Stock Weight and What It Tells Your Client

The weight of a business card in a client's hand communicates something before they read a word on it. A thin, flimsy card reads as low-cost and provisional. A card with genuine heft — 400 gsm and above — reads as confident and established. This is not a subjective aesthetic preference; it is a consistently observed reaction across professional services contexts in Australia.

Vertical Business Cards are produced from 350–700 gsm laminated board. Standard professional cards use 350–400 gsm. Ultra-thick cards use 550–700 gsm double-layer construction — two sheets laminated together, often with a coloured core between them that creates a coloured edge effect when the card is viewed from the side. The coloured edge is a distinctive detail that is noticeable when a card is held and is increasingly used in the Australian design, finance, and legal sectors.

Soft-Touch, Spot UV, Foil — Which Finish for Which Industry

Soft-touch matte lamination is the most requested finish across our business card client base. The velvet-like surface quality creates a tactile premium signal that standard gloss or matte lamination does not — recipients notice it and comment on it, which is exactly the reaction a first-impression document should generate. It is widely used in design agencies, architecture firms, financial advisory practices, and premium retail brands in Australia.

Spot UV over a matte or soft-touch base — selective gloss coating applied to the logo, name, or a specific design element — creates a visual contrast that directs the eye and is subtle enough to be used in conservative professional contexts (law, accounting, medicine) without appearing decorative. Gold or silver foil stamping is a statement choice — used by brands in luxury retail, events, and high-end hospitality who want the card to communicate prestige explicitly.

Standard vs Custom Formats for Vertical Business Cards

The standard Australian business card dimension is 90 × 55 mm — we print this format across all stock and finish options. Square cards (55 × 55 mm or 60 × 60 mm) are an increasingly common format choice for brands that want a distinct card shape; they read differently from a standard rectangular card in a card wallet or on a desk and are used effectively by creative and design-focused businesses. Folded cards (90 × 110 mm folding to 90 × 55 mm) provide additional space for contact information, a brief brand statement, or a product or service listing. Custom die-cut shapes are available for brands where the card itself is a brand element. Related: Double Sided Business Cards.

The Print Process and What to Expect

Business cards are printed in full-colour CMYK as standard. Pantone spot colour matching is available for brands where exact colour reproduction is critical — this is recommended for brands with a defined colour standard that needs to match accurately across multiple print runs and across different branded materials. All cards are printed at 300+ DPI with appropriate bleed and crop marks; we check all submitted artwork files before press and flag any issues before production begins. Free design is available if you do not have existing print-ready artwork.
