Glossy Business Cards
Glossy Business Cards
Make your brand shine — literally. Glossy business cards put a light-catching gloss coating over thick 14pt cardstock, making colors richer, photos crisper, and your card the one that stands out in the stack.
- Glossy, light-catching coated finish
- Rich color and sharp photo reproduction
- Sturdy 14pt cardstock
- Standard or rounded corners
- Standard and slim card sizes
- As fast as next business day
Sleek, vibrant & professional
The gloss AQ coating gives your card a smooth, reflective surface that makes every color pop — which is why glossy cards are the go-to for realtors, salons, photographers, and any brand built on visuals. Headshots stay sharp, brand colors stay bold, and the card feels clean and polished in the hand. If your design uses photography or bright color, gloss is the finish that does it justice.
Make them yours
Choose the classic 3.5″ × 2″ size, or slim it down with 3.5″ × 1.75″ and 3.5″ × 1.5″ formats that stand out by shape alone. Print one side or both, square off the corners or round them — rounded corners resist dog-earing and feel noticeably smoother when handed over. Order as few as 250 or up to 10,000 as your networking demands grow.
Upload, price, and order in minutes
Pick your quantity, configure your options, and upload your print-ready design — our live pricing shows your total instantly, with no waiting on quotes. Your cards are printed in vivid full color and shipped fast.

Glossy business cards FAQ
Are glossy business cards good for photos and bright colors?
Yes — that's their specialty. The gloss coating increases contrast and color saturation, so photos and bold designs look their best.
Can I write on a glossy business card?
The gloss coating resists pen ink. If you need a writable back (for appointments or notes), check out our Writable Business Cards — glossy front, uncoated back.
What's the difference between glossy and high-gloss (UV)?
Gloss AQ is a bright, smooth shine; our High-Gloss Business Cards use a UV coating for an even more intense, glass-like finish.

Everything clear before you order.
Every order gets a free file review before printing. Here's what to know about specs, artwork, proofing, and delivery.
Specifications
Quantity: 250, 500, 750, 1000, 2500, 5000, 10000, 15000, 20000, 25000. Configuration: Standard
Artwork requirements
Upload print-ready files as PDF (preferred), AI, EPS, JPG, or PNG at 300 DPI in CMYK color. Extend backgrounds 0.125" past the trim edge (bleed) and keep text and logos at least 0.125" inside it (safe area). Every file is checked by our team before production — if something's off, we'll contact you before anything prints.
Proofing and production
Production time starts after your artwork passes file review — not at checkout. If your order requires proof approval, we'll send the proof and the production clock starts once you approve it. Turnaround options for each product are shown in the configurator above.
Shipping and delivery
Delivery time is production time plus transit. Once your order ships you'll get a tracking number by email. Transit depends on your address and the shipping method selected at checkout — larger format items may ship separately from small-format printing.

Answers about artwork, production and ordering.
How fast are glossy business cards printed?
Choose next-business-day production when you're in a hurry, or the standard 2–3 business day turnaround. Production begins after your artwork passes our free file review.
What sizes do glossy business cards come in?
Three sizes: the classic 3.5″ × 2″, plus slim 3.5″ × 1.75″ and skinny 3.5″ × 1.5″ formats that stand out by shape alone. All print on 14pt stock with the same gloss AQ coating.
Can glossy business cards be printed double-sided?
Yes — choose one side (4/0) or both sides (4/4) in full color. The gloss coating covers the printed faces, and you can add rounded corners for a smoother feel.
