Add an unexpected pop of color.

  • Thick 32pt paper with a colored edge
  • 6 edge colors available
  • Smooth, matte laminate

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.

Great cards just takes a

Sep 5, 2025 | Jackie W. | Verified Buyer
Great cards just takes a while to ship.

Beautiful presentation for a design business

Sep 3, 2025 | Alex V. | Verified Buyer
I own a design studio that does branding and design. My company's brand colors are black and white with a teal accent that was almost identical to the one offered for the teal edge color. The cards took a little bit longer than normal cards because the painted edges have to dry before shipping but the wait is well worth it. The finish is very high-end, smooth, and the thickness of the cards make them superior to other options on VistaPrint. I highly recommend them.

great quality, great price

Looks nothing like proof

Sep 3, 2025 | Dayna O. | Verified Buyer
I have a love hate relationship with VistaPrint. Their print quality is great but there is a serious disconnect between what your proof looks like and what your printed product looks like. Their printers/designers need to get their acts together and get the printed product to look EXACTLY like the proof. So frustrating. I order 6-10 items a year and maybe 1 of them is right.

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.
