Artwork & Notes

Your design, and the names to print.

Vector (AI, EPS, PDF) at 3mm bleed — trimming to 90.2 x 53.3mm. No artwork yet? We design it — say so below. Send a finished design as the working file it was made in — CDR, AI or PSD — rather than a flattened JPEG, which cannot be corrected, resized or separated for press. Photographs should be the largest, sharpest version you have: print enlarges whatever it is given. Long text is best sent as a PDF or a Word document rather than typed into a message, so nothing is lost or mistyped on the way.

Specifications

Product ID PZ-01049
Material Premium matte card in black, 500gsm or 750gsm. The same card in two weights — the weight is the only difference
Print Gold foil only. There is no full-colour printing on this card: ink on black card is invisible, so everything you can see is foil pressed into the surface
Foil Gold, included in the price on both faces — it is what the card is rather than an extra to tick. Raised enough to find with a thumb
How Much Goes On It Less than the full-colour card, and that is the point. Foiled lettering has to be set bold to press cleanly, and bold lines fill a card fast — a name, a title, a number, an email and perhaps one more line. The address, the services and the social handles belong on the full-colour card. We will say so before printing if there is too much on it
Sides Foiled both faces as standard. One face is less — ₦88,500 against ₦125,000 for a hundred on the 500gsm, ₦117,000 against ₦155,000 on the 750gsm
Lamination None, and not an option. The matte black IS the finish, and a film over it would put a sheen on the one surface meant to have none
Corners Square, and not an option. A rounded corner softens a card and this one is not meant to be soft
Size 3.55 x 2.1 inches (90.2 x 53.3mm) on both weights
Orientation Landscape as standard, or set portrait at no extra cost
Included The gold foil, a printed QR code, and your proof approved before anything runs
Premium — Spot Gloss Clear gloss laid on chosen shapes only, so they catch the light against the matte and disappear again as the card turns — +₦300 a card on one face, +₦550 on both
Minimum Order 100 cards, then in fifties. The rate is the same at every quantity on this card
Artwork Vector (AI, EPS, PDF) at 3mm bleed. A foil logo has to work as one flat shape — no photographs, gradients or multiple colours — and it has to be bold enough to press. Send what you have and we will say whether it foils as it is
Production 7–10 working days, or 3–5 working days with priority handling. Longer than the full-colour card because the foil die has to be made and pressed after the card is cut
Delivery 1–3 working days in Lagos, 2–6 working days to other states

Premium matte card in black, with the name in gold foil, at 500gsm or 750gsm. No lamination, no rounded corners, no four-colour printing — and deliberately not much writing on it. The card people keep on the desk instead of filing. Premium matte card in black at 3.55 x 2.1 inches, with the name, the logo and the details pressed into it in gold foil — raised enough to find with a thumb, and bright against a surface that throws back no light at all. Two weights, 500gsm and 750gsm, and the foil is in the price rather than an add-on. It is a restrained card and it holds less than a full-colour one: foiled lettering has to be bold, and bold lettering fills a card fast. From 100 cards.

This is not the standard card in a different colour, and the difference is worth understanding before you send artwork. There is no full-colour printing on it. Ink on black board disappears — cyan, magenta and yellow are transparent, so they sink into the black and come out as nothing. Everything you can see on these cards is gold foil: a metal leaf pressed into the board under heat, which sits on top of the black rather than soaking into it. That is why it is bright, why it is slightly raised, and why it survives a wallet. It also means a logo with a photograph in it, or a gradient, or four brand colours, cannot go on this card as it stands — it has to work as one flat shape. Send what you have and we will tell you honestly whether it will foil well or whether it needs simplifying first, before anything is charged.

Who orders this one is fairly consistent: estate and property firms, consultants and chambers, clinics and private practices, creative studios, and directors and executives ordering a small run of their own against a larger company card. It is a card for the handful of meetings a month where the card is doing real work, not the box of five hundred that goes out at a conference. Several buyers order it alongside the standard card for exactly that reason — the everyday card in volume, and a hundred of these for the room where it matters.

This card carries less writing than the full-colour one, and it is worth knowing before you draft it. Every mark on it is foil, and foil needs weight behind it — hairline type and fine detail fill in or break up under the die, so the lettering and the logo have to be set bold enough to press cleanly. Bold type takes room. Put eight lines on a card where every line has to be bold and it stops reading as a quiet card and starts reading as a busy one, which is the opposite of what this card is for. A name, a title, a phone number, an email, and one more line if it earns its place: that is the shape that works. The address, the services, the three social handles and the tagline belong on the full-colour card, and plenty of people order both for exactly that reason.

Two weights, and the weight is most of what somebody registers in the second the card is in their hand. 500gsm is already heavier than the thickest card most people have handled; it stays flat in a wallet and the edge has depth to it. 750gsm does not flex at all, and the black edge becomes part of the design — it is the one that gets commented on before anybody has read the name. Both are the same premium matte card. There is no lamination choice because the matte IS the finish: a film over it would put a sheen on the one surface whose whole point is that it has none. Corners are cut square for the same reason — a rounded corner softens a card, and this one is not meant to be soft.

