Business Card Finishes
There are three basic finishes when it comes to business cards. Read our guide to card finishes below, but remember: Suitability depends on your choice of color and design and on the unique personality of your business.
Plain Finish
Plain finish has no gloss and the feel of smooth, high quality paper. While it is a popular finish in some industries and the easiest to write on for a quick quote etc, it can be less eye-catching than some of the other finishes. Its suitability would depend on your needs.Hint: Plain cards are popular with finance companies, universities or psychologists. They usually consist of a small version of the logo on a white background and tend to portray an image that signifies institution and tradition.
Gloss Finish
Gloss Finish has an almost reflective sheen, perfect for those in business wanting to make an impression of enthusiasm and energy! Hint: Gloss finish has two functions. It is perfect for protecting your card from dirt, humidity and water and is ideal for those who work in environments where their card can be easily damaged (carpenter, cleaner, etc). Gloss also tends to be popular with companies in the entertainment or production industry such as fashion houses, marketing companies, boutique food and beverage companies or fitness clubs.
Matt Finish
Matt Finish is for those who like a smooth texture. It has a sheen but isn't as reflective as Gloss. It has a luxurious feel. This is a very professional card and gives a great first impression.Hint: Matt finish tends to indicate modernism, progress and energy, but also suggests long-standing and significance. This card is popular with professional services, event co-ordinators, corporations and trade stores etc
