Coloured Paper Business Cards

Instead of printing a colour onto white card, the card itself is coloured. Choose from more than 100 paper colours – pastels, brights, earthy tones, greys, navy and black – and your card stands out before anyone reads a word.

How your design goes on

Coloured paper is made for foil, letterpress, blind emboss and deboss. On dark papers only white, silver or gold ink prints, and white ink is slightly see-through, so foil gives the crispest result on black or navy.

Two colours in one card

Two coloured papers can be bonded back to back, or around a coloured middle layer, so the front, back and edge show different colours. This works with the lighter papers.
