Finishing options to make your business cards stand out

Your business cards are a very important part of your business stationary and allow you to make a good first impression. A quirky and well designed business card can allow you to stand out from the crowd and be noticed as well as making you memorable. Business cards used to just be a rectangular piece of card with your contact details and the business logo but the business cards that are available today have a lot more to offer when it comes to design. Your business card is a representation of yourself and your business that you give to other people, therefore you need to make sure that you use all the tools available to get the very best out of your business cards as possible.

Print finishes are now a a major part of making your business cards extra special and is one of the best methods of making sure that you enhance the design of your business card. We are going to discuss 5 different ways in which you can print finish your business cards to make them really stand out head and shoulders above the rest.

Emboss and Deboss

The visual effect created by embossing is created by heat being pressed in to the card paper without any use of ink or foil. Embossing gives a feel of texture to the business card and in some cases can offer a 3D visual effect which can be really eye catching when applied to a business card.

The opposite effect of embossing is debossing. This is done by depressing the print and gives the same feel as embossing but alternatively the paper is pressed in instead of popping out. Debossing can also provide your business card with a 3D visual effect .

Fold

The folding of business cards allows you to have more space to provide the relevant information but also gives the business card a quirky feel and the method of folding can be implied cleverly to make sure that the business card is unique to your business.

Foil Bloquing

Foil Bloquing is the method of pressing a coloured foil in to the business card with a heated die and is mostly used for enhancing typography and logos. Foil bloquing gives your business card a nice texture as well as being visually attractive.

Cut Die

Die cutting is becoming a very popular method when it comes to the design of business cards. The fact that business cards aren't seen as having to be rectangular anymore, the creativity of those designing business cards are proving that business cards can be any shape and can be shaped according to the needs of the business. Die cutting is the simple process of cutting the card in to different shapes and allows you to see beyond the business card and to give it a shape that us unique and can make your business stand out.

Varnish and Spot UV

Varnish and Spot UV is the most common method used to finish business cards and today most business cards that are printed in any graphic environment already include a varnish feel instead of the old paper feel that was used on business cards. A varnish finish gives the business card more durability and protects the paper meaning that it lasts longer as well as improving the feel and visual effect of the business card. A varnish finish gives the business card a plastic feel to it and gives the business card a shiny effect.

Spot UV is where an ultra violet varnish is applied to certain areas of the card to make the colour appear richer and to make it shine as well as having the varnished coating feel to the business card.
