FAQs
Express business cards are printed on 130# coverstock (uncoated, satin, or gloss) and offer a quick or even next-day turnaround time.
Specialty business cards offer endless options for unique, memorable branding with premium materials, custom shapes (like square or rounded corners), unique finishes (foil, spot UV, soft-touch), and tactile effects, often taking longer but creating a stronger physical impression.
Silk and Suede finish cards are both matte finishes, but they are also quite different. Our silk lamination is a smooth matte finish, while our suede lamination is more of a soft-touch matte finish with a velvety texture.
- Suede lamination gives your cards a richer texture when in hand, and silk lamination is a classic smooth feeling.
- Suede lamination on dark prints can result in seeing some fingerprints when held.
- Silk lamination is our signature finish, and is also our standard finish on paper products.
All of our uncoated paper stocks can be written on in pen. This includes our uncoated, cotton, and linen stocks. Because these stocks are more absorbent, pen stays on the stock, but markers such as sharpies can bleed. Our coated paper stocks can also be written on with a few limitations. This includes our silk and suede stocks. These can be written on in a ballpoint pen or sharpie if given a few seconds to dry.
