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.

Excellent customer service

The representative worked with me on the phone to make sure the period looked exactly like what I imagined.

Great quality, but too dark

I love the quality of these cards, but online I couldn't tell that they were too dark to read. I would have hoped that someone with VP would have reached out and told me. Even though this is a huge business, and it's my responsibility, they are the experts.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We are glad to hear that you are happy with the overall quality of your painted edge business cards, however we are sorry that the final result appeared too dark to read as expected. Upon reviewing your design, we noted that the text colour had limited contrast against the chosen background, which can make readability difficult once printed. To help set clear expectations for the final outcome, we strongly recommend carefully reviewing both the preview mode and the PDF proof prior to placing an order, as these tools provide the most accurate representation of how colours and contrast will appear in print. Furthermore, please note that our printing process is fully automated, and orders are produced exactly as submitted, without manual design adjustments or checks. For future orders, you may wish to edit the artwork with stronger colour contrast to improve clarity and visibility. You are welcome to make these adjustments and reorder at your convenience. We appreciate your understanding and the opportunity to clarify this for you.

Poor quality control and extremely delayed shipping

I ordered business cards and it took nearly a month for the cards to ship. When they finally arrived they were completely off center and essentially unusable. Very disappointed. I have used vista print in the past and had great experience previous times. But again, very disappointed.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We appreciate you sharing this with us. We’re sorry to hear about both the delay and the print issues with your business cards. For future orders, we recommend utilizing the digital proof option that's available to you from the design studio to check alignment carefully before approval, which can help catch centering issues ahead of time. We have completed our checks and have emailed you information related to the resolution that has been provided to you. If you have any future product or design-related queries, let us know. We're here to help.

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.
