Your business card is often the first physical impression you make. Print Haus delivers premium business card printing in Melbourne with an extensive range of paper stocks, finishes, and custom options that go well beyond a standard card. From foil stamping and spot UV through to soft touch lamination, edge painting, and die-cut shapes, we produce business cards that reflect the quality and professionalism of your brand.
In professional settings, a business card is exchanged at the moment of introduction. A well-designed card printed on quality stock with a premium finish communicates attention to detail and reinforces confidence in the brand or individual. A thin, poorly printed card does the opposite. Investing in quality business card printing is one of the most cost-effective branding decisions a professional or business can make, given the low cost per unit relative to the impression it creates.
The finish on your business card is as important as the design. Below is a full guide to the premium finish options available through Print Haus:
| Finish | Effect | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Gloss Lamination | High-shine, vibrant surface that makes colours pop | Bold colour schemes and image-heavy or photo-based designs |
| Matte Lamination | Smooth, non-reflective surface with a clean, premium look | Understated, professional designs and dark colour palettes |
| Soft Touch Lamination | Velvety, tactile surface with a luxury feel in the hand | Luxury brands, executive professionals, and premium positioning |
| Spot UV | Glossy coating applied selectively over specific design elements | Highlighting logos, text accents, or decorative graphic elements |
| Foil Stamping | Metallic foil in gold, silver, or custom colours applied to artwork | Prestige brands, premium professionals, and luxury positioning |
| Edge Painting | Coloured ink applied to the card edges for a distinctive detail | Bold, creative card designs where stand-out is the priority |
| Embossing / Debossing | Raised or recessed texture pressed into the card surface | Adding tactile depth and a premium, crafted feel to key elements |

The standard Australian business card size is 90 mm x 55 mm, which is consistent with international standard card sizing. We also offer square cards (85 mm x 85 mm), mini cards, and fully custom die-cut shapes for clients who want something different from the standard format.
Matte lamination and soft touch lamination are among the most popular finishes for business cards in professional settings due to their premium look and tactile quality. Spot UV over matte lamination is also a popular combination as it adds a high-gloss contrast to selected elements such as logos and text. For prestige clients, foil stamping remains the premium choice.
Minimum quantities vary by product and finish. Standard digital business cards are available from as few as 50 cards. Some premium finishes such as foil and letterpress may have higher minimums due to setup requirements. Contact our team with your specific requirements for minimum quantities on specialty products.
