business cards sydney
A critical part of new business acquisition is the business card. The business card is very much an overlooked item by new businesses, and specifically businesses that can’t or don’t justify the initial cost of printing of what they consider not to be a necessary item. It’s unfortunate to note, that those are the business operators that will shortly be asked for a business card, and will have to say one of two things; that is “we are currently printing more” or “we are trying to move away from business cards because it matched our environmentally friendly ethos”. Either way, that’s the same business owner who just lost an opportunity and will then see the value in having a business card printed and on them at all times.
Part of having business cards printed is the legitimacy that those cards bring to your business. That does not mean that any business card will bring a sense of legitimacy because ordering cheap business cards online might do more damage to your start-up business reputation than not having a business card, but the right branding and business card can make all the difference to your new business.
Business Card Size and Shape
Another consideration is your business card size, i.e 90mm wide x 55mm tall or smaller. Some new dynamic business opt for a narrower business card design, e.g 90mm wide x 45mm tall, but this is a matter of branding and design, not a matter for your trade printer. The business cards will not generally cost the same regardless of size, assuming it falls within the large 90mm x 55mm size. Smaller bespoke business cards can sometimes cost more.
Another option to distinguish your business card from another is by having between one and 4 rounded corners.
CMYK and PMS Business Cards
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) is the standard 4 colour printing process and can be mixed to make any variation of colours.
PMS (Pantone Matching System) is a very specific printing method whereby the colour of ink is mixed before being entered into the printing press / machine so that the printed result is as accurate as the ink test before being entered into the printing press / machine. This is done in cases of colour critical brands.
Raised printing, or Verco printing, is when a powder is added to the ink on a business card just after the ink has been applied to the card. That powder mixes with the wet ink and then expands when heated. The cards are then passed through a heat source and the expanding powder takes effect.
Business Card GSM and MicroNs
Business card GSM refers to the actual weight of the paper, not the thickness, and while the two share a correlation, it is incorrect to say that a business card is thicker just because it has a higher GSM. A business card made with a higher GSM card can have been compressed more, and so while more heavy and rigid, they can actually occupy less space.
The actual thickness of the card is the microns, and is measured by a calliper. Between the microns and GSM one could infer a sense of legitimacy and quality over the business the business card represents.
other Business Card options
There are other options in the business card world that add value or impression to your business card, options like matt and gloss cello, soft-touch velvet cello, scodix over cello (which is a clear raised embellishment), metallic foiling and emboss / debossing. If you are interested in hearing more about one of those business card options, please contact us with a request for more information.
