Classic Business Card

A classic business card is a small, printed card typically measuring 3.5×2 inches that contains essential information about a person or business. It serves as a convenient and traditional way to exchange contact details and make a memorable first impression during professional networking or business interactions.

Classic business cards are typically printed on sturdy and high-quality paper or cardstock to convey a professional and durable impression. The type of paper or cardstock used and the printing methods can vary depending on individual preferences and budget considerations. Here are some common options:

Cardstock: Business cards are often printed on cardstock, which is a thicker and heavier type of paper. The standard weight for business cards is usually around  300 to350 GSM, grams per square meter. Cardstock provides durability and a substantial feel to the card.

Coated vs. Uncoated: Cardstock can be coated or uncoated. Coated cardstock has a glossy or matte finish and tends to be more vibrant in color. Uncoated cardstock has a more natural, textured feel. The choice between coated and uncoated depends on the desired look and feel of the card.

Finish: Business cards can have different finishes, such as gloss, matte, satin, or textured finishes. Glossy finishes provide a shiny appearance, while matte finishes offer a non-reflective, smooth surface. Textured finishes can add a unique tactile element to the card.

Ultimately, the choice of paper and printing method depends on factors like budget, design preferences, and the image a person or business wants to convey. Customization options are vast, allowing for a wide range of creative possibilities when designing classic business cards.
