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.

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.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We appreciate your feedback and regret the confusion caused with your business cards order. After careful review, we noted the backdrop color on your design was not pure white and featured a creamy off-white shade instead. To help set clear expectations for the final outcome, we recommend carefully checking the preview mode and reviewing the PDF proof prior to placing an order. Furthermore, we suggest making the necessary adjustments to update your backdrop color whenever you are ready, and feel free to place a reorder at your convenience. We trust you'll find this helpful. Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to call us at 833-996-2067.

Setting up and obtaining my business cards was easy, fast and affordable. Can't ask for much more than that.

Off Centre completely
Aug 13, 2026 | Teresa D. |
Verified Buyer
While I love the cards, thank you, the design is completely off centre and not centered at all. Not sure if this is an error on your machine part or your computer part, but the one side the design is cut off. They are useable but not 100% happy in the fact that the entire order of these cards seems to be this way. I wish there was a way to fix this.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We’re sorry to hear that the design on your cards was not centered as expected, especially since it affected the entire order. We understand how disappointing this can be. While you can add a border, it’s not recommended. Borders can appear uneven or off-center after your product is cut. Printed products are trimmed after printing, and small shifts in the cutting process can happen. Because of this, borders may look misaligned or uneven on the final product. You can learn more about how trimming works here: https://www.vistaprint.com/hub/bleed-and-trim. Please let us know if you’re willing to have the design adjusted, and we’ll be happy to help.

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.
