Die Cut Business Cards - Overview
Die-cut business cards are printed in full color on both sides of a silk matte laminated paper stock, available in 18 pt and 32 pt thicknesses.
We can die-cut any custom shape you can imagine and even offer laser die-cutting for the more complex designs.
If you need help with a design or setting up your file correctly, our designers are happy to help create your die-files at no cost.
About the Paper Stock
What is silk matte laminated paper?
A silk matte laminated paper is a type of paper coated with a matte film that makes it durable yet smooth to the touch. The material is neither 100% shiny nor 100% matte. Even with a silky suede-like texture, you should be able to write on its surface with a permanent marker or a standard ballpoint pen.
This durable and subtly textured finish is achieved through a process called silk lamination. While it’s pretty similar to traditional lamination, it produces classier and more durable paper products.
Silk lamination creates a unique coating that protects the paper from creases, scratches, rips, stains, sun damage, and smudges. It even provides a rather high level of water resistance. That means you can wipe down a card with a damp cloth without ruining its print or the paper itself. Even when a potential client uses your card as a coaster, your contact details should remain undamaged.
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.
