Visiting Card Guide: Choose the Right Paper & Finish

💼 Visiting Card Guide: Paper, Finish & Pro Tips

Pick a card that matches your brand personality—and lasts.

📄 Paper Stocks (Feel & Durability)

  • Standard Premium (300–350 GSM): Balanced thickness for everyday business use.
  • Extra Thick (400+ GSM): Rigid, luxury feel, great for high-end brands.
  • Textured Papers: Linen, laid, kraft—adds tactile character.

✨ Finishes (Look & Protection)

  • Matte Lamination: Non-reflective, elegant; ideal for minimal designs.
  • Gloss Lamination: Shiny & vibrant; great for colorful graphics.
  • Velvet (Soft-Touch): Premium, buttery feel; memorable first impression.
  • Foil (Gold/Silver): Luxury highlight on logos or names.
  • Emboss/Deboss: Raised or pressed text for tactile branding.
  • Spot UV: Gloss accents over matte—logos/patterns pop.

🎯 Layout Essentials

  • Use a clear hierarchy: Name → Role → Contact → Website.
  • Keep fonts 8–10 pt minimum; avoid clutter.
  • Add QR to website, catalog, or WhatsApp.

🔧 Pro Tip from RRahi Print Shop

If your design is minimal, try matte/velvet + spot UV. For vibrant artwork, pick gloss. Luxury brands love foil + thick stock.
