With lifted restrictions it won’t be long before we are mingling again at job fairs, exhibitions, trade shows and any other networking event. Therefore, now is the perfect time to talk about business cards. Instead of focussing on what is on the card, let’s talk about the card’s finish. Sure the contact information will be the most important element. However, the print finishing you select can have a huge impact and adds to the overall impression you leave on your card’s recipients. Avoid having your card end up in the bin and take some time to familiarise yourself with the printing options available and make the right impression.
The business card is a compact, handy and mighty marketing tool for you and your business. Your card should be good and compelling enough for people to take and hang on to. The print finishing for your business card is a reflection of your business’ core values and objectives. The right business card can create the perfect impression when given out.
Kaizen Print Business Card Print Finishing
Kaizen Print is a trusted printer based in Belfast. We have a range of personalised business cards. Let’s look at the variety of print options available to you and what they can say about you and your business.
Print Finishing – Paper Options
Silk
Silk card stock is our most popular. This card stock features great colour replication and vibrancy. In addition to looking polished, silk cards have a silky feel to them. Our silk cards are the first and only choice for many of our customers due to their sleek look and feel.
Uncoated
Uncoated business cards are growing in popularity. They are perfect for those looking for a more traditional feel to their business cards. Uncoated cards are digitally printed and provide beautiful muted tones. These cards are the true representation of the classical business card.
Kraft
Kraft cards are a relatively new addition to the business card assortment. They are made from a recycled card stock and for this reason their popularity is gaining in momentum. They are perfect if you are looking for bespoke rustic, yet with a traditional feel, business cards. However, due to their recycled nature, there will be colour variations in the paper and the printing. In other words, no two sheets are identical. Therefore, all your Kraft business cards will be unique, even amongst themselves!
Print Finishing – Lamination Options
When it comes to the lamination of your business card, Kaizen Print offers you the option of matt or gloss. Here is a look into what each option means for your business card.
Matt Lamination
Matt lamination produces a velvety texture to your business card. This finish also softens the contrast of the darker colours, giving a softer, more understated look. In other words, matt lamination is the classic traditional finish for the business card. Therefore, this lamination is the most common choice for our business card customers.
Gloss Lamination
Gloss lamination features a shiny, almost glossy, appearance. This enhances the colour and vibrancy of the ink on your business card. Therefore, this gloss lamination will catch the eye with high contrast colours and the sheen. In addition, the card will feel smooth and fingers will glide right across.
An additional finish option for your business card concerns the corners. Why stick with the regular finish only to be subjected to the same dog-eared fate as the rest of the business cards. Rounded corners are perfect for reducing the wear and tear of the card’s corners. In addition, rounded corners provide for easy and smooth access of business cards in wallets and purses. Options are available to round one, two, three or all four corners. Therefore, your business card will stand out from the rest and truly be memorable. In addition, they will last longer!
