  • 6 edge colors available

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.

Eye Catching Design meets Function

I have been using the painted edge business card design for years for team business cards. We always get compliments on them and I know it makes a memorable impact at a critical time in the sales pipeline. The thicker paper ensures that they will hold onto our contact information and the personalization of a blue (or any color) edge gives it that additional pop you want when making a first impression that counts.

Uneven Cut

The cut was off and it is very obvious that it is not straight. I made sure everything was at 0 degrees before submitting. I think the process of creation, review and submission is easy and clear; but ultimately the end product is what counts. For the price and the wait time, I expected the final product to be of excellence. I am very disappointed and embarrassed to hand out my business card.

second time ordering specifically this cards: durable, heavyweight, so pretty! love the painted edge - that’s a cool thing to play with once designing style of the card itself!

Very Cool Looking

I really like these. The edge color is bright and beautiful. The weight is great too. My only gripe is that the color was a bit off. I'm a designer, so I know that colors can shift, but the color was a bit more shifted than I would have liked.

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.
