Which paper should you choose?

  • 300 g/m² offset board: an uncoated paper with a natural feel, easy to write on (appointments, a handwritten note). It cannot be laminated.
  • 400 g/m² matt coated: our most requested paper. Its thickness gives a rigid card, and it is the only paper that can be laminated.
  • 400 g/m² gloss coated: shows off colourful or photographic designs. Already protected by its varnish, it is not laminated.
  • Another paper or weight? Recycled, fine paper, 350 g…: contact us for a custom offer.

Matt or gloss lamination?

Lamination is applied to the 400 g matt coated paper. Matt gives an understated look, gloss makes colours stand out. Either way, the card holds up better to wear. Need lamination on another paper? Mention it in your quote request.

Which size?

85 × 55 mm is the most widely used size in Europe and fits standard card holders. 90 × 50 mm is slightly longer. Portrait suits tall logos and original layouts.

Uses

Prospecting and meetings, trade fairs, a card slipped into a parcel, appointment cards for freelancers and professionals.
