Question

What finishes are available for clear business cards?

Answer

Clear cards come in two main finishes, and the right one depends on how much you want people to see through the card versus how readable your text needs to be.

  • Fully clear maximizes the see-through effect.
  • Frosted softens the background so type stands out.
  • Frosted also adds a subtle textured hand-feel.
