💼 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.
