your prospect may have dozens just like them, and yours can get lost in a pile. Consider each component carefully to make your business cards stand out, starting with the paper.
Brandly gives you several choices when it comes to business card paper. Even with standard card 14-point paper, you have three options. First is the uncoated paper, which is bright white, crisp, and easy to write on.
Matte paper supports heavier coverage with no shine and a smooth texture. This type of paper showcases images well with saturated color. Gloss paper adds a shine that catches the eye and provides vibrant color for photos and colorful designs.
Premium Paper
Brandly offers three options for premium 16-point paper as well. Bright White paper allows you to make a bold statement with an ultra-white finish. It’s crisp and can be written on, which is excellent for customized messages and personal interactions. Your design can stand out even more on matte premium paper stock. It works well with heavy ink coverage and vibrant colors. The high shine will surely capture attention if you choose the premium card in a gloss finish.
Deluxe Paper
Brandly offers Deluxe paper to take your business cards to the next level. This 18-point paper comes in two options. Soft-touch offers a matte laminate finish and provides a more substantial feel in your hands. As the name indicates, this paper is soft to the touch. It also creates a powerful card with saturated color, making it versatile for all kinds of businesses.
Deluxe Writable is the high-shine gloss version of Deluxe Paper. It is the ideal choice of business card with no coating on the second side, which allows you to write a personal note or other information.
Environmental Paper
Brandly offers Enviro options to have a sustainable business card choice. The Enviro Kraft Paper cardstock is created on 18-point paper that is 100 percent post-consumer material. The paper is light brown for a natural look and an eco-friendly message. You can quickly write a personal message on the card.
The second option is Natural Uncoated with 30 percent post-consumer material. Light brown in color, the 14-point paper is crisp and can be written on.
Printing Options
Once you have decided on the paper you want to use, you will need to consider printing options for your high-quality business cards. Brandly offers multiple features to help your business cards outshine the competition. We provide starter templates that make it easier to create your business cards and upload them to your portal on our system.
You can upload one or multiple design templates to represent your company and it’s divisions or subsidiaries. We can help you convert any of the fields to form variables, allowing you to customize the information you want to be included quickly. Upload a photo of employees to further personalize the card. You can also add social logins to give potential leads more connecting options.
You can set your business cards in either landscape or portrait mode. Brandly prints in full color allow you to use your logo and other images just the way they appear on other marketing materials. You can set up your cards to be printed on both sides; the second side of printing is always free.
Finishing Options for High Quality Business Cards
Once you have designed your business card, you can choose various finishing options. One popular choice is the rounded corner, which creates a contemporary look. Square corners are classic and may be ideal for your business, depending on your brand identity. Foil embossing adds a sophisticated touch to cards with a metallic look, while soft-touch lamination enhances the texture. The velvet-like surface is unique and can help your business be more memorable.
UV coating is another finish option. The coating reflects light, making your colors and images appear even more vibrant. It also adds robustness to the cards, enhancing the professional image you want to convey.
