10 Types of Business Cards That Make LA Entrepreneurs Unforgettable

In Los Angeles, first impressions are everything. Your business card is often the first physical representation of your brand that a potential client or partner holds in their hands. Here are the 10 types of business cards PrintLocker prints for LA entrepreneurs — and when to use each one.

1. Standard Business Cards

The classic. Clean, professional, and budget-friendly. Best for high-volume networking where you’re handing out hundreds of cards at industry events. Available in gloss, matte, and silk finishes.

2. Foil Business Cards

Gold or silver foil accents that catch the light. Perfect for luxury brands, real estate agents, and financial services professionals. The foil adds a tactile premium feel that people comment on.

3. Spot UV Business Cards

A clear, high-gloss coating applied selectively to parts of your card — usually your logo or key text — while the rest remains matte. Creates a sophisticated contrast that looks and feels expensive.

4. Raised Foil Business Cards

Foil that’s also embossed, creating a three-dimensional texture. The top tier of business card luxury. Popular with jewelry designers, architects, and entertainment executives.

5. Velvet Laminate Business Cards

A soft-touch matte finish that feels like velvet. People don’t put these down. Excellent for creative professionals, fashion brands, and anyone who wants their card to be remembered.

6. Rounded Corner Business Cards

A simple design detail that makes your card feel more contemporary and approachable. Popular with tech startups, coaches, and lifestyle brands.

7. Die-Cut Business Cards

Custom shapes that go beyond the standard rectangle. A guitar pick for a musician. A house for a realtor. A coffee cup for a cafe. Die-cut cards are conversation starters.

8. Transparent/Clear Business Cards

Printed on translucent plastic or clear PVC. Striking and unexpected. A favorite for photographers, designers, and tech companies.

9. Double-Sided Business Cards

Use both sides strategically — your contact info on the front, a service menu or QR code on the back. Doubles the value of your card real estate.

10. Square Business Cards

The Instagram-era business card. Square format feels modern and stands out in a business card holder. Popular with photographers, social media marketers, and lifestyle brands.
