Make your first impression feel as considered as your brand. Printed on extra-thick 32pt uncoated cardstock in the classic 3.5" x 2" size, Painted Edge Business Cards combine a substantial feel with a striking band of color along every edge: a distinctive detail that stands out before your card is even turned over.
The extra-thick construction gives each card a satisfying weight and presence in the hand, while the uncoated front and back offer a natural paper feel with a refined, low-sheen appearance. Your full-color artwork takes center stage, framed by an edge color that brings the whole design together.
Choose a standard edge color for a bold, coordinated accent, or a metallic edge for a light-catching finishing touch. Match a key color in your branding, create a confident contrast, or pair a minimal design with a dramatic edge.
At a classic 3.5" x 2" size, these cards combine familiar proportions with an unmistakably premium feel. From the first handshake to the next introduction, they give customers one more reason to remember your business.

32pt cardstock is approximately 0.032" thick, or 0.81 mm: about twice the nominal thickness of 16pt cardstock. It feels firm and substantial in the hand, with enough thickness to make the painted edge a noticeable part of the design.
No. Metallic edge options apply to the edges only. The front and back are uncoated cardstock printed in full color. Selecting Metallic Gold edges does not add gold foil or a metallic finish to your printed artwork.
Select your preferred color from the Edge color menu when ordering. Choose a shade that complements your logo, coordinates with your artwork or creates a bold contrast. Standard colors provide a solid-color accent; metallic options add a reflective sheen. On-screen colors are approximate.
Uncoated cardstock has a natural paper surface without a glossy coating or laminate. It has a low-sheen appearance, and printed colors can look softer than they do on coated stock.
A PDF at the finished size plus 1/16" bleed on every side, with text and logos kept 1/8" inside the cut line. JPG and PNG files at 300 dpi work too.
