Our White Ink Kraft Business Cards are an earthy brown colour that brings an organic edge to print. We can also print light colours on Kraft by layering white ink underneath. With Kraft card being slightly textured, there are a couple of things you should consider when creating your artwork. Like many of the other creative stocks we offer, too much ink coverage and you’ll lose the appeal of the stock. There is also the issue that the ink does not always fill all of the dimples on the page, this is something to keep in mind when printing colour on top of white. Many customers like this effect, as it can create individually imperfect prints, which adds to the organic look of the Kraft card stock. Learn more about Printing White Ink on Kraft Card.

DO..
Take advantage of our digital white ink for a really sharp Kraft Business Card. Combining white ink and black ink also creates really unique results.
Nomad Kraft Business Cards can also be foil stamped on one side, white ink + foil stamping is a great way to experiment with this stock.
DON'T..
Flood coat Kraft stock. Like many of the other creative stocks we offer, utilising too much ink coverage compromises the appeal of the stock. There is also the issue that the ink does not always fill all of the dimples on the page (known as 'pitting'), this is something to keep in mind designing for light colours on top of white ink. Many customers like this effect, as it can create individual imperfect image, which adds to the organise look of the Kraft card stock. Learn more about Printing White Ink on Kraft Card.
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. Please note that, the natural brown colour of Kraft stock will impact printed colours.
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.
