Uncoated Linen Finish Business Cards
Our Linen Finish Business Cards are printed on quality 350gsm linen embossed card stock, available in black, white or cream. Being textured, there are a couple of things you should consider when creating your artwork. Like many of the other creative stocks we offer, we don't recommend flood coating on this board, because you’ll lose the appeal of the stock. There is another issue that; the ink does not always fill the dimples in the page, leaving you with a mottled image. To curtail these issues, we recommend either keeping ink coverage low or using colours that are a mix of as many of the CMYK inks as possible. This way, the stock will have multiple layers of ink applied to it and will achieve a much more solid finish. This range can also be foil stamped in the foil colour(s) of your choice on one side. We only utlise the finest stamping foils, resulting in a vibrant and opulent metallic finish. The ideal choice for users who want to experiment with creative stocks!

DO..
Make the linen embossed finish part of your design.
Use the distinct linen finish look as the background to your artwork and simply add small, decorative pieces to complete your design.
Keep ink coverage low or use colours that are a mix of as many of the CMYK inks as possible. This way, the stock will have multiple layers of ink applied to it and will achieve a much more solid finish.
DON'T..
Choose linen embossed finish stock to be flood printed in a solid colour. If you cover this stock in a lot of ink, the ink does not always fill the dimples in the page, leaving you with a mottled image.
PRODUCTION INFO
TURNAROUND TIMES
The production times quoted on our website are based on typical production schedules and cannot be guaranteed. If you require a product urgently or by a specific date, please contact us before ordering and we will do our upmost to adjust our production schedules and meet your needs. Our ability to meet very tight delivery deadlines is subject to order specifications, quantities, machine requirements, third-party couriers and several other factors that may be beyond our control.
COLOUR VARIATION
Colour variation is inherent in any printing process, you should expect a 10% colour shift between runs.
FOIL STAMPING
All foil stamping is carried out in-house at After Hours Creative. We apply foil effects using an etched metal die/plate and a combination of heat and pressure to press the foil in to the card stock. This foil stamping process creates a slight indentation in the card stock during the foil application. The amount of indentation is carried out at the discretion of the foil technician. Too much of an impression can cause the foil to bleed around the edges or create filling in between foil elements. Our priority is always achieving the highest quality foil print.
DEBOSSING
Debossing entails making a subtle indentation into the stock, with the absence of foil (blind debossing) or with foil. Any media produced with debossing is done at the technician's discretion, as too much of a deboss can cause the foil to bleed around the edges and result in a poor quality finish, so we find a balance between quality of print and the level of deboss.
