Business cards are
cards
carrying business
information about a
company or
person. They are common among business people as a
convenient reminder of contact information. Business cards include the
giver's name,
company affiliation, usually with a logo
and contact info like
mailing addresses,
phone numbers, a
fax number, e-mail addresses and
website. Business cards can include
telex,
accounts,
tax codes. Historically many business cards were black text on
white paper; these days a professional business card can
include one or more aspects of striking graphic design. Business cards are printed on card stock, the
graphic image, method of printing, costs and other details vary
according to your ethnic background, culture or corporate and personal preferences.

High Quality Business Cards
without full-colour photos are usually printed using spot colours
on sheet-fed offset printing presses. Some companies have gone so
far as to trademark their spot colours such as UPS brown, Tide's
orange, and Los Angeles Lakers' purple. If your business card logo
is a single colour and the type is another colour, this process is
called two colour. More spot colours may be added dependent on the
needs of the card. For the company with many people needing
business cards, a shell program is often advisable. Pre-printed
shells with your logo can be produced, then imprinted with
individual names as required. With the arrival of digital printing
and batch printing, it is now more cost effective to print
business cards in full colour.

Raised Print Business Cards create the
"raised-print" effect of printing with engraved plates. A
less expensive process called thermography was industrialized that
uses the application of a plastic powder, which sticks to the wet
ink. The cards are then passed through a hot unit, which melts the
plastic onto the card. Spot UV varnish onto matte coated card
stock can also have a similar effect.

Full Colour Business Cards, or cards with many

Glossy UV Business Cards can also be coated with
a UV glossy coat. The UV coat is applied with another ink using
another unit, or a sheet fed press. UV coats can sometimes be
applied as a spot coating meaning areas are coated, and other
areas are left uncoated. UV business card coating gives a High
Gloss Finish which adds more prestige and it protects from
smudging or colour fading.

Business Card Bleed - Designers of business cards
give bleeds if the colour goes over to the edge of the final cut
size. A bleed is colour print over the cut lines. This is to help
ensure that the paper will cut without white edges due to very
small differences in where the blade cuts the cards, and it is
almost impossible to cut the cards properly without. Just being a
hair off can result in white lines, and the blade itself will pull
the paper while cutting. The image on the paper can also shift
from page to page which is called a bounce, which is generally off
by a hairline on an offset press, but can be quite large on lower
end equipment such as a copier or a duplicator press. Larger
presses have much better colour alignment (registration), but
still requires the careful skill of a highly trained press
operator. Bleeds are typically an extra 3.175 (1/8) to 6.35 mm
(1/4 in) to all sides of the card.

Express Business Cards
can be printed with a digital copier, which uses toner heated on
to the face of the card. Industry leaders have begun to avoid
using the term copier, insisting their new machines are like
digital presses, than their predecessors. BUSINESS CARD CANADAOrder Now
