Here we showcase our favourite cards from the last 30 days, each the result of our free design service.
No two people or businesses are alike. We've created artwork for tens of thousands of customers and have never come across two organisations whose requirements are identical. We don’t rely on templates. Instead, we believe that the development of the artwork should be a collaborative, creative process that is given the time and attention it deserves. It’s the only way to ensure that the business card is as unique as the person handing it out.
Type: Translucent plastic business card
Thickness: 760 micron
The Suarez Heating & Plumbing business card is crafted using our translucent plastic. Measuring 760 micron thick, it’s the same thickness as a standard credit card. We’ve used a combination of the reflective blue and copper metallic inks and a strong, vivid pigment black ink to apply the design to the cards surface.
Type: Satin black plastic business card
Thickness: 760 micron
The Eyola gift card is manufactured using our satin black plastic. This has a solid black core and an unusual, luxrious surface texture. The highly reflective metallic gold ink is applied by hand using traditional techniques. We’ve placed the company contact details on the back of the plastic.

Thickness: 300 micron
The iiNet metal business card uses a complex combination of etching and cutting to replicate the company logo. Most of the contact details are etched on to the back of the card, leaving the front clean and uncluttered. There is no additional cost associated with double sided etching.
Type: Gold Metal Business Card
Thickness: 400 micron
Goldcrest’s metal business card is 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.

Type: Matt Laminate Card
Thickness: 400gsm
We exclusively designed this logo to compliment Mark's cider bottles as part of our free design service. The logo has then been printed on our 400gsm ultra white stock.

Want to see what our designers can do for you?
We provide a completely free design service to customers who don't already have print ready artwork. Once we have collected a few pieces of information our design team puts together an initial concept and first draft. We then generate a photo-realistic digital mockup using our innovative proofing system. This shows exactly how the card would look once produced. Then, using your feedback, we make revisions until you are 100% happy with the layout. To request your design simply click 'get started now'. You'll be then be guided through the process and given the opportunity to express your design preferences and requirements. You’ll also be able to upload an existing logo. We'll then send you a digital proof.
