Cotton Business Cards 600gsm Printing
Our 100% Cotton Business Cards have a distinct tactile finish and are ideal for blind deboss effects. Although we offer digital printing on Cotton cards, we recommend working with the white Cotton stock and having only small areas digitally printed (contact details, logos etc.) and avoid flood coating the stock. Applying large amounts of ink ruins the tactile surface, and you will lose the appeal of the stock. If you're unsure if your artwork is suitable, please reach out to us for guidance. If you'd like additional visual impact, opt for foil stamping and choose from 15 alluring foil colours. To capitalise on an elegant and luxurious metallic finish, we only use the finest stamping foils.
Please note: Our 100% Cotton Business Cards are only available in the colour white. If you'd like a coloured cotton stock option, please explore our Wild Business Cards.

DO..
Keep your card white. Use the Cotton card colour and just add text/logos in colour using digital printing or foil stamping.
DON'T..
Choose Cotton 600gsm stock to be flood printed in a solid colour. Flood coating Cotton stock with too much ink ruins it's tactile surface, and you will lose the appeal of the stock.
PRODUCTION TIMES
Please note that, production times quoted on our website are based on typical production schedules and cannot be guaranteed. If you require a product urgently, please contact us 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.
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.
