Business cards printed on 12 point thick desert storm uncoated kraft card stock evoke an organic and earthy look and feel. This card stock is made of 100% recycled post-consumer content and digitally printed in full color with optional white ink as fast as the next business day.
Digital printing is a great choice for small quantities and fast business card orders with quantities starting at just 10 business cards. You can print up to 10 different types of cards on the same order so this is a great way to get business cards for everyone in the office.
Adding optional rounded corners is a wonderful way to create a more unique business card and you can round 1, 2 , 3 or all 4 corners on your cards.
At Clubcard Printing, we want you to be 100% happy with your business cards so when you place your order, we encourage you to choose a PDF layout proof or a color press printed proof so you can see exactly how your artwork will look and feel on this card stock before you commit to printing your entire order of business cards.
Custom sized business cards are available: Order a size that will fit your custom trim size and upload files at the custom size and be sure indicate this in your order notes so our production team is aware!
If you are concerned about color, be sure to request a printed proof for this product. This gives you a chance to see how the colors and finish turn out before we print your project.
Sometimes gradients aren't as smooth in print as they are on screen. Request a printed proof when placing your order, so you can see first hand how it will turn out prior to production.
The paper stock is a little bit grainier than other stocks, so if you are looking for very sharp text, this might not be the best paper stock for that or graphics that require razer sharp edges.
Unlike offset, we recommend using a 100% K build for black, and black only values for greys. This ensures the crispest edges and a neutral grey.
As with all digital printing, we use a dry polymer based toner, which sits on top of the stock instead of soaking into the stock like a traditional ink. So using full/heavy coverage will cause the stock to look slightly shinny and will give a similar appear to a coated stock. We recommend the uncoated stock for artwork that uses minimal ink coverage and allow the stock to show through. If using solid fills and heavy coverage, the C2S is probably going to be a better option.
Compared to an uncoated stock that is printed using wet inks, the printed areas can appear a bit shiny or coated depending on the coverage. This is becuase the toner is fused to the surface of the stock and is not absorbed like ink. We recommend requesting a proof if customers are unsure about this appearance.
Depending on artwork, it may print better on Uncoated, or Coated stocks. For artwork with a lot of white or empty space, we would generally recommend an uncoated stock. For artwork with full and/or heavy coverage, we will recommend a coated stock (C2S). For artwork with heavy coverage on one side, and a lot of white space on the other, we would recommend a coated 1 side stock (C1S).
For great blue results, we recommend a 30% difference between your Cyan and Magenta levels to ensure a nice rich dark blue, rather than purple.
It is common to see "frayed / rough edges" on uncoated stocks, especially with ink coverage that exteds to the edg of the cards, when a stock is not coated the fibres can break loose when trimmed. Choosing a coated or laminated card will help avoid this issue.
