I got the Pearl Business Cards because I wanted something a little bit nicer. The cards came out nicer than what I expected. They have a great texture and visiuals for my card design, its thin but durable, I had some other cards printed out locally at stapels because I needed them the same day, which it was the same day but they weren't nearly as nice. Its a confidence booster when sharing my card. I also added a my own QR code to my card design which came out great but doesnt take up the whole card. I bought 500 if I run out ill deffenitly get more

I recently ordered the Pearlescent businrss cards, a favorite of mine. I love the design UI even though I do most of the designing and upload it. The levels of customization are really convenient and it allows me to do last minute tweaks with ease.

My cards and other print material came in before the due date, that was a bonus for me. The print items came out as expected with out any surprises. I was a little worried that my logo wasn't a high enough res but everything came out great.

Frequently asked questions

This paper works best with lighter-colored designs. Rich pops of a darker accent color print beautifully, but if your design is mostly black or dark grey, you’re less likely to see the full shimmer effect. And if your design uses photographs, you may want to consider a different paper stock.

Out pearl business cards are made using a 16pt premium paper. Each point (pt) is equal to .001 of an inch, to give you a frame of reference.
