Hand Out a Card That Catches the Light
In a stack of cards, the glossy one catches the light. The print sits under a 16 point gloss laminated coat, a clear layer sealed over the ink that deepens color, sharpens photos, and shrugs off fingerprints and scuffs. Pass one at an event, tuck one into a shipped order, or leave a stack at a front desk, and that shine earns a second look.
A run of 50 covers one networking event, and 25,000 covers a whole sales team.
What Are Glossy Business Cards
Glossy business cards are full-color cards printed on a 16 point gloss laminated stock, where a clear glossy film is bonded over the print. If you want more stock choices at a lower starting price, see the Standard Business Cards.
What Size Should a Glossy Business Card Be
The default is the standard 2" x 3.5" card that slides into any wallet or holder. To stand out on shape, the 2" x 2" square reads like a modern token, and the 1.5" x 3.5" slim cut feels sleek and unexpected.
The shine, the print sides and the design are the three things to plan.
Let the shine do the work
The gloss laminated coat deepens saturated color and photography, so a bold logo or a full-bleed photo lands harder here than on an uncoated card. If you want the opposite, a soft matte hand-feel over shine, the Silk Laminated Business Cards read velvety instead. And if you only want gloss on part of the design, the Spot UV Business Cards put a flat gloss coat on chosen elements only.
Print both sides
Choose 4/4 and you print full color on both sides, which turns the back into real estate: a QR code, a short menu, an offer, or a second language while the front carries your logo. Choose 4/0 and the front prints full color with a clean blank back. The card stays a thick 16pt gloss laminated stock either way.
Design it without a designer
Pick a layout from our business card design templates, one of the 10,000+ free designs across our products, and swap in your colors, copy and logo in the online editor. A full-bleed photo or a solid color field shows off the glossy film best.
Ready-to-Edit Business Card Design Templates
The blank glossy business card template comes in the standard, square and slim sizes, each with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin drawn, so a full-bleed photo reaches the trimmed edge.

Wally puts a shine on every card
Why a stack of gloss-laminated cards gets a second look.
Fifty glossy business cards cost $37.24, and the 16 point gloss laminated coat makes color pop and shrugs off fingerprints. Pick a size, print one side or both, and Wally gets them in your hand, with Same-Day rush when the deadline is close.
What Makes the Gloss-Laminated Finish Different
Lamination is not the same as a plain gloss coating. A coating is a liquid finish cured onto the sheet, while these cards carry a film bonded over the full print, edge to edge, which also keeps water from soaking in.

How Fast Can You Get Glossy Business Cards
Glossy business cards print on a 4 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 3-day, 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same-Day orders ship that afternoon from our NYC plant once you approve by the cutoff. Before it prints you also choose a proof option: go straight to production, review a free online proof, or order a next-day hardcopy proof to hold the real card first.

Glossy Business Cards: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I order fewer than 100 glossy cards?
Yes. The minimum is 50 cards.
Can I write on a glossy card?
Not reliably. The gloss lamination seals the surface, so ballpoint and pencil tend to smear or skip rather than bite into the card. If you need to write an appointment date or a note on the card, choose an uncoated business card instead of this one.
Can the corners be rounded?
Yes, with a 1/8" or a 3/8" radius, on any of the 3 sizes.
