A bit disappointing.

We are sorry to hear that your card did not turn out as expected and regret the disappointment caused by the yellowing and lack of crispness, which affected the appearance of your maple leaf design.

To help us assist you further, please reply to this email with details on whether the issue occurred on all cards or only part of them, as we are eager to set up a free replacement for you.

We appreciate your sharing your feedback on the Clear Business Cards. We regret hearing that the edges were jagged and there were lines printed on the cards. Furthermore, we want to assure you that jagged edges are not typical. Regarding the lines in the background, we recommend that in the future, you request a "PDF proof" of your design before completing the order; www.vistaprint.ca/customer-care/help-center/360052259371/. This is available in the editing studio, and when viewed at 100%, it will show you what the document will look like when printed. We are prepared to assist with a replacement order and ask that you edit the cards and add the correct background. Once done, please respond to this email to confirm, so we can proceed with the replacement. If your request is urgent, and you need an immediate solution, please reach out to our Customer Support team via www.vistaprint.ca/customer-care/help-center/. We look forward to working with you.

We appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the recent order. We regret hearing that the outcome of the printing was not as expected. Please note that the order was placed for clear plastic business cards. As such, the background is mainly transparent. For this type of card, we suggest using bright, bold colors. Your text size should also be size 10 and above. Please note that we offer both plastic business cards that are not clear: www.vistaprint.ca/business-cards/plastic. We recommend that you check these out. Furthermore, we have taken action on your account, and a follow-up email with more details will be sent to you. We hope this helps.
Great quality!

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.
