Unique
Business Cards
You can’t afford to take chances with your business cards.There are crucial things that should ALWAYS be
written in your business card.They include:
This goes without saying! What is the purpose of your card if you don’t have your business name included? A logo gives your business card instant recognition.Logos help clients and prospects recognize your business anywhere.A good example of a business that has been able to make its logo stick is Nike.The black ‘tick’, known as the swoosh is known worldwide.Even without seeing the name Nike, you will automatically know them immediately when you see their logo.
You should have your tagline included in the cards.This is a small statement that tells what your brand is all about. Many businesses use between 2-5 words.A good example of a tagline is Airbnb's which says 'Belong Anywhere' which tells you that it's all about making anywhere feel like home.A tagline is basically what sets you apart from your competitors. I love Apple’s tagline- “Think Different”.
After reading your business card, if someone is interested, how can they reach you if you don’t avail your contact information? Not having your contact information listed defeats the purpose of having a business card in the first place.Have all your relevant contact information and give alternatives.You can have two numbers listed, or a number, and your email. Make sure that the contact information you provide is recent.Most people change their contact information and forget to get new business cards that will reflect the change.This makes the information listed useless.In addition, it makes your business look disorganized and very unprofessional.
Have your website’s URL listed as there is only so much that a business card can say.Even when making a pitch yourself, you don't cover the details of your business.Have your website listed, so that people can check out all of your work in detail. This will help them make decisions regarding your business so always make sure your website is up to date! Ensure you have highlighted everything clearly and all your work is there.
We can’t deny how important social media platforms have become.Infact, many people are more likely to trust a business that has a social media presence because if they don’t do what they say they do, someone would have probably said something.Add all your social media pages on your business cards so that recipients can learn more about you.When you do, ensure that you regularly post and your content is relevant to your business.
White space refers to the blank spaces on a card that have nothing written on them.They’re important to have as they make your business card appear less busy and congested.It also helps recipients easily skim through your card. Don’t go overboard with information.Just have the relevant information displayed.You might be tempted to showcase a lot of things in your cards but don’t.Even when it comes to business cards, less is more!
Business card prices vary from one type to another and from one company to another.Let’s compare kraft business card prices from various companies.

You will need to use business card templates from a print company with hundreds of free templates to choose from that can be easily customized with literally no design skills.It’s all a matter of pick, drop and select.Once you are done designing, they can print it for you.The best part is that if you get stuck you can always consult them.

Ultra-thick cards with white ink- thick cards are always a good option.A thick black card with white ink is made to stand out.You are assured your information will be well visible to all recipients and the card will be durable due to its thickness.
Some of the reviews collected on cotton business cards from different companies include:
“The card is nice and thick and doesn’t bend.It feels solid.”
“The business cards are lightweight but tough and durable.“
“There is a nice texture to them, giving it that "recycled material" feel.”
Diamond Glitter Business Cards
A diamond glitter business card is a card that has been printed on glitter paper and thus has glitter on.At 4OVER4 the cards are shed free making them some of the best gift items and a customer favorite during the holiday season.
The difference is that diamond glitter business cards are not as thick as ultra-thick diamond business cards.They’re 17pt thick paper and can be printed on the front only.Ultra-thick business cards on the other hand are printed on 32pt thick glitter covers.
These are business cards which assume the shape that the customer orders.They can also be called any shape business cards. There are so many examples of businesses using custom shaped business cards to represent the essence of their businesses.
A company in the agriculture sector has used leaf-shaped business cards.In the same vein a photographer or video professional can use business cards that look like cameras.That is the power of die-cutting.
Die-cutting is a sure way of standing out of the crowd because of the uniqueness it yields in different products.
When it comes to printing, the sharp steel blade that creates a smooth edge offers consistency throughout the shape.The guiding shape that cuts through the paper stock producing different shapes and sizes is called a “die-line”.
The die line enables you to cut and form the business cards.
The manner in which the die-cutting process unfolds is determined by the cutter being utilized.A rotating die presses materials in cylindrical mechanisms that enable high volume production.In a flatbed die, however, materials are pressed against two opposing plates like a stamp for increased efficiency.
In the last few years, they have invented digital “die-cutting” machines.Since these are digital and DO NOT require a “die” to be made, they are really digital cutting machines.That has changed the entire landscape for printers like 4OVER4 who have embraced the new cutting edge technology.
A stack of edge gilded business cards
It is the process of applying shiny metallic foil on the edges of a book, business card and other printed products.You will recognize edge gilding in big religious books where the pages shine with silver or metallic foiling.
So far there are gilding services in gold and silver but these days technology has advanced enough to allow edge gilding in a variety of foil colors.
The process of edge gilding business cards
| Company | Dimension | Quantity | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4OVER4 | 2” X 3.5” | 250 | $129 |
| Elite Flyers | 2” X 3.5” | 250 | $165 |
They can also be referred to as folded business cards.A fold over business card is one that can be folded twice. There is no stark difference.They are ordinary business cards with twice the space.They have four surfaces.The added space allows you room to print more information.
