Ultra Thick Definition 

So what does “ultra thick business cards” mean? These cards are built with layers of paper to provide an almost unbendable material. To put it in perspective your classic business card is printed on a paper weight of about 14 pt. Our super thick business cards go to a 35 pt thickness, which is essentially two sheets duplexed together. This provides for a sturdy material that seldom creases or tears.

Benefits

Why would you opt for an ultra thick business card vs a standard business card (which we also offer)? There are several benefits to adding thickness to a business card. Imagine you are at a business event in Philadelphia. Ideas are flowing, hands are shaking and your business cards are getting flipped around through potential buyers’ hands. How long do you think a business card will last printed on cheap and flimsy paper? Once the paper tears creases or fades your business opportunity ends. Durability in a business cards determines its success. Your card may sit on a desk or shelf for a while before being remembered and read over again. Don't you want it to last? You enhance it’s shelf-life by adding a thickness that can’t be rivaled.

Coat Your Ultra Thick Business Cards

The paper you purchase can be altered in so many ways to make it your own. One such alteration you can add is a coating. You can choose a matte option (uncoated) to let the grain of the paper shine through. This leaves it looking raw and unfinished, perfect for minimalist style business. Or you can opt for semi gloss. Are you a more traditional and clean-cut sort of business? Add a semi gloss coating to make your ultra thick business cards have a brushed up and fresh look and feel. Remember any of these coatings can be applied to any of our business cards in our business card printing services.
