Product Details
If your brand is bold, colorful or built around images, a glossy coating is the best way to show it off. The shiny surface reflects light, deepening blacks and making reds, blues and greens look vivid. Packwhole prints custom glossy business cards for photographers, real estate agents, restaurants, salons and anyone who wants their card to shine.
– Photo-heavy designs: headshots, property photos, food shots and portfolios. – Bright brand colors: saturated colors look their strongest on gloss. – Retail and hospitality: cards that sit on counters and need to catch the eye. – Extra protection: the coating helps resist light moisture and scuffs.
| Feature | Options | |—|—| | Coating | High gloss on one or both sides | | Stock | Standard or thick card stock | | Sizes | 3.5 x 2 in standard, square, mini | | Corners | Square or rounded | | Extras | Spot UV, foil accents |
1. Supply sharp photos saved at 300 dpi or more at the final card size. 2. Set your file to CMYK to keep colors predictable on press. 3. Consider one matte side: some brands choose gloss on the front and an uncoated back for writing notes. 4. Add spot UV to make a logo even shinier than the rest of the card; see spot UV business cards.
Because the coating is smooth, regular pens can smear. If you plan to write appointment times on your cards, choose matte business cards or leave the back uncoated.
Photographers, realtors, restaurants and event venues rely on images to sell, and glossy business cards let those images shine. A sharp property photo or a plated dish on the front of the card often does more than a paragraph of text, and the coating keeps the picture looking fresh after weeks in a wallet.
