Cotton Business Cards - Overview
Cotton Business Cards are printed in Full-Color on a triple-thick 50 pt 100% Uncoated Natural Cotton card stock.
Our cotton card stock is very similar in character to the infamous crane lettra stock, designed specifically for letterpress printing.
Enhance your cotton card with foil, debossing, colored edges, die-cutting. Available in standard 2″ x 3.5″ and square 2.5″ x 2.5″ sizes.
Add blind deboss to enhance your cotton business cards even further.
About the Paper Stock
The 50 pt uncoated paper has a very characterful texture with a very dramatic grain and exposed paper fibers. This stock does not have a perfectly uniform surface – which is part of its charm.
However, due to the uneven surface, it is not ideal for designs with a full ink coverage background – in particular, dark colors like black.
Because the natural cotton stock is soft, super thick, and mega-fibrous it is extremely absorbent. So please understand that all printed areas will experience a color-shift and appear somewhat faded or lighter.
But not to fear, this desaturation and ink absorption is what gives this stock its luxurious character and charm.
Artwork Guidelines
- Bleeds: all files must have a 1/8″ bleed on each side
- Live Area: keep all critical text and artwork inside the trim
- Colors: supply your files in CMYK color mode (not Pantone)
- Resolution: 300 dpi
- Fonts: fonts must be converted to curves/outlines
- Transparencies: flatten all transparencies
- File Types: PDF, EPS, TIFF or JPEG
Special Finish Guidelines
If your project includes foil stamping, spot UV, embossing, or die cutting you will need to provide a mask file (per finish) alongside your design files.
- Create a black and white pdf file where all black areas have a color value of K = 100% (C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100)
- Black areas represent where you want the finish to be located and white means no finish will be applied.
- If your project contains more than one finish, you must provide separate mask files for each finish.

After receiving a quote from a competitor, I began my search for a new company and that’s when I found Print Peppermint. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the team was extremely helpful, down to earth, and attentive. Before placing what was a large order, I received sample packs of their business cards. They were perfect and I had no qualms with their productions or creations. So I placed my order. The cards I ordered were 32 point duplex cards. Soft touch finish on side A and watercolor paper on side B. They were digitally printed on side B, with spot UV, and gold leaf on side A. They are complicated but beautifully understated. I am beyond in love with them and they have been a large hit! *The colors are off in the photo. they are a leafy, green color, not teal.
