What are plastic business cards?
Plastic business cards are made from polyester rather than conventional paper or card.
The 490 gsm material creates a substantial card that can withstand exposure to water, oil and frequent handling. It is also tearproof, helping the card remain usable when carried in pockets, bags, wallets, toolboxes or work vehicles.
Plastic cards can be printed with business logos, contact details, images and QR codes in much the same way as traditional business cards.
The key difference is the material’s resistance to conditions that could quickly damage ordinary card. So they're ideal for conventional business cards or other card uses such as loyalty cards.
Why choose plastic business cards?
Paper and card business cards are suitable for most everyday situations. However, they may become creased, torn or marked when exposed to moisture or demanding working conditions.
Plastic business cards offer additional protection.
Waterproof business cards
The polyester material is waterproof, making it useful for environments where cards may come into contact with rain, splashes or damp surfaces.
Tearproof material
The cards cannot be torn as easily as conventional card, making them better suited to frequent handling and storage in working equipment.
Oil-resistant surface
The material is oil resistant, making it suitable for workshops, garages, kitchens and other environments where ordinary cards may become marked.
A substantial 490 gsm weight
At 490 gsm, plastic business cards have a solid feel that helps them stand out from traditional paper alternatives.
Design tips for plastic business cards
Plastic cards may remain with customers for longer, so prioritise information that is unlikely to change.
Include your main contact details and avoid adding short-term offers unless the cards are being produced for a specific campaign.
Make sure text stands out clearly against the background. Dark blue, black and strong brand colours can work well on light backgrounds, while white text can be effective on darker designs.
Consider placing the following information in a clear hierarchy:
- Business name or logo
- Main service
- Telephone number
- Website or email address
- QR code or supporting details
