Premium Business Cards Tailored to Your Brand
Premium business cards give you greater control over how your brand looks and feels in a customer’s hand. The available paper selection ranges from familiar 14 pt. cover stocks to textured specialty papers and ultra-thick, triple-layered Trifecta cards.
Choose 14 pt. Gloss Cover for a smooth, high-shine presentation. Its High Gloss UV coating helps protect the printed surface but makes the card unsuitable for writing. For appointment details, signatures, loyalty stamps, or handwritten notes, choose the writable 14 pt. Uncoated Cover.
Premium Linen provides a classic textured appearance, while Premium Kraft offers a natural, rustic look. Ultra-Premium Pearl adds a distinctive pearlescent character, and Ultra-Premium Smooth White provides a substantial white stock with a smooth surface. Matte stocks offer a more subdued alternative to gloss.
For greater thickness and visual distinction, choose a triple-layered Trifecta stock. Available configurations include Green, Black, Red, and blue cards with a velvet finish, plus Pearl with a Kanvas texture.
Raised Print UV and Raised Print Foil are available exclusively on 16 pt. Premium Matte Cover. Raised UV creates elevated glossy design elements, while Raised Foil adds metallic accents in Gold, Silver, or Rose Gold. These finishes work well for logos, names, patterns, and selected design details positioned safely inside the trim area.

Customization Options
Select a Size
Choose the standard 2" × 3.5" format for familiar business-card proportions. European, slim, and compact dimensions provide alternative layouts for brands seeking a different presentation.
Choose a Paper Stock
Consider appearance, texture, thickness, and function when selecting your stock. A writable uncoated surface is appropriate for handwritten information, while gloss, pearl, linen, Kraft, matte, and Trifecta stocks provide different visual and tactile qualities.
Configure Your Printing
Full-color printing on both sides provides the most space for branding and supporting information. A grayscale back offers a more restrained secondary design, while a blank back keeps the card simple.
Add a Specialty Finish
Select Raised Print UV for elevated glossy details or Raised Print Foil for metallic Gold, Silver, or Rose Gold accents. Both finishes are available only with 16 pt. Premium Matte Cover.
Raised UV and foil elements cannot extend to the finished edge. Keep these elements safely within the trim area when preparing your design.
Select a Corner Style
Choose traditional square corners or add a 0.25" corner radius. Rounded corners are available for all five Premium Business Card sizes.

Custom premium business cards are suitable for:
- Executives, consultants, and sales professionals

Design, File Review and Digital Proof
Start with a professional template, use the online designer, or upload your prepared artwork. Select the size, quantity, paper stock, printing configuration, finish, and corner style that suit your project.
If Link Printers identifies an artwork issue or needs clarification, you will be contacted before production. The team will work with you to resolve the matter before the project moves forward.
A digital proof will be emailed for approval before final production. Carefully review all spelling, wording, images, colors, layout, and other design details before approving it.
For Raised Print UV and Raised Print Foil, keep all raised elements away from the final trimmed edge. Refer to the applicable Link Printers artwork guide or product template for complete file-setup requirements.
