Our Designs
Type: Black metal business card
Thickness: 300 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.
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 fluorescent lava orange acrylic that has been custom shaped by laser. Our artisan printers have then hot foiled black ink onto the card’s surface.
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.
Type: Black metal business card
Thickness: 200 micron
This card is manufactured using our black stainless steel. The pattern has been etched into the surface of the steel using our chemical milling process.

Type: Metal business card
Thickness: 400 micron
Made Holdings metal business card is manufactured using 400 micron thick stainless steel. While the material itself is thinner than a standard plastic credit card, the use of steel provides much more rigidity and heft. If held between the thumb and forefinger, it’s not possible to flex our 400 micron steel business cards.
Type: Wood business card

To ensure the structural integrity of the card, we use three layers. The outer facing surfaces comprise of real wood veneer. The core is strengthened using a high-density fibreboard, eliminating any weakness along the grain.

This business card, crafted for Bamford Watch Department, is an example of our satin black plastic. Produced using solid core polymer plastic, we’ve added a beautiful metallic silver ink to the surface. All of our satin plastic cards measure 760 micron thick; exactly the same as a standard credit card.
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.
Type: Wood business card
Species: Finnish Birch
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.
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.
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.

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.
