Not what I ordered

Verified BuyerResponse from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused, as your business cards were printed with a single-sided design instead of the double-sided version you expected. We completely understand the confusion this may have caused and are happy to assist. After carefully reviewing your order, we found that the file submitted contained only a one-sided design. To help avoid similar issues in the future, we recommend using the on-screen preview and downloading a PDF proof before placing your order. These tools provide a clear and accurate view of how your design will appear once printed. You can learn more about these features here: https://www.vistaprint.com/customer-care/help-center/360052259371/?querycat=helpcenter_search_dropdown&q=pdf%20proof
We hope this guidance is helpful and look forward to supporting you with your future projects.

Frequently asked questions
Foil can come in multiple colors, depending on your design you can even have gold foil business cards. For thickness, you have a few options. Standard paper (14pt), and premium paper (16pt). Each point (pt) is equal to .001 of an inch, to give you a frame of reference. You can also pick either glossy or matte finish with either paper.
Yes, here are a few pointers to help you out:
- Since the foil is reflective, make sure any foil-printed text is 10pt or larger to help with readability.
- To maximize the effect of the foil and make certain things stand out, try to limit how much foil you use.
- We’ll make the foil color match the original color of your design as closely as possible – bright colors and high-contrast designs usually look best.
The metallic foil is flat. We do offer raised foil business cards, if you’re looking for a more textured, 3D look.
Great question – and the answer is a bit different depending on whether you upload your own design or go with one of our templates.
When you start customizing one of our templates, you can click on the “Finishes” option to see where you can add foil to your design.
As you go through the process of uploading your own design, you’ll see an option to add foil to your text, your images or both. And if you’re not sure when the foil should go, there’s even an option to have our designers choose for you!
For uploads, the foil sections will be the same color as they are in your original design. For templates, you can change the color of different text, images and patterns you’ve added foil to.
For complete information about card dimensions, check out our business card size guide.
No, our printing process for metallic business cards only allows for foil to go on the front of the cards. However, full-color printing is available on the backside of the card for an additional charge.
Unfortunately, we can’t offer foil accents on square business cards. However, we are happy to offer foil on rounded corner cards! You can find that option in the choices above.
When you’re designing your metallic business cards (even if you’ve chosen an existing template), you can click on text or images and you’ll see an option that lets you turn the special finish on or off. Note that you may not always have this option for all text and images.
If you’re uploading your own artwork, and you want a specific area to be metallic, make sure to upload that part separately then click “on” to activate the metallic finish. For design assistance. And if you’re having any trouble, you’ll always see an option onscreen to reach out to us for help.
