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.

Not the same as the proof

I gave this review weeks ago, not sure why I'm being asked again. Essentially, the design website and accessing everything was great. Everything is intuitive and easy, so I thought. I was excited to get my business cards. The stock and mat are perfect. The colour, however, not good at all. The image I uploaded from Canva looked perfect on the proof, but seems washed out in-person. Because of that, there's not enough contrast so the orange is very difficult to look at. I even paid for the extra cards as prompted due to savings on shipping etc. . . for the $70+CAD that I spent, it's not a great end result experience. I can't hand these out. They don't look goo.

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.
