Painted Edge Business Cards
Carry your brand color beyond the printed face with painted-edge business cards made on substantial 32PT uncoated stock.
Choose from the available standard and metallic edge colors to coordinate with your logo or create a contrasting accent. Rectangular and square formats give you room to tailor the layout to your brand. A clean face design lets the colored edge add its own detail, especially when cards are handed over or displayed in a stack.
