Business Card Printing for Gloucester Firms
Gloucester is the county town and a lot of face-to-face working goes on in the professional services around the cathedral, tradesmen in the area and new businesses down by the old docks. Passing a business card at the end of a meeting does a job that a signature on an email can’t. Our print works are based in Stroud, which is about 10 miles from here, so ordering Business Cards Gloucester firms can depend on doesn’t mean having to send your artwork to some unknown printer.
For the majority of customers the standard size is 85 x 55mm printed on high quality paper and finished with a matt or gloss lamination. We also offer soft-touch lamination for a soft and velvety feel, and spot UV for highlighting a logo to make it stand out. The average turnaround time is 2–5 days, depending on the number of variations, amount to be printed and the chosen finishes. Get a Quote or call us on 01453 731001 to talk it through.
Paper, Sizes and Finishes
Paper
We offer a variety of paper options, ranging from the standard 350gsm to a thicker 450gsm board, available in both single and double-sided finishes.
Sizes
The standard size is 85 x 55mm, but we can accommodate custom sizes or even folded cards to meet your preferences.
Rounded Corners
Rounded corners add a subtle, elegant touch to your business card, offering a polished, professional finish. They’re also less prone to bending, helping your cards stay looking fresh longer.
Lamination
Laminating your business cards adds durability and protection while giving them a sleek, professional appearance. Available in both matte and gloss finishes.
Soft Touch Lamination
For an extra luxurious feel, opt for soft-touch lamination. It gives your cards a silky, velvety texture, creating a lasting impression.
Recycled
We use materials from sustainable sources, and whenever possible, we encourage the use of eco-friendly and recycled options.
Matt Lamination with Spot UV
Spot UV business cards feature a glossy UV coating applied to specific areas, creating a striking contrast with the matte finish and highlighting key elements of your design.
Foil Blocking
Foil blocking provides a distinctive, eye-catching finish. Using heat, foil is pressed onto specific areas of the card, delivering a metallic effect that accentuates certain parts of your design.
