Can’t-miss materials

Want to turn some heads? Our clear plastic business cards are visually stunning options. The added thickness, rounded corners and see-through materials are a great way to get noticed, make your contact info more memorable and even spark conversations. Plus, the durable plastic means your cards will last longer and stand up to repeated use – see below for some ideas on that front.

Lots of options

Beyond the unique appearance, the durable hard plastic opens up a lot of possibilities. These cards can go in and out of wallets as loyalty and membership cards. Add a QR code, and you’ve got a set of scannable smart cards for events. Or just give them to important business partners, so they’ve always got your info handy. You can also choose the thickness you want, with flexible and rigid plastic options available.

Not clear, frosted and opaque. . .
Sep 13, 2026 | Leonard B. | 🇺🇸 United States
As much as the cards look nice, they are not what I ordered. I ordered clear plastic and these came frosted and opaque.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
While we are happy to know the printing quality was satisfactory, we are sorry to hear that your business cards arrived frosted and opaque rather than the clear plastic finish you expected. To properly investigate this material discrepancy, please reply to this email with clear photos of the received business cards showing the opacity issue. Once we review the pictures, our support staff will gladly follow up to assist you with a proper resolution. If your request is urgent, and you need an immediate solution, please reach out to our Customer Support team via 1.866.207.4955.

Looks exactly as expected. Only wish they would give an option to print on the back too.

Clear Business Cards Aren't What I Thought

I think adding a double sided preview after uploading your custom graphic when it comes to the clear business cards would really help!

d transparent cards - got white background Instead
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback on the Clear Business Cards. We are sorry to hear that the card was printed with a white background instead of clear. From reviewing the image that was uploaded, it had a white background and was not transparent. In order for the cards to be clear, please note in the future that the background of your artwork must be transparent. Also, we offer the option to remove backgrounds in our editing studio (works on most designs). To help, we have taken action on your account, and a follow-up email with more details will be sent to you. We recommend editing your original artwork, removing the white background, and placing a new order. For graphic design help, we recommend our design services: www.vistaprint.com/design. We trust this was helpful to you.

Frequently asked questions

We can’t legally print any design that looks like an ID card, credit card or bank card. But loyalty or membership cards (without detailed personal information) are fine. Also, our clear business cards are not available with any type of “mag strip” – the black stripe on the back that card readers use.

Yes, you can. We also offer plastic business cards printed on solid white or frosted plastic.

There are definitely a few things to keep in mind. First, backside printing is not available with transparent business cards. Next, any area in your design that’s white will print as white, so be sure to check the preview before approving your design. And we also suggest avoiding full-bleed images or designs, since that’ll minimize the visual effect of the material.

The cards are thicker and have rounded edges, but the height and width are the same as a typical business card.

The plastic card printing process prevents us from adding special textures or finishes to the cards. However, you can use almost any type of design – bright colors look particularly good with the high-gloss shine.

They’re made using a PVC plastic blend, available in 2 thickness options. One is more rigid like a credit card, while the other is about a third thinner.
