Question

Why are there some variances in the color of my edge painted business cards?

Answer

Painting the edges of a business card is a hands-on craft that takes skill and patience, so slight variances in the edge color are normal from card to card. The finish is applied by a person, not a machine, which is part of what gives these cards their premium, handmade character.

  • The paint is applied by hand along a very thin card edge.
  • Minor differences in shade or coverage can appear across the batch.
  • These small variations are expected and are not considered a defect.
