Frequently Asked Questions: Business Cards UK

Detailed answers on sizes, paper stocks, lamination options, and production times.

What is the standard size for UK business cards? ▼
The standard UK business card size is 85mm x 55mm. When supplying artwork, please set your document canvas to 91mm x 61mm, which has the required 3mm bleed margin around all edges. We also produce folded business cards (170mm x 55mm flat, folding to 85mm x 55mm) for appointment grids or loyalty schemes.
What is the difference between 350gsm and 450gsm cardstock? ▼
While 350gsm is standard commercial card, our signature 450gsm silk stock is greatly thicker, heavier, and more rigid. It delivers that reassuring "thud" when handed to a client, resisting bends and corner dog-ears inside wallets. Combined with protective lamination, 450gsm cards represent the executive standard across the UK.
What is the difference between Matt, Gloss, and Soft-Touch Velvet lamination? ▼
Matt lamination provides a smooth, anti-glare finish that looks understated and executive. Gloss lamination creates a high-shine, ultra-vibrant surface that makes bright photography and graphics pop. Soft-Touch Velvet is a tactile luxury coating that gives the card an irresistible suede, peach-skin feel. This makes it memorable the moment a client touches it.
Can I write or stamp on laminated business cards? ▼
Laminated surfaces (Matt, Gloss, and Soft-Touch) repel ink and stamps. If you require cards for appointment bookings, loyalty stamp grids, or personal handwritten notes, choose our Uncoated 350gsm or Recycled 300gsm Kraft stock, which absorbs pen ink and stamp ink instantly without smudging.
Can I print double-sided business cards with different designs on each side? ▼
Yes! Double-sided printing is included as standard with no extra charge. We recommend placing your company logo and brand aesthetic on the front, and your contact numbers, email, website, and QR code on the back.
What is Raised 3D Spot UV (Scodix) embellishment? ▼
Raised 3D Spot UV applies a clear, glossy polymer resin directly on top of specific design elements (like your logo or icon) over a silky matt-laminated background. Because it is raised above the card surface, it creates a dramatic tactile relief that clients can see and feel when they touch the card.
How fast is delivery for custom business cards in the UK? ▼
Standard business card orders are dispatched within 2 to 4 working days with 100% Free UK Mainland Tracked Delivery. Express turnaround options are also available at checkout for urgent networking events and trade shows.
