Product Description
Your business card is often the first physical touchpoint a potential client has with your brand — and it needs to make an impression that lasts long after the meeting is over. Our standard business cards are available on 350gsm or 450gsm silk stock, with a choice of matt, gloss or velvet lamination and optional spot UV or foil embellishments for a finish that genuinely stands out from the pile. Whether you're a sole trader, a growing agency or an established business refreshing your brand, we'll help you put something worth keeping into people's hands. Printed in Brighton & Hove with UK-wide delivery available.

Stock Options
- 350gsm silk — a smooth stock with excellent colour reproduction, lighter in weight than our 450gsm option while retaining the same silk finish. A solid all-round choice for full-colour designs.
- 450gsm silk — a heavier, smooth stock with excellent colour reproduction. The premium choice for bold, full-colour designs and photographic imagery. Available with lamination and embellishment options.
Lamination Options
- Gloss lamination — shiny, vibrant finish that makes colours pop. The most popular choice for bold, colourful designs and image-led business cards.
- Matt lamination — smooth, sophisticated finish with a premium tactile quality. Popular with professional services, luxury brands and anyone who wants their card to feel as good as it looks.
- Velvet lamination — an ultra-soft, velvety surface that feels extraordinarily premium in the hand. One of the most memorable business card finishes available — once someone touches a velvet laminated card, they rarely forget it.
Embellishment Options
- Spot UV — a high-gloss coating applied selectively to specific areas of your design — typically a logo, name or graphic element — creating a striking contrast between matte and gloss on the same card surface.
- Foil — metallic foil in gold, silver or other colours applied to selected design elements, for a luxury finish that commands attention.
What Should a Business Card Include?
A well-designed business card includes your name, job title, company name, phone number, email address, website and any relevant social media handles. Keep the design clean — let the quality of the stock and finish do the talking. Use the reverse side for your logo, a brand pattern or a key message rather than cramming everything onto one side.
Who Is It For?
Business cards are used by professionals and businesses of every kind across Brighton & Hove and the wider UK — from sole traders and freelancers to agencies, law firms, estate agents, restaurants, retailers and corporate businesses. If you meet people in a professional context, you need a business card worth handing over.
