Choose Your Plastic Material

Each plastic style creates a different visual effect. Select the material that best supports your artwork, brand identity, and intended use.

20 pt Clear Plastic

Clear plastic provides a transparent, contemporary appearance. Unprinted areas remain see-through, creating opportunities for minimalist layouts, negative-space effects, bold typography, and modern branding.

Because the card is transparent, its appearance changes depending on the background behind it. Colors, light artwork, and transparent areas should be reviewed carefully during proofing.

20 pt Frosted Plastic

Frosted plastic creates a translucent, diffused appearance that is softer and more understated than fully clear material. It offers a sophisticated modern look while retaining partial transparency.

This style is well suited to professional services, creative companies, hospitality businesses, beauty brands, technology firms, and contemporary membership programs.

20 pt White Plastic

White plastic provides an opaque foundation for strong contrast, detailed graphics, colorful branding, and easy-to-read text. It delivers the durability of plastic while offering a familiar white background for design.

Choose White plastic for artwork containing photographs, bright colors, fine details, or elements that require a consistent opaque base.

Full-Color Foil Front Printing

Plastic Business Cards are offered with full-color foil printing on the front only. Use the printable front surface for:

• Business name and logo

• Representative name and title

• Phone number and email address

• Website and social media details

• Brand colors and graphic elements

• Decorative foil accents

• Membership or customer information

• QR codes

• Promotional messaging

• Identification numbers

The reverse side remains unprinted. Arrange the essential information on the front so the card remains balanced, readable, and easy to understand.

Foil appearance depends on the selected finish, plastic material, lighting, and viewing angle. Confirm the available foil options while configuring the order and review their placement carefully on the digital proof.

Standard or Rounded Corners

Rounded corners are available for all offered sizes. They provide a smooth, contemporary finish and can complement the modern appearance of plastic material.

Choose between:

• Standard Corners: A classic rectangular profile with square corners

• Rounded Corners: A softer, streamlined profile with curved corners

Keep important text, logos, borders, and foil details away from the corner-cutting area.

Durable Cards for Frequent Handling

Plastic cards are designed for repeat use and frequent handling. Their water-resistant construction makes them useful in environments where moisture, spills, or regular wallet storage could affect traditional paper cards.

Suitable industries include:

• Restaurants and hospitality

• Fitness centers and gyms

• Salons and spas

• Retail stores

• Outdoor-service businesses

• Medical and professional offices

• Clubs and associations

• Events and entertainment

• Real estate and property services

• Creative and technology companies

Water resistance does not make the cards indestructible. Scratching, forceful bending, excessive heat, abrasive contact, and harsh chemicals may damage the material or printed surface.

If each card requires different names, numbers, barcodes, or other variable information, confirm variable-data availability before ordering.

Designing for Clear and Frosted Plastic

Transparent and translucent materials require additional design planning because the surface behind the card influences its appearance.

For effective artwork:

• Use strong contrast for important information.

• Avoid relying on very light colors for essential text.

• Consider how the card will look against both light and dark backgrounds.

• Use transparent areas intentionally.

• Keep small text and thin lines easy to reproduce.

• Test QR codes at their final printed size.

• Review the relationship between full-color printing, foil details, and transparent areas.

• Do not assume that unprinted areas will appear white on Clear or Frosted plastic.

The finished result may look different from artwork displayed on an opaque white computer screen.
