Our Designs
Type: Wood business card
Species: Finnish Birch
This card demonstrates the beautiful contrast between the darker etched artwork into the lighter shade wood. Our 1200dpi laser machine allows for intricate detailing within the graphics to be replicated into the final etch.
Type: Letterpress Business Card
Thickness: 900gsm
The front of the card has been pressed using our metallic holoprint foil. We have also gilded the edge of these cards. This highly specialised printing technique involves applying a reflective foil to the edge of the business card adding that extra touch of elegance. We offer edge gilding in silver, traditional gold, rose gold and holographic foil (shown in this example).
Type: Translucent plastic business card
Thickness: 760 micron
Using our 760 micron thick translucent plastic, this card combines our eye catching metallic light green and silver inks. We have also used a black gloss ink to emphasise the company name. The graphics have been reproduced by pressing the inks between our metal print plates and the plastic. Using heat and pressure this hand printing process carefully stamps each colour onto the surface of the card.
Type: Wood business card
Species: Finnish Birch
Our laser machine allows us to etch intricate graphics into the surface of the wood at an astonishing resolution of 1200dpi. The Finnish Birch offers the best contrast out of the four species of wood.
Type: Matt Laminate Card
Thickness: 400gsm
Our matt laminate cards are printed on 350gsm ultra white stock. Both sides are printed in full colour as standard. We then apply an ultra-thin layer of matt protective finish plastic to the front and back surfaces. Colours are vibrant; text is crisp. This card has also had an optional UV spot gloss applied to the logo to add a contrast in textures.
Type: Tinted translucent plastic card
Thickness: 760 micron
Our tinted translucent plastic cards are created by chemically laminating a plastic colour gel with a layer of translucent polymer. Our artisan hot foil printers apply the ink to the cards surface using traditional methods.
Type: Translucent plastic business card
Thickness: 760 micron
The OK Media business card showcases our ability to print to the very edge of all four sides of the card. Most automated processes rely on clamping the card in place while being printed, ruling out designs that bleed off the edge of the card. The bespoke, handcrafted nature of our printing process does away with clamps, allowing us to reproduce designs like this one.
Type: Letterpress Business Card
Thickness: 900gsm
Each letterpress card is painstakingly handcrafted using traditional artisanal techniques. We first etch the artwork into a metal block. We then use this to gently embed each ink, one at a time, into the surface of the stock. This gives a uniquely visual and tactile interest to the business card quite unlike that found in any other sort of production technique.
Type: Wood business card
Species: Finnish Birch
To guarantee the robust structural integrity of our cards, we employ a meticulous three-layer construction. The outer surfaces boast authentic wood veneer, lending an elegant and natural touch. Meanwhile, the core is reinforced with high-density fiberboard, effectively eliminating any vulnerability along the grain. This fortification not only enhances durability but also empowers us to craft intricate patterns with unwavering confidence in their resilience.
Type: Satin black plastic business card
Thickness: 760 micron
The AM Prestige business card, crafted using our luxurious satin black plastic, demonstrates our ability to reproduce highly detailed graphics using metallic inks. The plastic is the same thickness as a standard credit card and has a black core. The cardholders contact details are printed on the reverse of the card, allowing for a clean, contemporary design.
Type: Black metal business card
Thickness: 200 micron
This card is manufactured using our black stainless steel. The pattern has been etched into the surface of the steel using our chemical milling process.
Type: Translucent plastic business card
Thickness: 760 micron
Using our 760 micron thick, translucent bio plastic, this card combines our eye catching metallic silver and green inks. A transparent gloss ink has been pressed onto the back of the plastic to provide a level of depth to the design. Using heat and pressure this hand printing process carefully stamps each colour onto the surface of the card, resulting in a stunning registration.
Type: Acrylic business card
As well as laser etching and cutting, we hand print contact details and spot-colour logos onto the Perspex® using a range of vegetable-based pigment and metallic inks. This examples demonstrates our fluorescent lava orange acrylic that has been custom shaped by laser. Our artisan printers have then hot foiled black ink onto the card’s surface.
Type: Translucent plastic business card
Thickness: 760 micron
Using our 760 micron thick translucent plastic, this card combines our eye catching metallic orange and black gloss inks. The graphics have been reproduced by pressing the inks between our metal print plates and the plastic.

Type: Black metal business card
Thickness: 300 micron
The logo on this card is chemically milled away from the surface. Once the matt finish has been etched away the lighter steel beneath is exposed, ensuring perfect contrast and legibility. The cut-throughs are achieved by etching into the same position on the front and back of the stainless steel, until the two areas meet, forming a hole.
Type: Wood business card
Species: Bamboo
Carved using a state of the art CO2 laser-milling machine, Adam Fox's card combines an intricately etched design with the natural beauty of wood. At 3mm thick, the bamboo's structural integrity remains solid even with the addition of some laser cut throughs at the top of the card.
Type: Acrylic business card
As well as laser etching and cutting, we hand print contact details and spot-colour logos onto the Perspex® using a range of vegetable-based pigment and metallic inks. This examples demonstrates our metallic holoprint (diffraction) ink which behaves very much like to back of the cd as it splits white light hitting the surface into the colours of the spectrum.

Type: Letterpress Business Card
Thickness: 900gsm
Each 'Woodworker' card has been painstakingly handcrafted using our traditional letterpress technique. We first etch the artwork into a metal block.

This gives a uniquely visual and tactile interest to the business card quite unlike that found in any other sort of production technique.
Type: Gold Metal Business Card
Thickness: 300 micron
Our gold metal cards are produced using polished, rolled bronze. The card has a degree of memory, allowing it to spring back to shape when lightly flexed. Moreover, because we apply a protective oleophobic coating, everyday use will not cause it to tarnish or corrode.
