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: Letterpress Business Card
Thickness: 900gsm
Each Eyewear Styling letterpress card has been pressed in our traditional hand process. This ensures the ink is gently pressed into the surface meaning the ink won’e wipe away over time. The pulp used when producing the 900gsm board for our letterpress cards is sourced from managed forests.
Type: Satin plastic business card
Thickness: 760 micron
Each satin business card comes with a luxurious matt finish to its surface. Many of our competitors have chosen to automate the printing process. To do so, the blank plastic card has to be gripped on at least two sides as it passes through their automated printing equipment. This prevents them from printing to the edge of the card. Our choice to avoid automation means we can run rings around the limitations of more automated suppliers, including printing to the very edge if required.

Thickness: 400 micron
All of the text and logo on this stainless steel had has been etched into the cards surface, exposing the lighter core of the steel and ensuring great legibility and durability as there is no surface print to be rubbed away over time.
Type: Black metal business card
Thickness: 400 micron
The logo and text 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.

Using our optional foiling process we have then carefully laid a striking metallic gold ink onto each card for the logo.

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.
