Start with use case
A sales team may need practical cards in larger quantities. A premium personal brand may need heavier stock or a cleaner finish.
Choose a finish that fits the design
Gloss can make colors pop, while matte can feel quieter and more refined. The best finish depends on brand style and how much text needs to stay readable.
Prepare card details
Include quantity, single-sided or double-sided printing, card size, finish preference, and whether artwork is ready.
