I had used vistaprint a few years ago and thought it was okay. I just opened a new business and have been preparing my print marketing. Their website is very efficient and easy to use and customer service has been impeccable. Definitely a 5 star business!!!

I recently purchased clear business cards & worked with one of your design specialists on my company’s logo & layout, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. The specialist was professional, attentive, and helped bring my vision to life with great suggestions along the way. The final product turned out even better than I anticipated. The cards stand out & have already proven to be an excellent marketing tool for my business!

Not Good

I guess the preview really didn't tell me how this would look on clear plastic. I LOVED the preview. The actual card is illegible 😟

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thanks for your review submission. We’re sorry to hear the final product did not meet your expectations. Printing on clear plastic can sometimes affect visibility, especially if the design relies on lighter colors or lacks sufficient contrast. For future orders, we recommend using darker, high-contrast colors and avoiding very thin fonts when designing for clear materials. Adding a solid or semi-transparent background behind important text can also greatly improve readability. We've completed our checks and have emailed you details regarding a resolution that has been provided to you. We look forward to assisting with future products of interest.

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.
