Very Disappointed I used the design team at VistaPrint to assist with creating my business cards, and unfortunately the final product is not usable. The text is extremely difficult to read, and the clear business cards — while they sound like a creative idea — simply do not work well in practice. Another major issue is the approval process. Before printing, customers are asked to approve the design, but with the transparent cards it is almost impossible to accurately review the final appearance on screen. The PDF proof does not properly show the transparency effect, so what you approve digitally does not reflect how the card will actually look once printed. Overall, very frustrating and disappointing experience.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how disappointing it must have been, and completely appreciate your concerns regarding the readability of the text and the final appearance of the clear business cards. After reviewing the design, we noted that the selected text color was relatively light and did not provide sufficient contrast against the transparent material, which affected the overall readability once printed. Transparent business cards can produce a unique visual effect, but achieving strong contrast is especially important to ensure the information remains clear and legible in real-world use. For future orders, we strongly recommend carefully reviewing both the preview mode and the PDF proof prior to placing an order, as these tools help provide the closest possible representation of the final print outcome and assist in setting clear expectations before production begins. Furthermore, we recommend considering darker text colors or adjusted design elements to improve visibility and contrast on transparent materials. You may wish to make the necessary edits to the artwork, and once updated, feel free to reorder at your convenience. We truly value your feedback, and your comments regarding the proofing experience for transparent cards will also be shared internally for further review and improvement. Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to call us at 1-866-207-4955.
Please make sure you look at them before you give them out

The black print isn’t as prominent as I thought it would be. I would recommend using colored images if possible. I didn’t realize the black would be so dull

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.
