Laminated Business Cards (Business Cards)

We use offset printing, which provides the highest quality of print material for both text and images.

In contrast to large format items (banners, signs, etc.), which are printed with either latex ink or eco-solvent ink, small format products (flyers, brochures, etc.) are produced with dry toner.

GSM (grams per square meter) is the paper weight which is relevant to the bulkiness. The other critical parameter that affects the bulkiness is the thickness of the paper (microns/um). For paper stock with the same GSM, the thicker the paper, the bulkier it is.

For example, on the business cards, our satin paper is much bulkier than the gloss paper despite the fact that both are 350gsm. This is due to Satin paper is much thicker at 379um as compare to the gloss paper at 337um.

The type of paper used for difference purposes is expressed in weight. In the countries following the European system, it is grammes per square metre (gsm or g/m² or simply g) and in the US system it is Pound (lb).

The paper used for writing/printing (letterheads and such stationery) is generally between 60 to 120 gsm (20 to 70 lb) and is called the paper or text stock. Anything heavier than this is considered the card stock, i.e. the paper used for business cards, postcards, greeting cards, etc.

Gloss laminated prints generally have more vibrant and saturated colours, but the glossy surface can reflect light and make fine print details difficult to see. Yet, a matte laminated print frequently retains fine details and texture better than its glossy version with more subdued colours, which is quite advantageous for individuals looking for an artistic sense in their prints.
