Textured Business Cards

Product Description

Frequently Asked Questions

Rives Shetland has a heavily textured, almost embossed surface — one of the most distinctively tactile stocks available for business cards. Textured Uncoated has a subtler, refined texture — premium and distinctive without being as pronounced as Rives Shetland. Rives Shetland suits creative, luxury and design-led brands. Textured Uncoated suits professional services businesses that want quality and sophistication without an overtly textured feel.

Yes — textured business cards are available in standard 85×55mm or square 55×55mm format. The square format is a distinctive alternative to the standard size that immediately sets your card apart — it won't fit into a standard business card holder, which means people are more likely to keep it somewhere visible rather than filing it away.

Textured stocks are particularly well suited to clean, minimal designs — the texture of the stock itself adds visual and tactile interest, meaning your card doesn't need to rely on complex artwork to make an impression. A simple logo, name and contact details on Rives Shetland will often outperform a heavily designed card on a standard stock.

Standard business cards are printed on coated or uncoated stock with a smooth surface. Textured business cards are printed on stocks with a distinctive surface texture that is immediately noticeable to the touch. The tactile quality of a textured card makes it more memorable and communicates a higher level of quality and attention to detail. See our standard business cards and economy business cards for smooth stock alternatives.

For maximum impact, Rives Shetland stock with a clean, minimal design and a single colour foil element is one of the most memorable business card combinations available. The heavily textured stock and metallic foil create a card that engages two senses simultaneously — touch and sight.
