A Quality Card is Printed on High Quality Paper
Many discounted or free business card offers use inexpensive, poor quality card stock. The price may seem right, but these cards often fall apart quickly and present your potential client or customer with a poor image of your business. We all want to save money, but you have to carefully weigh the lower price with the poor quality and chance to be spammed by an inexpensive or free business card company's third-party advertisers.
The image you want to present can be affected by the card stock you choose. Business card paper comes in four options: glossy, matte, textured and regular. Photos are often better represented on glossy card stock, but the glossy paper can damage your laser printer. This is why it is important to use business card printing services for your glossy business card needs.
Glossy Stock Business Card Paper
Glossy business card stock does allow colors to pop. But, if you opt for this, remember that it can be hard to write on glossy paper. If your or your clients ever need to jot notes on your business cards, consider the frustration at not having the writing show. This is where it can be best to order a mix of glossy and uncoated card stock.
Paper Thickness
While glossy is considered best for business cards that will contain photographs, most business cards are printed on card stock with a 12-point thickness or 14-point thickness. Paper that is too thick can jam in a printer and take up too much space in a client's wallet. In addition, thicker card stock is incredibly expensive. Paper that is too thin will tear easily. What's the point of handing out business cards if they will rip within a couple days? You need card stock that is sturdy without being too bulky.
Once you've designed your business card on our user-friendly software, there are two paper options. We use 14-point glossy paper or 12-point uncoated card stock. These options are durable and present a professional business card that you will be proud to hand out to customers and contacts.