You can include other important details about your brand or business on the different pages of a fold over business card.
With the extra space, you can add your services, directions, products or print a highly attractive image.
At 4over4 they come in three different sizes; 4” x 3.5”, 3.75” x 3.5”x 3.5 Uneven fold, 2” x 7” Even fold.
Yes, you can laminate them.Lamination adds a layer of protection to business cards while still making them look classy and irresistible. Additionally, lamination enhances durability.Because lamination makes them water-resistant and tear-resistant.
There are different types of lamination that you can use for your cards:
Flush-cut lamination is more commonly used by printing companies on business cards.Lamination is recommended for business cards because they generally have a short shelf-life.It fortifies them to endure for a long time.
It is the super-fine plastic coating that is bonded with the surface of a print or card.It makes it look beautiful while at the same time acting as a layer of protection.Lamination makes the prints last long by ensuring that they are scratch-proof, water-resistant and have a durable finish.
Let me explain this by painting a picture.Have you ever seen a business card or a packaging box that has a shiny smooth surface? This phenomenon can be commonly noticed in Apple, Microsoft, and Google products.The shiny surface is subtle but shiny.
Spot Gloss, also known as spot UV is a coating that highlights particular parts of the card when applied.Unlike Raised spot where the images are elevated, spot gloss is subtle and somewhat transparent.Spot gloss adds a transparent shine on a business card.
The most interesting part is that you can use Spot UV to make a specific area of the business card stand out.If you want your logo to stand out, or services or any other part, you just get that spot-laminated.
For fold over business cards which have a lot of information in one, spot lamination makes sense.Because you can shine the spotlight on areas of your business card that you feel is important to highlight.
In the printing process, spot lamination is the final part.Therefore, before you add spot lamination, you have to ensure that inks have been properly laid down.Any other lamination has already been done by this stage and the drying completed.
Spot UV is then printed on top of the paper as a transparent gloss.Finally, it is dried.
As you choose which areas to highlight, always remember that less is more in the design world.Avoid adding too much gloss on the cards because it will end up circumventing its very purpose.
In a fold over business card, you should avoid putting it on a fold.With the fold, the high-gloss finish will creek or peel away.It becomes fragile when cut.
Still on that point, gloss relies on regular/even surface tension.The folding, friction and creasing weakens the finish thereby causing cracks.
These are environmentally safe business cards made out of eco-friendly material called Kraft paper.Kraft paper is made of re-used, recyclable and biodegradable material.It’s a modern, classy style of business cards that have been in the market for the past 10 years now.
The cards are mostly used by companies that are conscious of environmental preservation and conservation.
There is a study that was done by ClinMed International library in 2019.According to the findings, North America is the second largest producer of non-biodegradable waste after China.China produces 28% of non-biodegradable waste while America and Europe produce 19% each.
As a result, this necessitated the making of kraft paper to stem the emission of harmful waste into the environment.At the same time, kraft business cards are made to be prestigious and luxurious.Your brand and business will be noticed and respected because of Kraft business cards.
When you are ordering kraft business cards, ensure that the cardstock is 100% recyclable.As the world is rapidly tilting towards green practices, kraft business cards help maintain a modern, rustic appearance.
Kraft business cards can fit all industries and businesses but these are the most appropriate for them:
Features of a kraft business card sold by 4OVER4
A foil business card is a card that has been made with foil stamping.Foil stamping is when the printing process uses heat, pressure, foil film and metal dies (razors).The foil can come in a wide assortment of colors, rolls, shapes, finishes and optical effects.
Business cards can stand out when different types of foil types are applied to them.These are the existing foil options available:
Metallic foil- Metal-like shine and shimmer, available in different colors such as gold, silver, red, green, blue and copper.
Matte pigment foil- Dull, non-shiny finish.It comes in solid colors.
Holographic foil-
Uses a hologram on the surface to create a dramatic “high tech” effect.Special effect foils- Examples are pearls, marbles, leathers, woodgrains and so forth.They add unique appearances and memorable textures.
Gloss pigment foil- These ones have a high gloss non-metallic finish with a wide range of color variety.
As discussed above, metallic foil is metal-like.It’s a shiny finish that comes in various colors
These are some of the available and common foils today:
You can find foil rolls in different solid colors in both glossy and matte finishes.
Color is applied to paper with pressure in an engraving fashion.The metal die is created in the appropriate shape for each individual color foil.For any particular design, there is a die designated to it almost like in die-cutting.
The developed metal dies are heated then stamped with enough pressure to seal a thin layer of foil to the paper.Sometimes a final die is produced if an embossed image is the goal for the design.
Plastic business cards are made from Polyvinyl chloride (PVC).It is a common plastic used in Identity cards, credit cards, store signs, bumper stickers and many more.So, the principle of printing on PVC is the same one used on plastic business cards.
One of the ways that you can print on plastic business cards is by using the inkjet printer.
