A smoothly coated classic

Polished and professional, matte finish business cards are always in style. Matte paper has been a customer favorite for years, and it’s easy to see why. The smooth, low-contrast finish reduces glare and deepens colors, making them a great option for readability and modern designs like black business cards.

You can also select a square shape or rounded corners to make your design stand out. For an ultra-eye-catching touch, try adding one of our special finishes, like metallic foil or embossed gloss.

The color is way off from the design. I ordered many times , I happy most of the times, but not this time.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for sharing your feedback on your Matte Business Cards order. We appreciate your comments regarding the color match and understand how important it is for your design to print as expected. We are sorry to hear that the colors did not align with your design this time. A few technical factors can sometimes influence how colors appear once printed compared to the digital preview. Matte paper can naturally soften tones, and the conversion from RGB (screen colors) to CMYK (print colors) may alter how certain shades reproduce. To help us determine whether this was due to these common variables or a production issue, we kindly ask that you share clear photos of the cards you received. This will allow our quality team to compare the printed result with your design file and identify the best solution. For future orders, preparing artwork in CMYK color mode can help achieve more accurate tones for print. Choosing glossy paper stock often produces brighter, more vivid results, especially for photo‑based designs, while using high‑resolution files ensures sharper details and richer colors. Adjusting the color mix, such as reducing the amount of Black (K), can also enhance vibrancy. If your request is time‑sensitive or you would prefer direct support, our Customer Support team is available at 1‑866‑207‑4955. You can also visit our Help Center for real‑time assistance: https://www.vistaprint.com/customer-care/help-center/. We truly value your input, as it helps us improve both our products and services. Thank you again for choosing VistaPrint, and we look forward to assisting you further to ensure your future orders reflect the quality you expect.

The font on the template and on the computer screen looked great. The physical cards. . . couldn't read the email address or phone number. Unable to use. Wouldn't recommend this template to others.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on the Matte Business Cards. We sincerely regret hearing that while the color is good, the font size of the email and number was hard to read. To help make this right, we have increased the size of the text and have processed a free replacement order for the cards. The order number will remain the same as the original order, and you can track the status of the replacement by going to your Order History under My Account. For best results in the future, we suggest that you download the "PDF proof" of your design before completing the order. This is available in the editing studio, in the upper left corner when you click on the product name. When viewed at 100%, it will show you what the document will look like when printed. We hope this helps.

Absolutely. You can choose from glossy finish business cards and a variety of others. Matte business cards have a smoother, non-reflective surface, sometimes described as silky or polished.
