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.

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.

My cards were delivered quickly but i was disappointed the colors were dull

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

We are so sorry to hear that your business cards arrived with dull colors, even though they were delivered quickly. We truly regret that this outcome was unsatisfactory for you. After reviewing the order details, we see that your design was a full upload from your side, and our automated printing system reflects the properties of the file provided. To fix this, we highly recommend brightening the colors of your original design file and ensuring it is saved in a high resolution before reuploading it so we can issue a replacement for you. If your request is urgent and you need an immediate solution, please reach out to our Customer Support team via: https://www.vistaprint.ca/customer-care/help-center/.

Print too small to read

It didn't appear to be small when I reviewed ay order time, finished product is too small, for most people to read. Buyer beware

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

We are sorry to hear that the text on your business cards is smaller than you anticipated, making it difficult to read. After reviewing your submitted design, we noted that the text size used is quite small, which can often appear deceptively clear on a backlit digital screen but prove challenging to read in a physical print format. To help ensure your future orders align perfectly with your vision, we strongly recommend carefully utilizing our Preview Mode and reviewing the PDF Proof provided during the checkout process. Furthermore, we recommend making a few edits to your file, specifically increasing the font size to ensure it is easily readable at a standard business card size. Once you have made these adjustments, feel free to place a new order at your convenience. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and trust you'll find this useful. Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to call us at 833-996-2067.
