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.

Add your personal touch

Make your matte business cards speak for your business with our variety of custom options. We have standard, premium and premium plus thicknesses available. 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.

Start designing

Our user-friendly design studio makes business card printing easier than ever. You can upload your own complete design, or you can pick from a wide range of templates, all tailored to specific industries, themes and uses.

Had to throw away - QR code didn't work and writing too small!!!
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for sharing your feedback on your Matte Business Cards. We are very sorry to hear that the QR code did not work and that the writing appeared too small, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Upon checking the QR code from the Design Edit page, the Edit URL section displayed a “potentially wrong URL” message. However, when pasting the URL into a new browser, the link directed correctly to the michelledfizzcity page. Scanning the QR code with a mobile phone using Google Lens also produced the same result, confirming that the URL is working accordingly. Regarding the writing being too small, here are a few helpful guidelines to improve readability and presentation for future designs: * Sans‑serif fonts provide clean, modern readability. * Serif fonts offer a more classic, professional look. * Font sizes between 10pt–16pt work best for important details, with 8pt as the minimum for smaller text. * Always check the preview and consider the size of the artwork details relative to the product dimensions before placing your order to ensure the design looks exactly as intended. If you would like additional support before completing a future order, 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 appreciate your input and will share your comments with the relevant team to strengthen design guidance and improve product quality moving forward. Thank you again for your feedback, and we look forward to assisting you further.
