About Our Matte Business Cards
Keep the shine to a minimum with Matte Business Cards. The smooth, low-shine finish gives colors and graphics a clean, understated appearance that's well suited to professional branding, simple designs, and everyday business use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a matte business card look and feel like?
Matte Business Cards have a smooth surface with minimal shine, creating a clean and understated appearance compared with glossy cards.
Should I choose 14pt or 16pt cardstock?
Both are sturdy options for everyday business cards. Choose 14pt for a traditional business card or 16pt if you prefer a slightly thicker, more substantial feel.
What's the difference between matte and glossy business cards?
Matte cards have a low-shine surface for a softer, understated appearance. Glossy cards have a shiny, reflective finish that can make colors and graphics appear more vibrant.
Can I print on both sides?
Yes. Full-color printing is available on the front only or on both sides.
Can I add Spot UV to Matte Business Cards?
Spot UV may be available by custom quote. It adds glossy accents to selected areas of the design, creating contrast against the matte surface.
