My business cards have arrived!

posted in Design

My business cards have arrived and I am pretty happy with the outcome.

It was my first time using UV Cards, an online printer. I chose UV Cards because of their plethora of printing options like spot UV, foil, silk laminate, rounded corners and the list goes on. They also had the most affordable short-run rounded-corner business cards I could find. I really didn’t need 500 cards! I’ll redesign my brand before I’m even able to give out 100 of them.

I ordered my cards with the following specs:

  • 2 x 3.5 in Dimension
  • 16pt Paper Stock
  • 1/8″ Rounded Corners
  • Matte Finish/Dull Aqueous Coating (AQ)

My Business Card

The matte finish is very nice and smooth, very eggshell like. They even have a 1/4″ rounded corner option which is much more rounded compared to the 1/8″ which is more like a credit-card (pictured above).

I would have gotten fancier with more options, but it wasn’t in the budget for now. Maybe next time!

I’d highly recommend UV Cards as an online printer. Great experience all-around.
