What are C1S Writable Business Cards and why are they ideal for professional use?
C1S Writable Business Cards are printed on 18pt C1S (Coated One Side) stock — featuring a glossy, vibrant front and an uncoated writable back. This combination makes them perfect for businesses that need both premium presentation and practical functionality, such as appointment cards, loyalty cards, or custom note cards.
Can C1S Writable Business Cards be printed double-sided?
Yes. You can print in full color (CMYK) on one or both sides. The front is coated for vivid graphics, while the back remains uncoated and writable — ideal for adding notes, discount codes, or appointment times.
What customization options are available for C1S Writable Business Cards?
You can choose standard or custom sizes, rounded corners for a softer finish, and single- or double-sided printing. Our design team can also assist in creating layouts optimized for writing areas and branding consistency.
Can I write on these business cards easily?
Yes! The uncoated side of the card is designed for writing with any pen or pencil. It’s great for jotting down quick messages or personalizing your cards for customers.
Are C1S Writable Business Cards printed on thick paper?
Yes, they’re printed on sturdy 18pt cardstock. This heavier paper gives your cards a premium feel and ensures they hold up well over time.
Can I choose rounded corners for my C1S Writable Business Cards?
Yes. Rounded corners add a sleek, modern look and prevent the edges from bending — making your cards last longer and look even more refined.
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.
