Paper
Your cardstock selection affects the appearance and feel of your business cards. Review these available options before choosing your preferred finish.
16 pt. Glossy Cardstock
A thicker cardstock option with a glossy, reflective surface. It suits designs that use vivid colors, photographs or prominent graphics.
14 pt. Glossy Cardstock
A glossy cardstock option for colorful business cards with a reflective finish.
14 pt. High Gloss UV Front, Glossy Back Cardstock

14 pt. High Gloss UV Front, Uncoated Back Cardstock
Features a high-gloss UV front and an uncoated back. The uncoated side can be useful when you want a surface that is easier to write on, subject to the ink and pen used.
14 pt. High Gloss UV Cardstock
A cardstock option with a high-gloss UV finish for a reflective, attention-grabbing appearance.
14 pt. Uncoated Cardstock
A non-glossy cardstock option with a more natural paper feel. It is worth considering for simple designs and cards that may need handwritten notes.
14 pt. Matte Cardstock
A matte cardstock option with a subdued, non-reflective surface. It works well for clean, understated designs.

A silk-laminated cardstock option for a distinctive, smooth-looking finish. Confirm the specific finish characteristics and availability in the ordering configuration.
Paper selection tip: Consider your design and how recipients will use the card. Glossy and high-gloss UV surfaces create a more reflective appearance, while matte and uncoated options offer a less reflective look. The best choice depends on your preferred style and whether you need a surface for handwritten notes.