The inkjet printer works on PVC paper between the sizes of 8 ½ inches and 11 inches.When you print other sizes it ultimately affects the quality of the final product.This scenario mainly happens in plastics that have glossy finish.The plastic doesn’t absorb the ink fully.It results in smudges even if the ink is already dry.
To counter that problem, laminate the sheet when the ink is dry.Experts at biz fluent advice that another solution would be to spray the sheet with a transparent fixative.Fixatives are readily available in stores.
It was interesting for me to note that there is a twist to printing on PVC.If the PVC has a paper backing, it should be inserted plastic side up. The ink should be applied to the plastic and not the protective backing.
Online printer services usually print on the side with the matte finish if you have both a glossy side and a matte side.
Small businesses that print plastic business cards are advised to avoid laser jet printers.Because laser printing uses heat. Obviously, when you introduce heat to plastic, it starts to deform and melt.
For all your printing needs, you need to check the most appropriate inkjet printers.There are different types of inkjet printers:
It uses heat to print.There is a series of tiny chambers that contain a heater each.They are all instructed by a digital command system. When they receive the command they eject a droplet of ink from every chamber.
When current surges through the heating elements, ink is rapidly vaporized in the chamber to form a bubble.Through causing pressure, the droplet of ink is propelled onto the paper.
It was developed by Epson.In contrast to the thermal inkjet technology, this one replaces heaters with ink-filled chambers. This one is a shapeshifter because when voltage is applied, the piezoelectric substance changes shape.
Consequently, it generates a pressure pulse in fluid which forces droplets of ink from the nozzle to the printing material.The Piezo technology is good for a wide variety of inks.With Piezo there is no requirement for a volatile component or kogation.(Build up of ink residue).
Having seen the existing kind of technologies, the manufacturer of paper decides how to make it compatible with either of the two technologies. As you buy your PVC material, check its compatibility and buy Piezo compatible material.

They are also known as silk-coated business cards.Other people prefer to refer to them as silk business cards.Silk laminated business cards are a luxury type of business cards.Their name comes from the unique silky, smooth and matte finish that they possess.
Moreover, the strong silky material makes them both tear-resistant and water-resistant in addition to their firm feel.
If you want to identify the silky kind of texture, just feel the boxes that come with Apple and Google products.They usually have a silky feel to them. That is what we call the silk laminated texture.
It’s the process by which a layer of paper is coated with a light layer of plastic.This brings out a uniform, subtle texture that mimics the feel of smooth silk fabric.
Silk lamination softens hard, solid cardboard feel on any traditionally uncoated cardstock.It adds pizzazz to a mundane thick material.And this pizzazz is very important because it makes a business card catch the attention of customers.
Laminating your cards with silk indicates that your brand offers quality and durable products.
Similar to velvet lamination, silk lamination mutes colors.Therefore, you don’t have to worry about shouting colors or “being too much”.
Coated paper is like a pane of glass.It is smooth and absorbs less ink.Additionally, it is durable.By contrast, uncoated paper has no finishing or coating.According to business printing, coated paper is treated with a coating compound so that it can reveal the qualities of the paper.The qualities can include its weight or gloss features.
On the other hand, uncoated paper is not as smooth as coated paper and absorbs ink like a sponge or paper towel.The uncoated paper is also versatile because it has different textures and finishes.
Instances where you can use either coated or uncoated paper
Coated (More vibrant color production):
Uncoated (Best for products that are used daily while exuding a prestigious look):
Meaningful tips as you decide on the paper to use:
Velvet laminated business card
First and foremost, what is lamination? It is the super-fine plastic coating that is bonded with the surface of a print or card. It makes it look beautiful while at the same time acting as a layer of protection.Lamination makes the prints last long by ensuring that they are scratch-proof, water-resistant and have a durable finish.
The finishing on a business card is crucial because it determines the reaction or emotion it will evoke.It’s no secret that a business card should make your business stand out.Statistics even say that more than 70% will judge you or your brand based on the appearance of your business cards.This is according to a survey by Small Business Trendz.
That same survey revealed that more than 60% of business cards end up in the trash can.To avoid being part of that statistic, you should ensure that your business cards are irresistible.Have them done so well that they will be indispensable.
One of the ways you can make your business command attention is by employing velvet lamination.Velvet lamination is one of the latest finishes to be invented.While we can’t point out when it was invented, we can agree that it has influenced a lot in the world of business cards.
Laminating your cards with a velvet finish adds a much-needed touch of leisure.One of the unique things about velvet is its soft, textural feel. According to print expert Shlabh Agarwal, they stimulate the sense of touch and the sense of sight as well.
One important thing that is worth noting about velvet laminated cards is that they are very firm.As such, it adds a protective layer to prints. Therefore, unlike soft touch printing, velvet lamination does affect the overall look of a business card.The result of velvet is muted colors, elegance and prestige.
If you want to know velvet lamination better, look for a fresh peach.The soft texture on the skin of a peach is very similar if not identical to that of a velvet laminated card.Many people in the printing world often refer to it as the “velvet feel”.
As you can notice, velvet lamination is like a two-edged sword.You get both longevity and beauty at the same time.
