A smoothly coated classic

Polished and professional, matte finish business cards are always in style. Matte paper has been a customer favorite for years, and it’s easy to see why. The smooth, low-contrast finish reduces glare and deepens colours, making them a great option for readability and modern designs like black business cards.

Add your personal touch

Make your matte business cards speak for your business with our variety of custom options. We have standard, premium and premium plus thicknesses available. You can also select a square shape or rounded corners to make your design stand out. For an ultra-eye-catching touch, try adding one of our special finishes, like metallic foil or embossed gloss.

Start designing

Our user-friendly design studio makes business card printing easier than ever. You can upload your own complete design, or you can pick from a wide range of templates, all tailored to specific industries, themes and uses. From there, it’s quick and easy to add your own text, logo, images and more. We’ll professionally print your design, and you’ll be handing clients your matte finish business cards in no time.

The business cards are nice but the text is harder to read than expected because of the foil effect that was not super clear to see on the preview. The cut of the cardboard left some dust that is all over the cards but overall they are beautiful and well made.

2 orders and still no business cards

I live in a rural area in farm country Ontario. . I used this service when I lived in Toronto with no problem. I ordered business cards for an event. In rural areas we have a residential address for deliveries and a PO Box for post. This proved too much to handle. The business cards did not arrive in time for the event. . I reordered with extremely detailed instructions but they did not arrive again. Great service for cities, but if you live on a farm, definitely no
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that your business cards did not arrive in time for your event. Delivering to rural addresses can sometimes present additional challenges, and we're sorry that this affected your experience. Identifying and utilizing a location that allows for the secure and efficient delivery of your orders is recommended. We have completed our checks and have emailed you details related to a resolution that has been provided to you regarding the delayed delivery of your initial order, and we look forward to working with you on future products of interest

Not bad.

They were ok but the edges were a bit rough
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear that you were generally satisfied with your business cards, but we're sorry that the edges were rough. That's not the experience we would want for you, as it doesn't speak to the professional finish that we aim to provide. We have since processed a replacement order at no additional cost to you. You can view details of this replacement order from the order history/details of your VistaPrint account, and we look forward to assisting with future products of interest.

 Our matte business cards have a non-reflective surface on both sides.

You can write on our matte cards, but different markers or pens may give you different results. If you’re looking for a material you can easily write on, try our uncoated business cards.

You can choose from our square shape and rounded corner upgrades. We also offer special finish upgrades, like embossed gloss or foil accent. Just look for those choices as you go through the design process, and keep in mind that special finishes aren’t available with square business cards.

Absolutely. You can choose from glossy finish business cards and a variety of others. Matte business cards have a smoother, non-reflective surface, sometimes described as silky or polished. They’re great for deep colours, especially for black business cards, and have a refined feel. Glossy business cards have a shiny, light-catching finish that helps bright colours and photographs pop.
