Black Edge Business Cards
Frame your introduction with black-edge business cards that pair substantial 32PT stock with a bold, contrasting edge.
The black edge adds definition when a card is held or viewed in a stack, while the uncoated faces provide space for your printed design. Choose from the available rectangular and square sizes. Minimal artwork, strong typography, and generous margins help the edge detail become a deliberate part of your brand presentation.
