Several high-quality paper options

Business cards are not only viewed, but also touched. By choosing a paper pleasant to the touch for business cards, you give the customer a professional impression, and that you invest in the marketing of yourself. When receiving a business card, the customer may think how good the card feels, and a positive mood helps the listener to absorb the information they receive.

Our standard papers include:

• Matte 300g, matte paper suitable for general use,
• Silk 300g, semi-gloss paper suitable for photos and bright colours
• Postcard 260g, postcard paper which is semi-glossy on one side and uncoated matte paper on the other.

Standard papers are ideal for business cards that are distributed in larger quantities.

Among the ecological options, you can find uncoated and unbleached matte papers:

• Eco Brown 275g, brown paper that is untreated and suitable for simple graphics,
• Eco Matte 300g, unbleached and slightly greyish cardboard, which is made of recycled materials and is well suited for all kinds of designs.

These are perfect for business cards if your brand or business is strongly related to responsibility and being ecological, and you want to communicate this in the form of a business card.

Our premium options include:

• Matte High Grade 350g, high-quality and smooth matte paper suitable for all kinds of designs,
• White Textured 300g, textured and bleached matte paper suitable for simple designs,
• Cream 300g, light cream-coloured dense matte paper, suitable for all kinds of designs,
• Black 270g, black-dyed matte cardboard suitable for simple designs,
• Supergold 250g, uncoated gold coloured pearl cardboard suitable for simple designs,
• Metallic 250g, uncoated silver coloured pearl cardboard suitable for simple designs.

These options are perfect if you want your business cards to have a more special look or give the impression of a luxury product.

Lamination, foiling and rounding corners

In addition to the size, our business cards can be personalised in different ways:

• With lamination, you ensure that your business card lasts for a long time and gives a good impression. Lamination also gives the business card a sturdy feel and makes the surface pleasant to the touch. This is a good option for premium customers instead of mass distribution.
• The foiling is like a gloss effect printed on the product. With foiling, you can make your business card feel valuable or, depending on the graphics, you can make them realistic. Our new foiling device enables even thin foiling, so you can unleash your creativity! MEB has foils in gold and silver and they are suitable for text, graphics or the entire card.
• Rounding the corners removes sharp corners from the business card, so you don't have to worry about them wearing out. It also becomes more special and at the same time more personal, making it easier to remember. It can also be a brand choice.

Variable Data Printing

The choice of varying information enables business cards to be individualised. With this option, you can print unique elements on business cards that change from card to card, for example discount codes. Individualisation is done by sending a table file, i.e. an Excel table, and its information must be clearly categorised, and that the changing information of one card can be seen horizontally.

Before preparing the table, try out the design with the longest possible name or variable so you are aware of your limitations. This avoids a situation where, for example, the design is optimised using a shorter name, but the longer name does not set in correctly.

In the case of discount codes, the table should look something like this, because only the codes are variables.

Sample card

If you want to try out your business cards before mass production or you are not sure how the business card design will look when printed and in different perspectives, you can order a sample!

You can feel the sample card in your hands and then ask us to start mass production, or you can send us a new version of the design and try again.

You can either pick up the model from our shop in Kamppi Sähkötalo or get it mailed to your office or home address.

Choose the production time that suits your needs

At MEB, we offer a wide range of production times with different benefits! These vary from same-day express production to normal production and, for larger print quantities, to Super Value production, which enables even more affordable print costs:

• If you are on the move at the last minute and need to get the print products quickly, we have options depending on the degree of urgency. Choose the same-day or 24-hour Rush Service
• If the order is not in a hurry, Fast Digital is our normal production time and the duration is 2-3 working days from the order.
• If you want significant savings on printing and the print quantities are large, you can choose the Super Value production! Super Value production takes longer than others, but you get significant savings on larger print quantities.
