See details

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.

Wow

Aug 14, 2025 | Beau B. | Verified Buyer
What great cards, the thickness and color on the edge give my cards personality. Where other business cards will get lost amongst the rest, these stand out.

Nice painted edge cards.

Soft, smooth and thick, these painted edge business cards are nice. Watch out for the printing brightness if you're highlighting words with a black border, it will lower the brightness significantly.

Nice but . . .

Very nice cards but the blue background seems washed out. Not as sharp as it appeared in their on-line example.

Eye-Catching

The painted edge is bright and eye-catching. Business cards will never go out of style, and this one ups it. My card can easily be identified in a stack of business cards someone gets from an event.

Love My New Painted Edge Business Cards

These painted edge business cards are a bit sturdier, professional, & look really nice!!! The representative was so very patient & helpful ~ please thank her for me. She made the process so much easier:) Vista Print has been my “go-to” for the last several years. Highly recommend them!!!

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.
