Painted edge business cards (also known as colored edge business cards) add a surprising appeal to your card. When you add one of 6 bold colors to the sides of your card, it’s easier to get noticed. And with paper that’s about twice as thick as standard cards, the flash of color sticks out even more. Painted edge business cards add dimension to your design and help you make a memorable first impression.

VistaPrint offers Painted Edge Business Cards design templates in assorted styles.

It didn’t bleed all the way to the edge so it looks bad plus it’s small so hard to read.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We're sorry to hear they didn't meet your expectations. We understand your concern regarding the print not extending fully to the edge, as well as the text appearing too small to read comfortably. We've shared the photos with our quality team so they can review the print quality. We'd also like to mention that our website provides customers with the opportunity to carefully review their design, including the text, layout, and overall appearance, before completing their purchase. Based on the design submitted with the order, the text size and layout were approved prior to printing. However, we'll still review the reported issue with the edge printing, as the finished product should accurately reflect the approved design.

The business cards exceeded my expectations. The print quality is excellent, the text is crisp and easy to read, and I really like the premium thickness and feel of the cards. They look professional and make a great first impression. I’m very happy with my purchase and will definitely be ordering another batch for my personal training business. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions

Sure! When you select an edge color, you’ll see a HEX code by the name. This is a universal identifier that you can use to match other elements of your design to the edge color. Just copy the code and add it to the color panel in our studio or any other design software.

Please note: Our gold-edge business cards feature a metallic finish. You can match the gold color on the front or back design, but the shiny effect is only available for the edge.

Our painted edge cards have color on the sides, top and bottom – all the “thin” dimensions that normally don’t have customizable colors.

Right now, you can pick from red, gold, black, blue, yellow and teal.

The HEX codes for these colors are the following:
Blue - #0083CA
Teal - #0099B1
Black - #231F20
Gold - #C48A10
Red - #ED1B2F
Yellow - #FFF200

These cards are 32pt (equal to .032 of an inch). To give you a frame of reference, each point (pt) is equal to .001 of an inch.

Sorry, but those options aren’t available with these cards. The special way they’re made doesn’t allow for those custom shapes.

Yes, the matte laminate makes them fairly easy to write on with any pencil, pen or marker.
