Introduction:
One is sleek and shiny. The other is smooth and subtle. Choosing between matte and glossy business cards isn’t just about looks — it’s about how you want people to experience your brand.
Matte vs Gloss: What’s the Difference?
Finish Type | Look & Feel | Best For |
---|---|---|
Glossy | Shiny, vibrant, reflects light | Bold, colorful brands, photo-heavy designs |
Matte | Soft, non-reflective, smooth | Minimalist, elegant, high-end aesthetics |
