Business card types

Standard

Our standard cards are the most common chosen cards. They can be coated, uncoated and laminated cards.

Spot UV

Spot UV is a premium print application that provides a shiny UV coating to a specific area of the business card. A high gloss Spot UV over a matte finish provides great contrast to make your card stand out.

Scodix

Scodix or raised UV is an eye-catching, premium print finish which delivers a raised UV look to instil a sense of quality while making a statement that you are different from the rest.
This can be raised clear (most common) or you can also choose from metal silver and gold.

Business Cards with Foiling

Foiling is a fantastic way to convey premium and quality. It is a metallic foil which is applied to the surface of the business cards to deliver a high quality, shiny metallic shade. Email us for a quote on foiled business cards.
