When it comes to choosing between UV coated and matte finishes for business cards, we often consider not just appearance, but also functionality.
UV coating involves applying a glossy finish that provides a shiny, high-gloss appearance. This finish is typically water-resistant and durable, making it an excellent choice for those who want their cards to stand out and shine under various lighting conditions. However, the downside is that the shiny surface can be difficult to write on, which might not be ideal if you plan to add handwritten notes.
On the other hand, a matte finish offers a smooth, non-reflective surface that provides a clean modern look. One of the great advantages of matte business cards is that they can easily be written on, allowing you to personalize your cards on the go.
Painted edge business cards offer a unique way to help your card stand out and they come in a variety of colors:
- White (Not Painted)
- Black
- Blue
- Brown
- Metallic Blue
- Metallic Gold
- Metallic Green
- Metallic Hot Pink
- Metallic Orange
- Metallic Purple
- Metallic Yellow
- Orange
- Pink
- Purple
- Red
- Turquoise
- Yellow
When it comes to business cards, the most common size that you’ll find is 3.5 inches x 2 inches (Landscape or Portrait). This size convenient for storage in wallets or cardholders.
When it comes to writing on your business card, the answer depends on the specific materials and finishes you choose. For instance, if you select our Standard (Matte) option, you can easily jot down notes or signatures thanks to its smooth, write-friendly surface. However, our Standard (UV Both Sides) is not made to be written on.
In general a UV finish will be difficult to impossible to write on, so choose your material wisely and make sure to review the print material traits at checkout as they will note whether or not the material can be written on.
