1. Choose the Right Paper & Finish, Because Feel Matters

When someone holds your business card, the texture and weight speak before your words do.

So, choosing the right paper and finish sets the tone for your brand, luxury, creativity, reliability, or innovation.

Here is a quick comparison of popular business card paper and finish types:

Paper Type	Finish Style	Ideal For	Perception
Matte Finish	Smooth, non-reflective	Minimalist brands	Elegant & professional
Gloss Finish	Shiny, vibrant colors	Creative professionals	Modern & eye-catching
Textured / Linen	Slightly rough surface	Premium brands	Sophisticated & tactile
Premium Cardstock (400gsm+)	Thick, durable	Executives & corporates	Luxury & quality-driven

At CAD Reprographics LLC, all these options come with precision digital printing, ensuring your colours are vivid, lines crisp, and the design flawless, no matter the paper type.

Pro Tip: Always choose a cardstock of at least 300gsm to ensure sturdiness & a premium hand-feel.

2. Keep Your Design Clean & Readable. Simplicity Sells!

Your business card is not a brochure. It is your elevator pitch in print. Because cluttered designs confuse & clean layouts convert.

Ask yourself:

• Can someone instantly identify what I do from my card?
• Is my name & contact information legible at arm’s length?
• Does my logo have enough white space to breathe?

Remember these key design layout tips:

• Try to stick to sans-serif fonts for readability.
• Maintain at least 5mm margin between text and edges.
• Stick to two colours that align with your brand palette.
• Avoid overloading with QR codes, taglines, & icons unless necessary.

If you are unsure how to balance creativity and clarity, CAD Reprographic’s in-house design team can help tailor a layout that is visually stunning yet business-ready, which is part of their end-to-end digital printing services for startups & enterprises alike.

3. Use Digital Printing for Precision. Because Details Define You!

Gone are the days of traditional offset printing being the only choice. Today, digital printing offers unmatched speed, precision, and affordability, especially when you need results fast.

Why choose digital printing for business cards?

4. Check Proofs Before Final Print.

Imagine you have printed 500 cards, and your email address has one extra letter.
Avoidable? Yes.
Expensive? Definitely.

Before giving the green light for printing, always review a digital proof or physical sample. Look out for:

• Spelling mistakes in names, titles, or contact info
• Misaligned logos or borders
• Incorrect bleed or margin setup
• Low-resolution images or pixelation

At CAD Reprographics LLC, every print order undergoes professional proofing and quality control, ensuring your final batch reflects perfection & not printing panic.

Pro Tip: Always print one test card first, especially if you are trying a new finish or special material.

5. Try Special Finishes With a Wow Touch to Stand Out

Your card does not have to look like everyone else’s. A few finishing touches can transform your business card from ordinary to unforgettable.

Explore premium finish options that Cadreprographic offers:

Finish Type	Description	When to Use
Embossing / Debossing	Raised or indented text or logo	Adds texture and brand presence
