Uncoated (All Business cards)

Kick up your first impression with clean, uncoated business cards.

Choose between a thick (100lb) or ultra-thick (120lb) uncoated cover stock. Both of which have a natural paper feel with zero glare. This type of paper gives black and coloured inks a softer look which makes them ideal for modern, minimal designs. Beyond their pro look, uncoated business cards are easy to write on. They also work as appointment reminders, loyalty cards, and personal notes.

What’s the difference between coated vs. uncoated business cards?

It really comes down to the vibe, texture, and how you plan to use them—both options are total rockstars on their own:

Coated Business Cards: Get a protective sealant layered over the paper. It locks in the ink, protects against daily wear and tear, makes rich colours and photography pop with extra vibrancy, and gives the card a smooth, polished finish.
Uncoated Business Cards: Leave the heavy paper stock completely raw with no added coating, letting the natural, organic texture of the paper fibres shine through. They offer a glare-free, tactile feel and are the absolute best choice if you need to write anything on the printed material If you want more saturated graphics and maximum ink protection, go coated. If you want a natural feel you can write on, go uncoated.

Uncoated finish vs. matte business cards: What is the main difference?

The main distinction comes down to texture and writeability. Matte business cards have a smooth, sealed protective surface applied over the ink. Uncoated business cards leave the heavy paper stock raw, giving them a subtle, natural texture that readily absorbs ink from ballpoint pens, pencils, or rubber stamps (without smudging!).

Can I write on uncoated business cards?

Yes, absolutely! Uncoated business cards are the absolute best choice if you need to write on your cards. Because the paper is unsealed, ink from ballpoint pens, gel pens, and pencils absorbs immediately into the paper without smearing—making them ideal for appointment cards, loyalty passes, or writing quick personal notes to contacts or clients.

What stock and printing options are available for uncoated business cards?

Uncoated business cards are available in premium 100lb or a heavy 120lb uncoated cover stock. You can choose single-sided or double-sided full-colour printing depending on your business card design.

What types of brands are uncoated business cards best for?

Uncoated business cards are best for minimalist branding, clean black-and-white designs, appointment cards, loyalty passes, modern luxury aesthetics, and any layout where easy writeability is essential.
