I have a good idea what I want for my next rev. business card, but holding the samples in my hand was immensely helpful as I felt and looked over finishes, ink take, clarity of printing, foil and flourishes. . . it helped me feel confident I'm going to be pleased with the final appearance of my new business cards.

Look great. Down to 2 options to pick for my business

Great selection and options

Aug 26, 2025 | April R. | Verified Buyer
Each card is labeled with the type of paper (thickness and finish), font size, and style. So I am able to determine what type I want to get and customize the cards how I like it. Even my partner saw and felt the cards and decided next time he orders new cards he will get through VP because the quality is just different.
