Uncoated Business Cards

Natural, writable cards in five stocks, made for stamps and handwriting.

Description

Business cards you can write on

Uncoated cards have a natural, tactile surface that takes a pen or a stamp, so one card can carry your details, an appointment time or a loyalty stamp. Choose from five stocks, from smooth white to rustic brown kraft, at the standard 85 × 55mm size with square or rounded corners. A real person checks your artwork before anything is printed.

Artwork made easy

Every order includes a free artwork check by a real person — you don't need to ask. If we spot a problem, we'll contact you before anything gets printed.

Supply a CMYK PDF at 300dpi with 3mm bleed and fonts outlined or embedded. Uncoated stocks absorb more ink, so colours print a little softer than on screen. On Brown Kraft there is no white ink: anything white in your design shows as the brown of the card, and lighter colours take on its warmth. Blank templates, including a rounded-corner version, are in the Templates section on this page.

Frequently asked questions

What is an uncoated business card?
A card with no coating or lamination on the surface. It feels natural and slightly textured, has a matt look, and can be written on or stamped.
Which stock should I choose?
Premium Smooth White is the cleanest and brightest. Natural Uncoated is lightly textured and off-white. Textured Uncoated has a speckled, canvas-like finish. Brown Kraft is rustic and earthy. 350gsm Recycled Uncoated is the thickest and is made from recycled fibre.
Can I use them as loyalty or appointment cards?
Yes, that's what they're best at. Leave space in your design for stamps or handwriting and they'll take both cleanly.
How does print look on Brown Kraft?
Warm and muted. The brown of the card shows through lighter colours, and white areas appear as bare kraft. Dark, bold designs look best.
How long do they take?
Choose Saver (3 working days), Standard (2) or Express (1) when you order. That is production time and doesn't include delivery.
Can Printlogik design my cards?
Yes. If you don't have artwork, or yours needs tidying up, our studio can set up your file or create the design from scratch. Ask for a design quote and we'll price it before you commit.
