Printing Embossed Business Cards

Embossed business cards are business cards with a raised design or lettering. Different inks are used in the process where the paper is pushed up from the back. Blind embossed is when no ink is used. Pressure is put on the ink and paper and when pressed in the printing machine, the image is raised when the metal design plate is pressed into the paper. You can also emboss with ink and foil seal.

Embossed business cards are considered high end and look quite elegant. If you want to make a great first impression, custom embossed business cards are for you. There is such a wide range of variety that you can choose to enhance your business cards. How many of other people's business cards do you have lying around. With an embossed business card you are sure to attract the attention of perspective clients. They will highly represent your company and show clients that you always go that extra step. Your cards will stand out from everyone else's.

More work goes into making embossed business cards. Printing companies have to use special embossing inks and design plates in order to custom make your cards. So, in turn, embossed business cards may cost more than regular or even premium colored cards, but it is well worth it. You will be making an impressive first impression with embossed business cards. You are sure to receive new clients with your cards. Prices range from $200 per 1000, for blind embossed (no ink), to over $500 per 1000 for other special techniques.

Some of those special features are embossing with ink, where the raised part, usually your logo, is in color. There are many colors to choose from, and this does raise the price, but the final outcome is incredible. There is also the option of foil embossing, where the colored foil is transposed onto the raised part of your card giving it a metallic effect. You can also create metal embossed business cards to really stand out!

Embossed business cards seem to come alive on the paper. They have a 3-D effect and the image can been felt and seen. As soon as you hand it to a potential customer they will feel it and look down at the card. You already have their attention!

The process for ordering embossed cards is similar to that for any other custom business card. If you already have a logo, you can upload the design to the company, otherwise you can pick a company to create your logo, or choose a standard logo from a variety of themes.
