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.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on the Matte Business Cards. We appreciate your many years of support and regret hearing that the quality of the new cards was not as expected. Our review of the design shows that the uploaded image has a low resolution. This would have resulted in the image being blurry. For the best quality, we suggest using a high-resolution/clear image. The resolution should be 300 DPI, and a vector file type, such as a PDF, is preferred. We have taken action on your account, and a follow-up email with more details will be sent to you. We recommend replacing your original artwork and placing a new order. We trust this was helpful to you.

Dissapointed.

The color was off, not color I expected
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thanks for your review submission. We're sorry to hear that the color of your business cards did not match your expectations. Colors can sometimes appear differently in print than they do on a screen due to differences in monitor settings, lighting, and the printing process. For the best results, we recommend ensuring your artwork uses high-resolution images (at least 300 dpi) and checking colors in CMYK mode, which more accurately represents print colors rather than RGB. We've completed our checks and have emailed you details regarding the resolution that has been provided to you. If you have any future product or design-related queries, let us know. We're here to help.

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.
