Your business card is often the only thing a new contact takes home, so the paper matters as much as the design. A heavier stock says quality before anyone reads a word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matte<\/strong> is the safe choice. It has no glare, takes a pen well and makes colours look calm and modern. It is ideal for consultants, therapists and anyone who likes to write a note on the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gloss<\/strong> makes photographs and saturated colour pop. It suits photographers, restaurants and retail, but it is hard to write on and shows fingerprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Uncoated<\/strong> stocks feel natural and slightly textured. Pair them with simple type and a limited palette for a craft or heritage look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whichever you pick, look for at least 16 pt (350 gsm). Thinner cards bend in a wallet; thicker ones feel premium.
