Premium Business Card Finishes
Premium Business Card Finishes
A premium finish is what turns a business card into a moment — the flash of foil catching the light, the raised edge you feel before you read a word, the glossy hit of Spot UV against a matte base. These are the techniques and processes applied to a card that do the heavy lifting for your first impression, independent of which paper stock you choose underneath.
Every finish below is available with PMS (Pantone) color matching, so agencies and brand teams can hold their exact brand colors even through foil and specialty coatings.
- Foil Stamped Business Cards — reflective metallic foil for an instant high-end signal.
- Embossed Business Cards — a raised, tactile impression for classic, understated luxury.
- Spot UV Business Cards — glossy highlights on a matte base for modern contrast.
- Raised Spot UV Business Cards — thicker, 3D UV coating that adds real texture.
- Die Cut Business Cards — custom shapes and silhouettes that get noticed and kept.
- Akuafoil Business Cards — a soft-touch, water-based foil alternative with a distinctive matte shimmer.
