At DL Design, we specialise in business card design and print, delivering high-quality, luxurious cards that leave a lasting impression.

Our clients love the feel of our matt laminated business cards, printed on 400gsm silk with pin-sharp lithographic quality. For an extra touch of class, enhance your cards with spot UV varnish, creating a striking, high-end finish that balances affordability with a premium look.

They are a brand enhancer, a contact notifier, and an aide memoire all in one tiny package. From budget-friendly to luxurious finishes, we have cards to suit your industry whether you are a high street shop or a tradesperson. With a wide range of materials and styles to choose from, these cost-effective cards are essential for any business. There are affordable business cards in quantities from 250 – 50,000 units in a wide range of materials and creative finishes.

Here are the different business cards and the uses they are best suited to.

Uncoated.

Perfect for loyalty cards as they are suitable for holding a stamp or writing a small message. Recommended for high street shops and cafes that want to reward customers for their purchases.

Spot UV.

With a glossy spot UV varnish, you can have a visual effect that sets this card apart from other business cards. Recommended for up-market restaurants and designers, the spot UV varnish can enhance certain parts of the card such as your logo.

Kraft.

The minimalist business card has a unique vintage look, perfect for that homemade touch. Recommended for artisan businesses and coffee shops.

Pearl.

The pearlescent paper is a classy choice, with a shimmering finish that catches the light. Recommended for wedding planners, wedding venues and florists.

Matt laminated.

Our most popular and sturdy card which gives protection against everyday wear and tear. The smooth finish enhances light colours. Recommended for industry conferences and tradespeople as the matt lamination keeps the card clean.

Triplex.

The most luxurious option we have with a super thick, triple-layer coloured core. Available as uncoated or silk. Recommended for creative agencies and exhibitions.

Here are some things to consider next time you order a new business card.

• Succinctly describe your business and the problems you solve.

• Spell out what it is you do. People can’t guess! For example, don’t just say you are a printer, say you are a specialist commercial trade printer specialising in B1 full-colour printing; it then becomes clear who you are and what you are offering.

• You may have one of the best business cards but don’t forget the basics. Show who you are, your job title, your contact details, and your company name.

• It’s important, to include your Unique Selling Points (USPs). Don’t tell people how long you’ve been in business, make it clear what major benefit you provide. Think carefully about what makes you different from your competition and add it to your card.

• When you go to a networking event and speak to someone, remember others are offering your skills, so you and your card must be memorable.

• Everyone likes free stuff! Think what you can give away free, possibly an ebook or at least the first chapter to give them a taste. If you offer a free consultation put that on your card.

• The main purpose of your business card is to make it easy for a potential client to contact you and to inform them of your product or service. I would always recommend you use both sides, after all, if you don’t that’s 50% of your advertising space wasted!

• A large proportion of printing costs are in the setup, particularly with short-run products. If you add a second side to the print run, it is relatively cheaper and well worth the investment for the extra marketing opportunity. Matt lamination is a cost-effective way of enhancing the look and feel of your business cards.

Business card design: Making a lasting impression.

Your business card design is often the first marketing tool you hand over to potential clients, whether at meetings or networking events. It’s crucial to create a design that is clean, simple, and effective in making a lasting impression. With years of experience in business card design and print, DL Design can help you stand out from the herd. Our expert tip: Always print on both sides of the card. It’s an easy way to utilise the extra space and maximise impact at minimal extra cost.

Business card print: Quality that speaks for your brand.

When you hand over a business card, the recipient’s first reaction is to feel its quality. High-quality business card printing is essential to making the right impression. If you’ve ever used DIY cards or generic templates, ask yourself: “Does this represent my brand in the best possible way?” If not, we can help you create custom business cards that reflect your professionalism and set you apart.

Whether you need matt laminated business cards, plastic cards with foil accents, or luxurious Triplex cards, we offer a wide range of options to suit every business and budget.
