Not what I expected

Was expecting a white background
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, and we are sincerely sorry to hear that the final product did not meet your expectations. Upon reviewing your order, we noted that you selected our Clear Business Cards, which are crafted from a specialized translucent plastic material intended to provide a modern, see-through aesthetic. As detailed in the product description on our website, these cards will remain transparent in any areas where the design file does not explicitly include a solid colored background; in this particular case, your uploaded design did not contain a background layer, resulting in a clear finish. Because our manufacturing and printing processes are fully automated to ensure precision and speed, our systems are designed to print the digital file exactly as it is submitted by the customer without manual intervention or adjustment. We understand how disappointing it is to receive an item that differs from what you envisioned, especially when expecting a traditional white background. To help us better understand the outcome and explore the best possible resolution for you, could you please respond to this email with a few clear images of the cards you received? Once we can review the physical results alongside your original design, we will be able to determine the most effective way to assist you further.

Perfect

I am extremely happy with this product, I was almost not going to order because it did not look like I was able to receive it in time. Since I live in another country, I had a very small time frame. I decided to give it a shot, and received the cards very quickly. I’m really happy with the quality thank you so much.

Frequently asked questions

We can’t legally print any design that looks like an ID card, credit card or bank card. But loyalty or membership cards (without detailed personal information) are fine. Also, our clear business cards are not available with any type of “mag strip” – the black stripe on the back that card readers use.

Yes, you can. We also offer plastic business cards printed on solid white or frosted plastic.

There are definitely a few things to keep in mind. First, backside printing is not available with transparent business cards. Next, any area in your design that’s white will print as white, so be sure to check the preview before approving your design. And we also suggest avoiding full-bleed images or designs, since that’ll minimize the visual effect of the material.

The cards are thicker and have rounded edges, but the height and width are the same as a typical business card.

The plastic card printing process prevents us from adding special textures or finishes to the cards. However, you can use almost any type of design – bright colours look particularly good with the high-gloss shine.

They’re made using a PVC plastic blend, available in 2 thickness options. One is more rigid like a credit card, while the other is about a third thinner.
