Overview

Creative paper business cards are for people who choose the paper first. Each of the seven boards on this page has its own surface and personality, from the grain of woven bamboo to the soft weave of linen. The size is 85 × 55 mm; the character is up to you.

The seven papers for creative paper business cards

How to choose a paper

Start with how the card should feel, then check your design suits the surface.

  • Uncoated, textured boards such as linen, cotton and hemp drink in a little ink, giving a softer, printed-on-paper look.
  • Pearl reflects light, so it favours open, pale layouts.
  • Kraft is brown, so pale colours will take on its tone.

Most of these surfaces take a pen easily, which suits a ceramicist writing a price or a stylist noting the next appointment.
