Portfolio

At our core we are designers. We live and breathe graphic design, grid systems and typography. Bad design drives us crazy. We enjoy helping our customers present themselves in the best possible light and love hearing about their experiences when handing out their shiny new business cards. We have taken a representative sample of our work from the last few years and included them in the portfolios below. These are living portfolios. We sporadically update them as our own tastes and style develop. Enjoy.

  • Translucent Plastic Cards

    Translucent Plastic Cards (84)

    Our translucent business cards use a polymer plastic that allows light to pass through diffusely. This unique property allows for truly unique design elements such as watermarks or dual plane printing. The cards are printed by hand, one at a time, using traditional artisan methods. Each ink is applied to the plastic on separate passes. This allows us to reproduce artwork with fine detail and pixel perfect registration between colours.
     
  • Tinted Translucent Plastic Cards

    Tinted Translucent Plastic Cards (29)

    Our tinted translucent plastic cards are created by chemically laminating a plastic colour gel with a layer of translucent polymer. The surface of the card has a matt texture helping to beautifully diffuse light as it passes through. One by one, our artisan hot foil printers apply each metallic or pigment ink to the cards surface using traditional methods.
     
  • Satin Black or White Plastic Cards

    Satin Black or White Plastic Cards (28)

    Our satin plastic cards get their name from the refined matt texture of their surface. Produced using solid core polymer plastic, the unique nature of the materials surface empowers the designer to create contrasts of texture by applying glossy varnish to selected areas. To print the card we chemically etch the artwork into a metal plate. This is then used to precisely apply each ink to the plastic.
     
  • Full Colour Plastic Cards

    Full Colour Plastic Cards (36)

    Our full colour plastic cards are durable. Really durable. Unilke many mass produced plastic cards, we encapsulate the digitally printed artwork between two thick sheets of crystal clear PVC. This protects the card against wear and tear and allows us to offer a choice of a glossy or matt surface texture as well as three different thicknesses. Artwork is printed in full colour on both sides as standard.
     
  • Standard Cards

    Standard Cards (27)

    Not all business cards are alike. Our standard cards are manufactured using thick 400gsm ultra white stock and printed in full colour on both sides. Colours are vibrant, text is crisp. Matt lamination protects the surface.
     
  • Metal Cards

    Metal Cards (36)

    Available in three thicknesses, our metal business cards are carved from cosmetic grade, rolled stainless steel. Our state of the art production capabilities allow us to cut through the steel with incredible precision and to etch the metal surface with bespoke fonts and graphics. We can even alter the shape of the cards perimeter. Etched text contrasts with the unetched fine grained steel surface, ensuring legiblity.
     
  • Mini Metal Cards

    Mini Metal Cards (23)

    Produced using the same materials and production processes as their bigger brother, our mini metal cards are a quirky and more cost effective solution for people who want to make a lasting impression on potential customers. We can cut through the steel with extreme accuracy and etch into the cards surface with precision and finesse.
     
  • Coloured Metal Cards

    Coloured Metal Cards (30)

    Available in a beautiful selection of vibrant hues, our coloured metal cards are manufactured by first cutting and etching the design on to the raw cosmetic grade rolled steel. We then lower the card into a vat of tinted laquer and pass an electrical current through the steel. The current draws the laquer to the cards surface, providing a strong bond between the two and a perfectly even coating of colour.
     
  • Black Metal Cards

    Black Metal Cards (29)

    Producing a black metal card is a challenge. Unlike our coloured metal cards its not something that can be achieved by tinting standard stainless steel using electrophoretic laquer. So we scoured the planet for a supplier of high quality blackened steel. And we found one.
     
  • Stationery

    Stationery (16)

    Our letterheads are printed in full colour on laser-compatible stock by professional litho printing presses. This ensures consistently beautiful reproduction of the design and ensures a trouble free user experience with all office printers, whether inkjet or laser. We start with brilliant white 120gsm oversized paper and trim the printed letterheads to the customers choice of either US or UK standard dimensions.
