Start with a templateWhy choose glossy business cards
Color that looks lit
A gloss coat deepens blacks and makes reds, blues and greens look saturated. It is the card to choose when the picture is the message.
Thickness and foil, if you want them
Glossy is sold in Standard, Premium and Premium Plus thickness, and Foil Accent can be added to the front for a metallic logo.
A silky back for the details
The shine is on the front only. The back has a smooth, low sheen surface, so a phone number or an address printed there reads without reflection.
Before you order
- It will be shinier than I expected
- Glossy is meant to shine. If you like the color but not the reflection, the matte card uses the same layouts and keeps the colors without the glare. Order 50 of each if you are unsure.

How people use it
A portfolio image on the front
Run the photo edge to edge on the front and keep your name and site on the back. Extend the picture past the trim so no white sliver shows after cutting.
Open house handouts
A stack of glossy cards with the listing photo goes on the kitchen island. Premium thickness keeps them from curling in a hot car between showings.
A menu teaser at the window
Print the signature dish on the front, the hours on the back, and hand one over with every order during the first month at a new spot.
Pairs well with
Standard postcardsUse the same photo on a postcard for mailers or a counter display.
Custom postersBlow the hero image up for a window or a booth wall.
Rack cardsGive a longer photo story room on a tall rack card.

Good to know
Can I write on glossy business cards?
Ink tends to sit on a gloss coat and can smear. A permanent marker works, but a ballpoint does not write well. If notes on the card matter, choose matte or uncoated instead.
Which thickness suits a photo card?
Standard is fine for cards handed out and kept in a wallet. Choose Premium or Premium Plus when the card is the first thing a client sees of your work, because a stiffer card keeps a photo flat and feels more deliberate.
How do I keep a photo sharp on a small card?
Use an image that is at least 300 pixels per inch at the printed size, which means roughly 1,050 by 600 pixels for a full front, plus a little extra for bleed. A person checks every file before printing.
Does foil work on a glossy card?
Yes. Foil Accent is sold on this card and adds metallic shine to the parts of the front you mark. Keep foil lines and type bold so the foil reads clearly.
Colors will not match my screen
A screen glows and paper reflects, so no print matches a monitor exactly. Gloss gets closest for photos. Design in CMYK if your software allows it and avoid very bright neon tones, which print darker than they look on screen.
Cards will arrive bent or scuffed
If a card arrives damaged, send a photo within 30 days and we arrange a reprint or a full refund. Returns are free, and often nothing needs to be mailed back.
