In this competitive world, it is important to stand out in any industry. So is printing your branded stationery any different? No is the answer. The process starts right from planning until printing. The best way to have your stationery, like Business Cards, stand out is with the right finishing technique.
But what is a print finish, and what is the best finish to choose? The finish is the process that enhances the beauty and the value of your printed product once it has been printed. There are several finishes depending on your preference and budget. In this article, let’s go through 5 important finish techniques that you can choose for Business Cards.
5 Best Business Card Finishes
Foiling
The best finish option is Foiling (Metallic Foiling) which is very popular and high quality. The foiling process uses pressure and heat to apply a flexible and soft foil material to the print surface. The best part of foiling is that we have tonnes of color options available like silver, gold, copper, orange, rainbow, black, transparent, blue, and much more. There are glossy and matte versions of each color.
It depends on how elegant and luxurious you want your cards to be. Foiling makes your cards stand out in a crowd when compared to regular printouts and embossed cards. Lucky for you! Veesham offers a wide range of foiling at a very reasonable rate! Use our service and experience the difference.
UV Finish
UV Finish is a subtle version of Foiling. It’s not as prominent as foiling, but when used properly, it draws a lot of attention. There are different types of UV finishes like Spot UV, Crystal UV, Blind UV, Ebrassive UV, etc. The spot UV highlights specific areas of a card to draw the attention of the users toward that particular spot of the entire design.
The viewer’s curiosity is stimulated by such a varnishing type. To convey a vital message or brand message to the customers through the business cards, you can use a UV finish and create a strong impression. To know the different types of UV that we do in Veesham, click here to watch our video.
Embossing/Debossing
Embossing/Debossing is yet another very popular business card finish. This is perfect for those who are looking for a really subtle finish but with elegance. When designed and fabricated properly, this finish makes the cards look premium and expensive. There are different levels of embossing that can be done on cards depending on the machinery available. The embossed area can be of the same color as the background or a different color. Choosing the right type of paper is also important for this type of finish.
Lamination
Lamination is the most basic type of business card finish. More than a finishing technique, lamination acts as a protective process. It protects the cards from fading, abrasion, wear, and tear due to constant use. There are different types of laminations matte, glossy, velvet, scratch-free, and metallic laminations. This is based on what type of look you prefer and your budget. Velvet and scratch-free laminations are used to give a much more premium look and are slightly more expensive than other options.
Die Cut
Die Cut can also be considered a finish when we consider the change it brings into normal cards. People are looking for new ways to make their cards look unique. Printing and cutting cards in shapes other than normal rectangles instantly enhance your cards. The die supports the printed cutting material and knocks down a hole to fit appropriately with a punch made up of cutting blades. Similarly, creasing needs blunt blades to be applied in the same way.
