Matte Business Cards

What artwork files do you accept?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are best for the sharpest results. High-resolution PNG or JPG files also work well, provided they're clear and at least 300 DPI at the final print size.

What is vector artwork?
Vector files are created using paths rather than pixels, which means they can be scaled to any size without losing quality. This gives you sharper prints and cleaner results compared to raster images like JPG or PNG.

Can you fix or set up my artwork?
We offer a "Make My File Print Ready" service that includes resizing, adding bleed, and preparing your file for production — with no changes to your actual artwork. If your design needs modifications or corrections, please contact us for a custom quote.

Will I see a proof before printing?
When placing your order, you'll select whether you have print-ready files, need file setup assistance, or need a new file created. Based on your selection, you'll see how many design proofs are included. If you have print-ready artwork and request a proof, we'll send you a digital proof for approval. We won't make adjustments to your artwork unless you've selected one of our file setup options. If your file isn't set up correctly, we'll notify you before proceeding.

What is a proof?
A proof is a digital preview of exactly how your business cards will look when printed. It shows the final design, colours, and sizing, allowing you to review and approve everything before production begins.

When will I receive my proof?
Your proof will be emailed within 24–48 hours of placing your order. Please check your junk mail folder in case it's filtered there. If you haven't received it within this timeframe, contact us directly. No work will move into production until the proof is approved via return email.

What if my logo or image isn't high enough quality?
We'll assess your file and let you know if the quality is suitable for printing. If your artwork is too low resolution, we'll advise you and may be able to help recreate or source a better quality version for a small fee.

What are Premium Matte Business Cards made from?
Premium Matte Business Cards are printed on 420gsm artboard with a matte celloglaze finish applied to one or both sides. The matte coating gives the cards a silky smooth, tactile feel with a refined, low-glare appearance that lets your design speak for itself.

What size are the cards?
Business cards are the standard 90 x 55mm size.

Are both sides printed?
Yes — Premium Matte Business Cards are printed in full colour on both sides.

What is celloglaze?
Celloglaze is a thin plastic film laminate applied over the printed surface to protect and enhance the finish. Matte celloglaze gives a smooth, non-reflective appearance that reduces glare and fingerprints while adding durability and a premium tactile quality to the surface.

Can I choose matte on one side only?
Yes — you can choose matte celloglaze on the front only, or on both the front and back. One side matte is a popular choice if you want the back to remain writable or to combine finishes across the two sides.

Can I write on matte celloglaze cards?
No — the matte celloglaze coating is not compatible with standard pen or rubber stamps. If you need cards that can be written on, see our Starter Business Cards printed on uncoated artboard.

How do Premium Matte Cards compare to Premium Gloss Cards?
Both are printed on 420gsm artboard with celloglaze coating, but the finish is quite different in feel and appearance. Gloss celloglaze gives a high-shine, reflective look that makes colours appear vibrant and vivid. Matte celloglaze gives a smooth, non-reflective finish with a sophisticated, understated aesthetic. The choice comes down to the look and feel that best suits your brand.

How do Premium Matte Cards compare to Starter Cards?
Premium Matte Cards are heavier (420gsm vs 310gsm), have a smooth coated finish for a more premium feel, and offer better surface protection. Starter Cards are uncoated, lighter, more affordable, and can be written on or stamped.

How long does it take to produce Premium Matte Business Cards?
Business cards are shipped within 7 business days from artwork upload or approval.

Can you rush my order if it's urgent?
Yes! Please contact us directly to discuss your timeline and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.

Who do you use for shipping?
We use Australia Post for all our deliveries, ensuring reliable and trackable shipping across Australia.

How long will delivery take once my order ships?
Delivery times depend on your location and the Australia Post service used. Standard delivery typically takes 2–6 business days for metro areas and 3–10 business days for regional areas. You'll receive tracking information once your order is dispatched.

Do you offer express shipping?
Yes, express shipping options are available through Australia Post. If you need your cards urgently, contact us directly and we can arrange both expedited production and express shipping to meet your deadline.

If I order multiple different products will my entire order arrive together?
If you order multiple different products, they may be dispatched separately as each item is completed. This means you might receive your order in multiple packages at different times. Each dispatch will be sent with tracking information so you can monitor all your deliveries.
