Create a classic card that’s understated but impressive.

  • Smooth 14pt card stock (both sides)
  • Easy to write on with pencil or ink
  • Colors can appear muted or faded
  • Great for appointment cards & reminders

Uncoated business cards have a clean, natural look with a light texture and matte finish. Simple designs look particularly great on this stock, and it’s a go-to option if you like adding handwritten notes for your customers, clients or prospects. (It’s great for appointment cards, too.) If you’d like a mix of traditional and trendy, you can customize your uncoated business cards with rounded corners or a square shape.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We are very sorry about the Uncoated Business Cards you received. This is not the VistaPrint experience we want you to have, and we appreciate you sharing your feedback. Looking at the product overview, it notes that colors can appear muted or faded. In the FAQ section, the question “What types of designs work well on uncoated business cards?” explains that the paper has a very natural feel and is highly absorbent. When a busy, ink‑heavy design is used, colors may look faded as they are absorbed during printing. Simpler designs without a lot of bright colors or intricate details tend to produce clearer results on this stock. To assist further, we recommend responding to this review with specific details and clear photos of what you received, so we can work with you to find the best possible resolution. Your feedback will also be shared with the relevant team to strengthen quality guidance and improve future outcomes. If you would like to keep your original artwork for future orders, we suggest choosing our glossy paper stock, which offers a sleek, shiny finish that enhances vibrant colors and modern designs. You can also explore premium options such as gold or silver raised foil, foil accents, or embossed gloss for an elevated look here: https://www.vistaprint.ca/business-cards/premium. Should your request be urgent or if you’d prefer to speak with someone directly, feel free to contact our Customer Support team at 833-996-2067 or visit our Help Center (https://www.vistaprint.ca/customer-care/help-center/) for real-time assistance. We look forward to receiving your photos and assisting you further to ensure your next order reflects the quality you expect.

The paper has a very natural feel, and it’s very absorbent. So, when you have a busy, ink-heavy design, it may look a bit faded as the colours are absorbed during printing. We’d recommend simpler designs without a lot of bright colours and intricate, small details. For more general questions, you can also check out our article, Business Card Design Ideas.
