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.

Matt Business Cards. . . 500 for around $30 USD

The cards arrived quickly and look good! I wish that there was a more accurate way to view the exact placement of the photo into the card layout frame and micro movement of the photo in the layout frame. Overall the results were good, but wish it were a little clearer about the real edge vs the possible edge and what the difference is. . . defined. . . . like 'this area will definitely be printed on the card' and 'this area at the edge may or may not be fully printed on the card.

Everything came faster then expected which worked out great for me! Business cards and tags look way better in person! Stamp works great and the holder was as expected.

Not fully matte

I did not expect for one side of the cards to be glossy and the other side to be matte. However, the printing turned out beautifully.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thank you for sharing your feedback on your Matte Business Cards. We truly appreciate your input and understand how important it is for the finish to meet your expectations. Upon review, the front of the cards has a matte finish while the back has a satin finish. To clarify: * Matte: Completely non‑reflective and flat, ideal for reducing glare, resisting fingerprints, and ensuring readability for text‑heavy designs. * Satin: Sometimes called “silk” or “semi‑gloss,” satin has a subtle sheen that is slightly reflective but smoother and less shiny than high‑gloss. In certain lighting conditions, this coating can create a slight glare on the ink surface. * VistaPrint specifics: Our matte option is designed as a low‑glare, non‑reflective product with a smooth texture, while satin provides a touch of luster for balance on the back. You can write on our matte cards, but different markers or pens may give varied results. If you prefer a material that is easier to write on, we recommend our uncoated business cards. We understand your preference for a fully matte finish on both sides, and we regret that this wasn’t the outcome you expected. Your feedback will be shared with our product and quality teams to review finish consistency and explore improvements in how we present product details, ensuring greater clarity for future orders. If you have further questions or need assistance, our Customer Support team is available at 1‑866‑207‑4955, or you can visit our Help Center for real‑time support: https://www.vistaprint.com/customer-care/help-center/. We truly value your feedback and look forward to helping you achieve the results you expect with your next order. Thank you again for choosing VistaPrint. We remain committed to providing products and service experiences that meet and exceed your expectations.
