Types of Business Cards

Standard Business Cards

Standard business cards are good quality with no cello finish and are 350gsm – these are the cheapest card stock.

Celloglaze Laminated Business Cards (most popular)

Gloss Cello Finish – A high gloss cello laminate finish which is shiny.
Matt Cello Finish – A matt cello laminate finish with a nice silk feel to the touch.

Both these come in 310gsm, 350gsm and 400gsm.

We can also produce double sized business cards which are twice the size of regular business cards and are folded in half and scored. Ideal for promos etc. We also design and print custom sized business cards and if interested in these, please contact us for a quote.
