Plastic Business Card Printing

Plastic Business Card Printing

You’ve arrived! Welcome to the world of professionals who recognize the intrinsic value in plastic cards. Business card printing has evolved over the past decade with advanced custom printing options that are both memorable and engaging! The average corporate business card needs a boost to be competitive. Entrée, the plastic business card! They look great and last longer than their cardstock counterparts.


The durability of plastic is perfect for industries that need waterproof or heavy-duty options. Companies that operate out of high humidity regions are also key candidates to take advantage of plastic business cards.

 

Anyone who wants to build a memorable business card will benefit from the diversity and quality offered with a plastic business card. We can customize your plastic cards in numerous ways. Custom printing options include:

 
  • Translucent Plastic Business Cards: Clear cards that incorporate solid-color splash designs are dynamic and grab attention.
  • Unique Identifier Codes: Printing your cards with coupon codes, which double as identifiers, allow you to track results. We also offer barcoding.
  • Variable Data Cards: We offer the ability to print varying information on your plastic cards, including any sequential numbering.
  • Custom Shapes: Choosing an unusual shape can increase the efficacy of your business card.
  • Tipped Plastic Card Printing: Tipping refers to the color that you would like if you were to have your cards embossed (raised numbers or letters as seen on a credit card). We offer tipping in gold, silver or black.
  • Unique Finishes: We can polish off your card with foil stamping or a nice matte finish.
  • Writable Options: Do you want a signature block or the option to write on any portion of the card? No problem! Our matte finish is pen receptive.
  • Magnetic Strips: We can provide gift cards and other load options with our magnetic strip feature.

Designing Plastic Business Cards

Plastic business cards are a durable way to showcase your brand. Here are some tips for designing with plastic:

  • Our plastic business cards come in two sizes: standard credit card size (3.375 x 2.125 inches) and standard business card size (3.5 x 2 inches). The credit card size is larger and can hold more information, but the standard business card size looks and feels more like a traditional business card.
  • Our standard plastic cardstocks come in 20 mil and 30 mil thicknesses, but we can also print on other, custom thicknesses.
  • Design your business cards so they’re uncluttered and the most important information can be gleaned at a glance. We recommend a minimum of 8pt type.
  • The only type of font that can embossed on a plastic card is called OCR Standard. You’ve seen this font a lot – it’s the font that is used for numbers and letters on your credit card.
clear plastic business card example

Using Plastic Business Cards

Business cards are a staple at networking events, but plastic cards have many uses beyond the traditional meet and greets.

 

Because they’re so durable, plastic cards are perfect for slipping into a wallet. Use them for businesses that people might need to call in a pinch, like mechanics and insurance agents. Plastic is also a good choice for take-along rewards cards and membership cards – just add a barcode or magnetic strip and you’re ready to go. Need to write on the card? A writable surface can be added for signatures or anything else you’d want to write.

 

Plastic business cards can happily withstand a sudden rainstorm or a dunk in the ocean. That makes them perfect for beach businesses, boating and skiing, and people who work outdoors.

 

Clear plastic cards make a striking statement that people will marvel over, holding the card up and peering through for a closer look. We print your design as usual, but the “white space” remains clear or frosted for a see through effect. Use clear cards to make a design statement or suggest something about your product – like clear windows on a window cleaning service card.

 

Plastic also pairs beautifully with other special effects. Cards can be foil stamped for a shiny glimmer, or die cut to produce intriguing shapes. Imagine a music store’s plastic business card with silver accents and a punch out guitar pick that customers can really use.

 

Plastic business cards are a unique and sturdy way to keep your business on people’s minds and in their wallets. When you combine them with special effects, plastic business cards become truly noteworthy.

 
Plastic business cards offer many benefits and are worth the investment.
  • Incredible Durability
  • 100% Waterproof
  • Memorable
  • Unlimited Versatility
  • Impressive Longevity
  • Conveys Originality and Quality

Horizontal Small Catalog Design

Horizontal Small Catalog Design

This 8.5 x 5.5 small size catalog exhibits unique design, and quality execution

small size catalog coverWant to create a printed piece that’s easy to handle and looks flawless? Check out the Thomas Nygard Gallery’s latest catalog for some marketing inspiration.

It can be difficult to design a concise catalog that is truly impactful, yet handy and ergonomic. You want the customer to experience the full appeal of the product while not feeling overwhelmed by bulky media. In this featured piece Printing for Less created for the Thomas Nygard Gallery in Bozeman, Montana, all of the important details are included, but the smaller catalog format brings a fresh and unique feel to the piece. The result is an 8.5 X 5.5 catalog that maximizes space on each page – leaving the viewer with a piece that is convenient, portable, and stylish.

Think you need a full sized catalog to be outstanding? Think again!


Target

The Thomas Nygard Gallery has grown since 1976 to offer arguably the finest collection of art in the American West. Working with a broad array of clients, from private collectors, to formal institutions – The Gallery provides a full range of offerings and services. Whether it be framing, restoration or sales; The Gallery is a leading authority of fine art in the West.
 

Appeal

The Thomas Nygard Gallery exudes a sense of elegance, which radiates throughout the catalog. However, as a working exhibition space, The Gallery also possesses an ability to showcase beauty and value in an extremely persuasive way. This “showcase” aspect is also an essential theme in the piece. Fantastic print design focuses the viewer’s eye on each painting – translating the showcase from gallery to catalog page.
  • Product Images and Technical Specifications This piece provides the customer with information about one specific artist. The introduction summarizes the artist’s life, and the following pages are filled with his paintings. The paintings are focused in the center of each page, surrounded by blank white – with nothing but the title and date in the margin. A brief history of The Thomas Nygard Gallery follows the images.

Attention Directors

  • 8.5 X 5.5 Catalog – The essence of this catalog is to showcase the rare and valuable kinds of artwork that The Nygard Gallery has to offer; exemplified by one single artist and his work. Instead of distracting the viewer with a typical catalog approach that attempts to preview nearly everything available; this catalog chooses to capture the customer with focus on one unique artist.
  • The cover image of the catalog features a single painting – fit to fill out the entire page with no borders. “Richard Sloan, A Retrospective” is printed across the upper right. The four color process brilliantly illustrates the subtleties of the painting. From a design standpoint, filling the page completely is a shining example of getting the most out of a half page sized catalog cover. With the cover image brought out to fill the page, there is no room for error…
  • Inside the front cover you find copyright information as well as basic contact info for The Gallery; hours, and appointment process. After a two page description of the artist and his career, you will find over 25 high quality images of his work. This is the true brilliance of the catalog’s design. Each painting appears at the center of the page surrounded by blank white space. The eye is drawn toward the image and away from distraction, not unlike a gallery wall. The final page features a short description of the Nygard Gallery’s history and expertise.
  • If you are wondering how to produce a catalog that is both captivating and convenient, give us a call and let one of our designers show you some examples.

Motivators

This catalog does not attempt to push the viewer into a sales scenario. Instead, this piece is presented more like a book – an informational showcase about the artists almost without motive. The gallery information is presented only twice throughout the piece, and with the utmost subtlety. As the viewer learns about the history and unique skill of the artist, they come to realize almost subconsciously that the Nygard Galley is the kind of place that possesses rare fine-art masterpieces.
 

Summary

Don’t underestimate the power of strong clean design. This full color catalog for the Thomas Nygard Gallery utilizes each page to its maximum potential, while maintaining a compact and convenient size. If you are interested in learning more about how you can utilize a small catalog for your next print project, give us a call at 800.930.2423.
