BUSINESS CARDS
Traditional paper business cards tend to deteriorate more and more as they are passed on from one person to another and this is where plastic business cards come in! Business cards provide people with fundamental details such as your name and contact details, but what many businesses seem to forget is that they can also say a lot about your brand.

WHY PLASTIC BUSINESS CARDS?
They say first impressions last, so don’t let your potential future customers down by providing a limp paper based card. Open your wallet, what do you see (we know it’s depressing) – shinny, colourful, durable plastic cards or worn and tattered paper cards?
Business cards will help you with brand awareness, potential referrals and show that you are investing in your future clients, because long after your competitors cards have begun to look scruffy and illegible your plastic business cards will still look bright and engaging.
Business cards are printed single or dual sided on a RAW sheet of Core. The transparent overlay film is then placed over the raw material to protect your high quality print – almost like a sandwich effect. Once laminated the card will be silky smooth, tear and water resistant and will prevent chipping and cracking along the edge of the cards.
