Brown Kraft Business Cards
For a homegrown, personalized touch! Brown Kraft paper
is light brown with natural fibers and subtle visible flecks lending it a natural, organic look and feel. The uncoated smooth finish
provides excellent print quality, while the colored stock adds warmth and a rustic appeal to images. Optional white ink can be applied
in specific areas or all over giving you the flexibility to add contrast and brighten images. Brown Kraft is 100% recycled with a minimum
of 30% post-consumer waste content.
Please be aware that recycled and colored stocks may have slight color variation due to the materials used to manufacture the paper.
The flecks in the paper will also vary from sheet to sheet and press run to press run.
Brown Kraft has the option to add white ink as an overprint. The white will be a base for the CMYK providing a bright white surface
which will allow for vibrant, crisp color. Areas without white ink will appear darker due to the color of the stock. Similar to Spot
UV masks, White Mask files are separate from your artwork files. Black in the White Mask file indicates where white ink will be printed.
Make sure to create your mask file the same size as your artwork file. This will prevent alignment issues during printing.
Note: White Masks must be made in vector format and be saved as EPS or PDF. You may use gradients in the white ink mask file. Please
be aware that anything less than 100%K will be transparent and allow the brown stock to show through.
Use vector paths/shapes to create black color areas that will indicate where the white ink base will go. The rest of the areas will
show the Brown Kraft stock.
Remember the following when creating a white mask for your white ink base:
White ink base will be printed behind any color that’s in your Artwork Layer.
Areas with color but without a White Mask will be printed with color directly on the material.
Areas with color and a White Mask will be printed as opaque or solid color.
Areas with a White Mask and no color will be printed as white.
Cut through the noise with a one-of-a-kind business card design.
Want to make a standout first impression at events, meetings and more? Create business cards that you can confidently hand out to
new customers and prospects. Pass them around at events to introduce yourself and your business, or add them to goodie bags, folders
and more. Even in this digital age there’s a good reason custom business card printing continues to be popular year after year for
small businesses and professionals. Here’s why you should make business cards:
It’s personal. Sending your contact information through email or text is convenient but impersonal. Handing
out business cards while conversing and making eye contact is how relationships are born.
It’s portable. Potential leads or contacts are everywhere. Having a business card ready to hand out at any time
ensures you will never miss an opportunity to make valuable business connections.
It’s affordable. They are relatively inexpensive which makes them a great marketing tool for small business
with a limited budget.
It’s memorable. First impressions are important, especially if you’re introducing your brand or yourself. With
business cards, you can create unique designs printed on high-quality paper stocks to get noticed and recognized. Your unique design
not only makes a great first impression but also acts as a good icebreaker.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most important elements to include on a business card?
Every business is different, but there are a few things anyone should have on their card. You’ll want to include your name, the name of your business, your contact info and your logo. Then, you can also add optional elements like photos, artwork, customer testimonials, a brand motto and more – whatever you think will connect with potential customers and business partners.
Should I put anything on the back of my business card?
You don’t need to, but you certainly can. Some people put their logo or slogan on the backside of their card. Others will list their company website or hours of operation for quick reference at a glance. And there are lots of other options, too – coupons, photos, artwork and more.
How do I pick a business card layout?
Traditionally, business card designs have a horizontal layout, but if you’re going for a different, modern feel, vertical business cards will work too. Our designers can assist you.
