Cards were perfect, and came pretty quickly. May order some more!

Likely my fault

These definitely did not come out the way i wanted. I was hoping for a clear background but got white. and the VCARD QR Code looked more like just a gradient fill.

Fantastic Modern Look With An Edge!

I just recently had some clear plastic business cards printed for my graphic design work. When they arrived last jweek. . . . WOW! The printing is flawless. And the quality is amazing. I will have a lot more confidence handing this out at the end of an interview than I did with my regular cards (which still look great). I recently rebranded, and I am so glad I made the leap the clear cards. If you are looking for your business cards to scream "Hey, I am a forward-thonking creating person," then I highly recommend Vista Print's clear plastic cards!

Cards are thicker than other

Cards are thicker than other plastic cards, which is a plus, but unnecessary tbh. the experience overall ordering wasn't that great. 4 years ago when I ordered through a competitor the experience felt better, with personalized questions and suggestions on how i would want the print job to come out. since these are clear cards, you want the colors to show on both sides, even if the lettering will be backwards. but with this one, the print on the back is white instead of the actual colors used, so it throws it off a little. Vista Print has historically been a great company, and I have used them for other different types of print jobs. I'll likely use them again. But not for clear business cards.

Frequently asked questions

To ensure you get a clear background, make sure to upload your design file as an image with a transparent background (PNG recommended). White or colored backgrounds in your file will be printed as is, and this will overwrite any areas you might want to be transparent.

We can’t legally print any design that looks like an ID card, credit card or bank card. But loyalty or membership cards (without detailed personal information) are fine. Also, our clear business cards are not available with any type of “mag strip” – the black stripe on the back that card readers use.

Yes, you can. We also offer plastic business cards printed on solid white or frosted plastic.

There are definitely a few things to keep in mind. First, backside printing is not available with transparent business cards. Next, any area in your design that’s white will print as white, so be sure to check the preview before approving your design. And we also suggest avoiding full-bleed images or designs, since that’ll minimize the visual effect of the material.

The cards are thicker and have rounded edges, but the height and width are the same as a typical business card.

The plastic card printing process prevents us from adding special textures or finishes to the cards. However, you can use almost any type of design – bright colors look particularly good with the high-gloss shine.

They’re made using a PVC plastic blend, available in 2 thickness options. One is more rigid like a credit card, while the other is about a third thinner.
