Business cards are paper cards that we all have in our wallets as well as our drawers. We use business cards for formal introductions of all sorts. These business cards contain basic information such as name and contact detail of a person. They also contain company information and affiliation details of a person. People also use them for officially presenting a company as a manager or in a position of influence. Business cards are frequently used for issuing appointments and personal introductions. Business cards have become modernized by following a rich history of use for both courtesy as well as marketing purposes. The ordinary business cards are prepared using paper stock which is much thicker than writing paper and does not bend easily. There is also a trend these days of using silk, plastic and other materials for business card printing. The printing technology has now advanced quite a lot and all kinds of designs and graphics can now be easily printed of all kinds of materials. The normal material still though is thick paper. Business cards were always printed in black in old days. The black color looked good against a white paper background and was mostly useful in serving its purpose. The people today however want to use newer methods and innovative designs which have led to the use of color printing in business cards. Color printing can be done by using very high quality spot colors. These colors have a very good finish and long service life. Different spot colors can be used for multiple color prints. Printing presses use these colors which mean the cost of a card is directly affected by the number of selected spot colors which usually limits the use of multiple spot colors. An alternative method of mixing four colors is used when multiple colors are required in business card in printing. These do not have the excellent finishing of individual spot colors but mostly good enough for normal applications and business card designs. These days digital printing has also appeared on the horizon. Digital printers can print all kinds of cards and other such things but mostly special equipment is produced by companies such as HP for printing on thick paper stocks. These machines are termed as digital printing presses. Their colors and finishing have now almost reached the quality of special off-set printing which has provided people with multiple printing options. It is impossible for an ordinary person to differentiate between digital and off-set prints when done using the latest printing machines of today. Printing papers are also commonly coated with various specialized materials to provide different functions such as increased visual beauty and greater service life. Business card printing paper is commonly coated with UV glossy coating which gives an excellent service gloss and smooth finish on the surface of the card. These coating can be done on a single side or both sides of the paper and provide better handling and visual experience. There are also aqueous coatings available which are used to prolong the life and quality of printing colors on the paper. Card printing companies usually allow customers to select different additional surface coatings if they want and these are selected by card bearers as their required needs and budgets.
