Double-Sided Business Cards
Sometimes one side is simply not enough! Double sided business cards are amazing for those who want to showcase their contact info alongside some really amazing graphics, company logo and more. There’s so many ways to maximize the extra space and make a double-sided business card more valuable. Here’s just a few ideas to get you started:
- Use one side for a visual map or directions to your business
- Include a promotional coupon
- Have a company motto or favorite inspirational quote? Share it with your potential customers
- Leave one side blank to act as “white copies” for recipients to add notes
Letterpress Business Cards
Did you know that Letterpress is the oldest form of printing? There’s something especially stunning and eye catching about letterpress business card printing. Because the letterpress method inks using a stamp of sorts which creates raised letters and images by pressing into the surface of the paper or card material to reproduce an image in reverse, the result is very tactile experience — and, unlike other forms of advertising, we physically hand our business card to people.
The goal is to make people pay attention. So the more they stand out, the more likely people are to read them and remember the services and products we offer. Letterpress is a great way to make sure your printed products leave a lasting impression (no pun intended).
Silk Cards
If you really wanna wow ’em, you may consider going with silk cards. Most of our high-end phones, tablets, and other smart devices feature product packaging that has silk lamination because it feels luxurious and high-end. The tech companies are onto something, so take a page outta their book and go with silk laminate business cards, satin business cards, or matte laminated business cards. Silk business card printing may also include uv coating for extra protection.
Plastic Business Cards
Plastic business cards are about the same size as a credit card, they’re durable and waterproof — which is a great, witty choice for water-based businesses (Think surf shops, pool supply companies or swim instructors) but also an amazing choice for any business who wants to make sure there business card survives long enough for someone to actually use it.
Business Cards with Rounded Corners
Believe it or not, but business cards with rounded edges might just give you an “edge” over tge rest of your competition. Rounded corners are a sleeker, more modern option than traditional straight-edged cards. It’s a small detail that can have BIG impact.
Color Business Cards
Black and white can be wonderfully minimal, but you gotta make sure that fits your business style. Sometimes full color business cards are a better fit for your business, perhaps. because of your logo or the general vibe of your products/services. Keep in mind, color does tend to be more expensive, but often it’s worth it!
Digital Printing Considerations
Call us today for a free quote on your next business card printing project! But, before you do, here’s a list of things to consider:
Business card size. Get a feel for the size of card you’re considering. There’s lots of options outside of the standard sizing. The most commonly available business card size in the U.S. 3.5” x 2”.
Other readily available sizes for business cards in the U.S. include:
3.5″ x 2.5″, 3.5″ x 1.75″
Square business cards come in 2″ x 2″, 2.5″ x 2.5″, 3″ x 3″ and 3.5″ x 3.5″.
Circle cards tend to be available in 2.5″ x 2.5″
Paper and finish type. We’ve already covered some of the paper options you can choose from such as plastic, silk, and recycled paper, but there’s also different finishes too, including glossy, matte, soft touch, and more!
Ink type. Unfortunately, there’s often a pretty big price difference between black & white and color printing. Make sure to consider what’s most needed for your vision, and how ink selection may factor into the cost. Still unsure?
Some questions to ask yourself are:
- Do I want my business cards to be image-heavy?
- Do I want to include a lot of text info?
- What’s takeaway I want my recipients to have (to inform? to excite the imagination?)
