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.

Business card

They came out very nicely. The image had a bit of the top chopped off (trees), but not a serious problem. It was probably because I don't know how the "bleed" works when I used the template. Overall very pleased
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’re very pleased with how your business cards turned out overall, though we’re sorry to hear about the slight cropping at the top of the image. We understand how that can happen when working with templates for the first time. In this case, the photo specifications did not fully match the card specifications, so the image would need to be adjusted to best fit the layout. For reference, the full bleed size is 2.12" x 3.62", and the trim size is 2" x 3.5". For future orders, we recommend adjusting your design within these dimensions to avoid important parts of the image being cut off. You can also contact our customer care team if you need assistance with setting up your artwork. https://www.vistaprint.ca/customer-care/help-center/

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.
