Type: Gun Metal business card

We created a striking Aston Martin gun metal business card, meticulously crafted from 800-micron stainless steel featuring a luxurious brushed finish.

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: Satin white plastic business card

Thickness: 760 micron 

The Big Mo's Club business card has been crafted using our luxurious satin white plastic and 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 white core to match the surface colour.

Type: Letterpress Business Card

Thickness: 900gsm

This highly specialised printing technique involves applying a reflective foil to the edge of your letterpress business cards adding that extra touch of elegance. We offer edge gilding in silver, traditional gold, rose gold and even holographic foil (shown in this examples). The front of the card has been debossed using a gloss black ink and metallic holoprint foil.

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 face to add a contrast in textures.

Type: Gold Metal Business Card

Thickness: 400 micron 

Our rose gold metal cards are produced using polished bronze. The 400 micron thick metal means we can cut intricate perforations without the risk of fragility. The card also has a degree of memory, allowing it to spring back to shape when lightly flexed.

Type: Translucent plastic business card

Thickness: 760 micron

As well as being both biodegradable and compostable, the plastic remains as recyclable as conventional plastics. The polymer is designed to degrade within 36 months. The translucent nature of the plastic means that text and graphics printed on its back can be viewed from the front. This allows us to create compelling visual effects with rear side printing appearing to sit behind graphics and text printed on the front face.

Type: Matt Laminate Card

Thickness: 400gsm

The background image on this card has been digitally printed on our 400gsm ultra white stock. We applied a thin layer of matt finish plastic to the front and back surfaces. This matt lamination gives the card a unique texture while offering protection against discolouration and fading. Using our optional foiling process we have then carefully laid a striking metallic gold ink onto each card for the logo.

Type: Metal business card

Thickness: 300 micron 

The Cirkus metal card is carved from marine grade stainless steel. Part of the logo has been etched into the surface of the metal exposing the lighter core of the steel.

Type: Wood business card

Species: Black Walnut

Crafted using our CO2 laser milling process, this card demonstrates the extraordinary accuracy and power of the laser as we have been able to cut away a decorative jungle pattern. The logo has then been etched into the surface of the card at a resolution of 1200dpi. The result is an eye catching card that sits perfectly alongside this company's branding.

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.

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. 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: American Cherry

With the ability to cut intricate patterns on our wood cards without the fear of fragility, this card combines both the natural beauty of the American Cherry wood as well as an interesting nature inspired design. On the reverse side of the card we then laser engraved the contact information into the surface of the wood at an astonishing resolution of 1200dpi. 

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: 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: 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.

Using our Metallic Gold ink, heat and pressure, we have carefully hand pressed the artwork onto our textured 900gsm black card stock. The use of only one colour creates a very simplistic yet exclusive finish which compliments the logo nicely.

Thickness: 400 micron 

This metal business card, produced for Dymax, is carved from cosmetic grade stainless steel.
