The business card, your first impression
First contact, trade show, meeting: the business card remains the number-one presentation tool. A thick, well-finished card immediately reflects how serious your business is — the trend is towards 300-400 g/m², far more valued than yesterday's 250 g.

Frequently asked questions
Which weight should I choose?+
300 to 400 g/m²: this is the current trend — a rigid card inspires confidence from the very first handshake. The 400 g coated stock offers maximum rigidity; add lamination or UV varnish for resistance to moisture and scratches.
Which finish for a high-end card?+
Soft Touch lamination: an unforgettable velvety feel, fingerprint-resistant. UV varnish: maximum shine and protection (scratches, moisture). Matt lamination: understated elegance. Applicable on the front, the back or both.
What should I put on my business card?+
The logo clearly visible first, the full name and job title, a direct line, a personal e-mail (avoid info@…), the website and the address if your clients visit you. Legible font, 8-9 pt, a maximum of 3 sizes of the same font, and plenty of white space: an airy card reflects a well-organised company.
Portrait or landscape?+
Landscape front and back 85×55 is the most common and most practical (card holders, rotary files). Portrait stands out visually but offers less width for contact details. The 4-page folded card doubles the space: location map, range, appointment.
What margin should my file have?+
2 mm bleed all around, text and logo at least 4 mm from the finished edge, and at least 5 mm between the logo and the text to avoid a cramped look. Our free AI analysis + human check verify everything before printing.
Is express delivery available?+
Yes: Standard 6 working days, Standard+ 4 working days and Overnight (ordered before 12 noon → delivered the next working day, up to 2,500 units). The estimated date is shown for each quantity.
