Our Designs
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: Satin black plastic business card
Thickness: 760 micron
The Eyola gift card is manufactured using our satin black plastic. This has a solid black core and an unusual, luxrious surface texture. The highly reflective metallic gold ink is applied by hand using traditional techniques. We’ve placed the company contact details on the back of the plastic.
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: Letterpress Business Card
Thickness: 900gsm
This card has been debossed 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 gold 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: 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.
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 logo to add a contrast in textures.
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: 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: Letterpress Business Card
Thickness: 900gsm
Each ‘hello’ card has been debossed in our traditional letterpress printing process. We firstly etched our designer's artwork into a metal block. We then used this to embed the white 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: Satin black plastic business card
Thickness: 760 micron
Produced using solid core polymer plastic, we’ve added a beautiful metallic silver and magenta inks to the surface. All of our satin plastic cards measure 760 micron thick; exactly the same as a standard credit card.
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: Wood business card
Species: Finnish Birch
Our laser machine allows us to etch intricate graphics into the surface of the wood at an astonishing resolution of 1200dpi. The Finnish Birch offers the best contrast out of the four species of wood.
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 iiNet metal business card uses a complex combination of etching and cutting to replicate the company logo. Most of the contact details are etched on to the back of the card, leaving the front clean and uncluttered. There is no additional cost associated with double sided etching.
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 logo to add a contrast in textures.
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.
Type: Letterpress Business Card
Thickness: 900gsm
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.
Type: Letterpress Business Card
Thickness: 900gsm
Printed on our fully recyclable and biodegradable card stock each Obscura letterpress card has been pressed in our traditional hand process. The pulp used when producing the 900gsm board for our letterpress cards is sourced from managed forests.
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.
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.
