Plastic Business Cards
Translucent Plastic
Our biodegradable translucent business cards use a polymer plastic that allows light to pass through diffusely. This unique property allows for truly unique design elements such as watermarks or dual plane printing. The cards are printed by hand using traditional artisan methods. Each ink is applied to the plastic on separate passes. This allows us to reproduce artwork with fine detail and perfect registration between colours.
Satin Plastic
Our satin plastic cards get their name from the refined matt texture of their surface. Produced using solid core polymer plastic, the unique nature of the materials surface empowers the designer to create contrasts of texture by applying glossy varnish to selected areas. We add the beautiful metallic inks by hand, one by one, using traditional artisanal techniques.
Tinted Translucent Plastic
Our tinted translucent plastic cards are created by chemically laminating a plastic colour gel with a layer of translucent polymer. The surface of the card has a matt texture helping to beautifully diffuse light as it passes through. One by one, our artisan hot foil printers apply each metallic or pigment ink to the cards surface using traditional methods.
Full Colour Plastic
Unlike many mass produced plastic cards, we encapsulate the digitally printed artwork between two thick sheets of crystal clear PVC. This protects the card against wear and tear and allows us to offer a choice of a glossy or matt surface texture as well as three different thicknesses. Artwork is printed in full colour on both sides as standard. Biodegradable options are available upon request.
Metal Business Cards
Original Metal
Available in three thicknesses, our original metal business cards are carved from cosmetic grade, rolled stainless steel. Our state of the art production capabilities allow us to cut through the steel with incredible precision and to etch the metal surface with bespoke fonts and graphics. We can even alter the shape of the cards perimeter. Etched text contrasts with the unetched fine grained steel surface, ensuring legiblity.
Mini Metal
Produced using the same materials and production processes as their bigger brother, our mini metal cards are a quirky and more cost effective solution for people who want to make a lasting impression on potential customers. We can cut through the steel with extreme accuracy and etch into the cards surface with precision and finesse. Want a mini metal card with an unorthodox shape? No problem. We can do that too.
Gold Metal
Available in your choice of traditional yellow or rose hues, our gold metal cards are produced using stainless steel. We then use autocatalytic plating to give the steel a durable gold or rose gold hue. Now available in two thicknesses, you can choose a 300 micron card which has memory, allowing it to spring back to shape when lightly flexed. Alternatively, choose the 500 micron metal for a rigid, weighty card that is sure to garner attention.
Copper Metal
Our copper-hued metal cards have a sophisticated brushed surface finish and are available in three thicknesses. Not only can we cut through the metal, but we can also alter the shape of the card itself by cutting away material from the perimeter. Moreover, as long as the desired shape fits within the dimensions of a standard card, there is no additional charge.
Black Metal
Our matt black metal business cards are truly exquisite. We chemically mill the perimeter of the card and cut away design elements with incredible precision. Next, a tough, matt black anodised coating is applied. We then laser etch the text and graphics into the surface, bringing your design to life. Our black metal cards are available in your choice of 200, 300 or 400-micron marine-grade steel.
Gun Metal
Each gun metal card is laser cut from a sheet of darkened steel, chemically etched and brushed by hand.. Now available in three thicknesses, you can choose a 300 micron card which has memory, allowing it to spring back to shape when lightly flexed. Alternatively, the 800 micron metal makes for a rigid, weighty card that is sure to garner attention. The 500 micron variant is a great compromise between weight and rigidity.
Laser carved Business Cards
wood cards
Sourced from managed forests, each one of our wooden business cards is carved using state of the art CO2 laser-milling machines. We then laser engrave all text and artwork into the surface of the card at an astonishing resolution of 1200dpi. 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. This eliminates any weakness along the grain of the wood and allows us to laser cut intricate patterns without fear of fragility.
Acrylic Cards
Each of our acrylic cards are made from genuine Perspex® and sculpted using a high power CO2 laser. This not only enables us to alter the shape of the card’s perimeter, but also to cut away intricate repeating patterns and graphics. Once carved, we then print each card by hand using traditional artisanal techniques.
We have a range of vegetable-based pigment and stunning metallic inks. Our curation of colours are vibrant and highly reflective.
Paper Business Cards
Letterpress
Printed by hand using traditional artisan techniques, there’s no automation and no compromise, just good old fashioned hard work. Each ink is gently embedded into the subtly textured surface. A seam of colour runs through the centre of the triple ply card, adding a unique finishing touch. We now also offer the option of spectacular gilded edges.
Standard
Our matt laminated business cards feel luxurious. We start with a thick 350gsm ultra white stock. Both sides are printed in full colour as standard. We then apply an ultra 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.
