Business cards are cards which contain the name of the card bearer as well as the company he or she represents. These cards are handed out at occasions of formal and official nature. These cards are a necessary form of courtesy behavior these days. Their basic purpose is to provide a memory aid to the person you are giving out your business card to. This memory aid can then be used by that person in case such a need arises due to any requirement where your professional services may be required by a person. People do contact each other after a quite a long time sometimes by using contact details from a business card.

UV coats are also very common because they turn the card into highly glossy which looks excellent at touching and feeling. Aqueous coatings are also used on business cards. These coatings do not have a visible effect on the business card but they are done to speed up printing by making the ink bond with the card much more quickly and permanently.