The foil is gold and the price covers it on both faces: the name and logo on the front, the details on the back, which is where most of these cards put the phone number, the email and the address. Order single sided and it comes off the price rather than being a saving you have to ask for. Spot gloss is the one thing charged on top — clear varnish laid on chosen shapes only, invisible head-on and obvious as the card tilts, which on black is the quietest effect we do. A QR code to your site or profile is printed at no extra cost. Minimum is a hundred cards and the price falls as the run grows. Nothing goes on press until you have approved the proof.

Common questions

No, and this is the one thing worth knowing before you order. Printing ink is transparent — it works because the white of the paper shines back through it. On black board there is nothing to shine back, so colour simply vanishes into the card. Everything you can see on these is gold foil, which is a metal leaf pressed into the surface rather than ink soaking into it. In practice that means a logo has to work as one flat shape: a photograph, a gradient or a four-colour mark cannot be foiled as it stands. Send what you have before you pay and we will tell you honestly whether it foils as it is or whether it needs simplifying first — and the simplifying is free. If the brand really does need full colour, the standard business card prints it properly on white stock.

For a hundred cards with the gold foil already in the price: on the 500gsm it is ₦88,500 printed one side and ₦125,000 both sides; on the 750gsm it is ₦117,000 one side and ₦155,000 both. That works out at ₦885 and ₦1,250 a card on the 500gsm, ₦1,170 and ₦1,550 on the 750gsm. The second face is a bigger step than it looks because it is a second foil pass, not just more ink. The rate is the same whatever the quantity, so two hundred cards is twice the price of a hundred — there is no volume discount on this one.

Less than on the full-colour card, and the reason is the foil. Every mark on this card is pressed in metal leaf, and foil needs weight behind it — hairline type and fine detail either fill in or break up under the die, so the lettering and the logo have to be set bold enough to press cleanly. Bold type takes room. Eight lines of it on a card this size stops reading as restrained and starts reading as cluttered, which is the opposite of what anybody buys a black foiled card for. A name, a title, a phone number, an email, and one more line if it genuinely earns its place — that is the shape that works, and it is what almost every card in the photographs on this page is doing. The address, the list of services, the three social handles and the tagline belong on the full-colour card instead; quite a few people order both and hand out whichever the meeting calls for. Send us everything you were thinking of including and we will tell you what to cut before anything is pressed.

500gsm is already heavier than the thickest card most people have handled: it stays flat in a wallet and the edge has real depth. 750gsm does not flex at all, and the black edge becomes part of the design — it is the one that gets remarked on before anybody has read the name. Both are the same premium matte card, so the choice is entirely about what it feels like in the hand. If the card is going out a few at a time to people you want to remember you, take the 750gsm; if it is going out in volume, the 500gsm is still a card nobody will mistake for ordinary.

Because the matte black is the finish. A laminate is a film laid over a printed surface, and any film — even a matte one — puts a slight sheen on the board and a slickness under the thumb. On this card that is exactly the quality you are paying to avoid: the black is meant to throw back no light, so the foil is the only thing on the card that shines. The standard business card offers four laminates if that is what the job wants.

Not on this one. It is cut square and that is the only cut offered. A rounded corner softens a card, and the whole shape of this one — heavy board, square edge, no sheen — is built the other way. The standard business card rounds corners at no extra cost.

Both faces are foiled as standard and that is what the price covers — the name and logo on the front, the details on the back. Order single sided and it comes off the price rather than being a saving you have to ask for. It is worth saying that a blank back on a card this heavy reads as unfinished in a way it does not on a thinner one: the board is thick enough that people turn it over.

Clear gloss varnish laid on chosen shapes only — a logo, a line of type — so those areas catch the light while the matte around them does not. On a black card it is the quietest finish we do: head-on you cannot see it at all, and it appears as the card tilts. It is ₦300 a card on top if one face is being glossed and ₦550 if both are, and the page shows whichever applies once you have chosen your sides. Most people who take it use it on the opposite face from the foil, or as a pattern behind the foil, so the two effects are not competing for the same light. Eight of the photographs on this page are spot-glossed cards rather than foiled ones, which is the best way to see what it actually looks like.

Seven to ten working days as standard and three to five on priority, which carries a priority fee. Delivery adds one to three working days in Lagos, two to six elsewhere. That is longer than the full-colour card, which runs five to seven and two to four, and the reason is the foil: a die has to be made from your artwork before anything starts, and the pressing is a separate stage after the card is cut. Both windows are counted from the day the proof is approved rather than the day you order, so how quickly you come back on the proof is the thing that actually decides the date. We tell you as soon as it is ready rather than holding a finished job to the end of the window.

Vector — AI, EPS, CDR or a vector PDF — at 3mm bleed, because a foil die is cut from an outline and an outline is what vector art has. A flattened JPEG or PNG cannot be used directly, though we can usually redraw a simple mark from one. No artwork at all is fine: send the name, the title and the details and we design it, and you approve a proof before anything is pressed.

Quantity will not do it on this card — the rate is flat, so a thousand costs ten times a hundred. What does move the price is the number of faces: one side is ₦88,500 against ₦125,000 for a hundred on the 500gsm, and ₦117,000 against ₦155,000 on the 750gsm, so it is the single biggest lever on the page. Whether that is worth it depends on the card — a blank back on board this heavy reads as unfinished, so it is a saving rather than a free one. The weight is next: 500gsm against 750gsm, and both are the same premium matte card. Spot gloss is the only true add-on, so leaving it off is the quickest saving. Ordering alongside another product attracts up to 5% off, and plenty of people put this card and the standard full-colour card on one invoice.
