Send print-ready artwork at the finished size plus 1/8" (3 mm) bleed on every side, in CMYK at 300 dpi, with fonts outlined or embedded. PDF is preferred. Keep text and logos at least 1/8" inside the trim line.
Not sure your file is ready? Upload it anyway: we check every file before printing and send a proof for your approval. See our design guide for details, or tick "I need help with the design" in the form.
How thick are Soft Touch Business Cards compared to standard cards?
At 19pt total thickness, Soft Touch Business Cards are significantly sturdier than standard 14pt or 16pt cards. This added weight and rigidity contribute to their luxurious presence and professional impact.
Are specialty finishes available with Soft Touch Business Cards?
Absolutely. Soft Touch cards can be enhanced with spot UV, foil stamping, or embossing to highlight key design elements such as your logo, name, or iconography—creating a powerful tactile and visual contrast.
Can Soft Touch Business Cards be printed on both sides?
Yes. These cards feature full-color CMYK printing on one or both sides, maintaining vivid, accurate colors while preserving the matte elegance of the soft-touch finish.
How thick are Soft Touch Business Cards?
They’re printed on 16pt cardstock and laminated to a 19pt thickness. That means they’re thicker and sturdier than standard cards, giving them a solid, premium feel.
Are Soft Touch Business Cards durable?
Yes! The soft-touch lamination protects against scratches, fingerprints, and smudges, keeping your cards clean and professional even after frequent handling.
Can Soft Touch Business Cards have rounded corners?
Yes. Rounded corners add a refined touch and prevent edges from bending, helping your cards stay neat and attractive longer.
Can you print business cards on both sides?
Yes, we offer both 4/0 Full Color Front and 4/4 Full Color on both sides printing options for business cards.
Will my design appear the same on all types of paper?
No, it won't. Various paper types absorb ink differently, which can change how your design looks when printed. When choosing your paper, think about whether your design is mostly dark or light, if it has lots of color or simple lines and text. Then, choose the paper that matches your design and overall style best.
Can a business card with rounded corners fit in a wallet, pocket, or business card case?
Absolutely! Even though we've rounded the corners, the card remains a standard size – 2" x 3.5". It fits just like the regular cards you're used to, neither larger nor smaller.
