Each of our bespoke wooden business cards is carved using CO2 laser-milling machines. We can then laser engrave the text and graphics into the surface of the venner at an astonishing resolution of 1200dpi.

Type: Satin black plastic business card

Thickness: 760 micron 

Designed and crafted for Kennedys, this business card is produced using our satin black plastic. The text, logo and graphical detailing are printed using a chrome-like metallic silver ink. The handcrafted nature of our printing process allows for complex alignment and bleeds. This is demonstrated here by the intricate design running across the top quarter of the card and bleeding off of three edges.

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 resulting in a truly unique finish. 

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: 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: 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: 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: 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. The outer stars have been fully cut through the steel to provide an extra visual interest and add contrast between the two areas.

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: Satin plastic business card

Thickness: 760 micron 

The Amarist business card, crafted from our satin black plastic, utilises two inks; a pigment white and an eyecatching metallic copper. The majority of the contact details have been printed on to the back of the card, allowing for a clean, contemporary look. 

Type: Tinted translucent business card

Thickness: 760 micron

For the Great North Firewood card we’ve applied a chrome-like metallic silver and metallic copper ink. 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 card’s surface using traditional methods.

Type: Full Colour Plastic Card

Our full colour plastic business cards are particularly suited to photographic images and graphics that include gradients. The digital printing presses use a conventional CMYK reproduction process, capable of a wide colour gamut. 

Type: Full colour plastic business cards

Thickness: 760 micron

The printed artwork is sandwiched between two crystal clear sheets of sturdy PVC. Heat is applied to ensure a good bond between the artwork and protective coating. The gloss or matt finish is added to the outside surface of the PVC by using either polished of sandblasted metal plates respectively.

Type: Letterpress Business Card

Thickness: 900gsm 

This card has been pressed in our traditional letterpress printing process. We firstly etched our designer's artwork into a metal block. We then used this to embed the metallic copper ink, one at a time, into the surface of the custom coloured card stock. The result is a uniquely visual and tactile finish unlike that found in any other sort of production technique.

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.

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.
