Business Cards: Matte Vs. Glossy

Are you thinking of getting new business cards? When you give someone your business card you’re not just giving information on a piece of paper. The design, and quality of your business card communicates the quality of your business to potential clients, and has a huge impact on how people perceive you and your brand. There are some general rules for business cards, such as the type of card stock to use, and ink quality, that will impact the look and feel of the card, but the matte vs. glossy debate still largely comes down to preference. So, then how do you decide which is best to use? Here are some pros and cons of each.

Matte Business Cards

Matte stock cards offer a clean, modern look that’s great for designs and color pallets that are less vibrant. Matte finish ensures that there is no glare on your cards, and won’t keep finger prints or smudges when handled. Also, if you’re one to write on business cards before handing them out, the matte will allow you to do so.

Glossy Business Cards

The shiny finish on glossy business cards is great for making high contrast images or text look sharp and clear to see. It will also make vibrant pallets pop. This is great if you plan have a photo or head shot on your cards.  The gloss finish will also add an extra layer of protection that the matte finish won’t have. Gloss finish can be great, but they do have the chance of looking tacky when paired with a poor design. Having your cards professionally designed can remedy this situation.

Whichever kind of business card you go with truly does come down to personal preference. The most important thing to remember is to always choose a card that will enhance your branding.
