Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

We regret that the business cards did not meet your expectations in terms of sturdiness. After checking your order, we noted that the selected paper type was Pearl, which is designed to have a smooth, elegant finish but is not as rigid as plastic options. For future orders, we recommend reviewing the product specifications on the webpage before placing an order to ensure that the material, finish, and durability meet your expectations. Furthermore, we offer plastic business cards, which you can view and order directly using this direct link: https://www.vistaprint.ca/business-cards/plastic/white-plastic We appreciate your feedback, and look forward to doing more business with you again.

Frequently asked questions

This paper works best with lighter-coloured designs. Rich pops of a darker accent colour print beautifully, but if your design is mostly black or dark grey, you’re less likely to see the full shimmer effect. And if your design uses photographs, you may want to consider a different paper stock.

Out pearl business cards are made using a 16pt premium paper. Each point (pt) is equal to .001 of an inch, to give you a frame of reference.
