Uncoated Business Cards
- Easy to write on
- Great for minimal designs
- Natural Paper Grain
Uncoated business cards are printed in full color on both sides of a traditional card stock.
Uncoated stocks have a smooth finish and tight grain and texture.
When compared to high gloss coated cards, your design will appear a bit softer or lighter as the natural paper absorbs more ink.
Even though we produce these with offset quality printing, it is recommended to keep your designs to minimal line art with darker colors.
Our most basic print products will complete production in 2-4 days.
Typically, ship time from our hub in Texas to an address in the USA takes 1-3 days.
In the best-case scenario, you will receive your prints in 3 days, worst-case, 7 days.
Most people come to us for our special finishing features and the ability to combine them with premium and custom paper stocks.
All custom orders have a turnaround time of 10-12 business days.
If you live in New York, transit time from our hub in Texas will likely be 3 days with ground service, so you would receive your prints 15 days from the time you have paid your invoice and approved your proof.

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 RGB)
- 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.

Ordered 250qty, 20pt Soft Touch Business cards. Followed their advice, but black is still muted in my opinion. The feeling of them is akin to what other companies call (Silk) business cards. Nice and smooth, and fingerprints don’t stay on the card.
Otherwise, the print registration is very clean (I used VECTOR graphics), the CMYK gold lines look accurate, Spot Gloss looks great and is very tight on almost all cards. The picture doesn’t represent the spot gloss at all, but I can assure you, it does it’s job.
Please understand that some of your cards will NOT be perfect, it’s just part of the process. Cut lines, spot gloss registration, etc… can be off a bit on some cards. ALWAYS order a bit extra than you need so you can cherry pick the best ones and discard the rest. It’s a necessary evil.
BUT I accidentally uploaded and authorized the WRONG files so I can’t use them. I was going to use them as backers for enamel pins. BUT I don’t know what their Spot Gloss looks like with no print behind it. I’m an idiot. Very expensive mistake. Especially when you consider, even IF they were all correct, you still have to discard some that aren’t perfectly printed and cut evenly.
My advice to noob customers, DON’T ORDER WHEN YOU’RE EXHAUSTED!!! Have someone double check your work before you send stuff out.

I love the Raised Spot UV design but did not like the blackness of the card, the background looked washed out instead of smooth black.
