Paper Details
14pt uncoated (no coating, no lamination). Bright white color with natural paper texture. Ink absorbs into the fibers, creating softer color reproduction than coated stocks. Not as vivid as matte or glossy — by design.
The natural surface accepts pen, pencil, and marker, making it practical for handwritten notes, appointment times, and personal messages. Less durable than laminated stocks — can absorb moisture and is more susceptible to wear.

- Accepted formats: PDF, AI, PSD, EPS (CMYK, 300dpi, with bleed)

About Uncoated Business Cards
Uncoated paper is the oldest and most honest of all card finishes. There's no coating between your fingers and the paper — you feel the fibers, the texture, the weight. It reads as warm, approachable, and personal. It's the card that says 'I thought about this' rather than 'I printed this.'
The writable surface is the practical differentiator. A therapist who writes the next appointment time on the back. A real estate agent who jots a listing address. A freelancer who adds a personal note. These small handwritten touches aren't possible on matte, glossy, silk, or soft touch — the coatings repel ink.
For a thicker, more premium uncoated card, see our 32pt Uncoated in the Extra Thick hub — same paper character, twice the weight.
