Matt Laminated 450gsm Business Cards from Headline Printers in Havant

Gsm is the thickness of the material. 450gsm is the heaviest standard business card we offer, measuring approximately half a millimetre thick.

The standard UK business card size is 85 x 55mm, roughly the same size as a credit card. However, in a crowded market, some designers opt for unusual sizes and finishes, such as square or rounded corners to create a more unique greeting.

We also offer business cards in other sizes;

• 85 x 55mm.
• 55mm square.
• 85 x 55mm with Rounded Corners.

There are 3 main lamination types we use as standard on business cards, these are:

• Gloss – Dazzle with our Gloss Laminated cards, with a reflective shine that brightens your graphics, and creates vibrant colours. On a super thick 450gsm card, it’s water-resistant, and has a strong tactile grip.
• Matt – For a sophisticated finish, try our Matt Laminated cards. These cards are built to withstand the everyday wear-and-tear of life on the road. Its smooth finish brings out the lighter colours in the graphic, and allows for a softer image.
• Soft Touch – Some things have to be felt to be believed. Our Soft Touch cards have an astonishingly velvet finish. This card exudes class and sophistication, and is a must have for premium businesses.

Matt lamination is a clear ultra-thin layer of matt finish film that we adhere to both sides of the business card once printed. This adds a special texture to the card, protecting it from discolouration and fading.

Matt lamination has a more natural appearance than other laminations, offering a softer look by reducing contrast on darker colours.

Unfortunately not. Laminated paper is difficult to recycle as the paper cannot be separated from the lamination once applied.
