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.

OK Media

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.

The Steak Ranch

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.

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.

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.
