Name/ Business card is a small piece of card which business information about a company or individual are printed on it. The standard size of name/ business card is 90mm (L) x 54mm (H), but custom size cards are getting more popular. Name/ business card is shared during first meetings or formal introductions. A box is usually provided to store the printed name/ business cards and each box can house 100 pieces of name/ business card.

A digital name card or business card, as the name implies, is printed by digital printers. Digitally printed card is the perfect choice for urgent printing needs with short lead time or low volume name card order.

The matte and gloss laminations are common finishing methods for digital name/ business card. The matte and gloss laminations provide protection to the cards while giving them a classy look. The finishing options for digital name/ business card are lesser than the offset printed cards because it will incur high cost for the name/ business card to be finished with special finishing such as hot-stamp, emboss, deboss, spot UV coating and so on. Moreover, the digital printout has less accuracy on the printing margins and alignments causing the fancier finishing difficult to be applied.

Striking name/ business cards help to leave a remarkable first impression on the clients. While digitally printed cards have limited finishing options, die-cut offers perfect alternative to draw clients’ attention to the name/ business card. The most common die-cut shape is round corner. The curves on the round corner cards are determined by the size of radius. Round corner name card can be die-cut using a specialist machine where a stack of name/ business cards edges can be die-cut in a single press. Other die-cut shape is achievable albeit with some limitations on accuracy and productivity. Special die-cut shape may require longer lead time as the machine can only die-cut each of the name/ business card piece by piece.
