500 Business cards (ASAP)
- Thread starter TheNoone
- Start date
We print on 400gsm although we use a white Silk stock so probably no good, if this will suffice > Business Cards
My best guess is it's GF Smith stock.

Give them a call. They used to send the swatch out for free, but I think they charge for it now. To be honest it's worth having their swatch as a conversation piece. It's one of the few times you'll consider paper to be sexy.
Some of it though is a pound a sheet, and you can buy in batches of 5 sheets.

I love it! I really do think it speaks volume.
and I think it's miles ahead of glossy laminated cards!
It seems everyone has them these days!
So if anyone knows where I can find 500/600 gsm pulp cards to be litho printed
let me know and I will be eternally grateful, believe me I feel like i've looked everywhere
and found no results!
Cheers

get them foiled - ist printing ask for Ian
Very nice :icon_thumbup:
Is that stock going to take a digital print? I've not got any experience working with this kind of stock, but I'd imagine that unless you're going to order tonnes of them you'll be looking at a digi print (and all the associated costs of a solo run), so that might be worth considering....
SEXY. Can haz trade prices?

I'm after 500 business cards for a quick turnaround.
This is the type of stock i want on them.
I think it's around 450 GSM
Anyone that can help or give me a quote will be welcomed.
Cheers
Hi - you've probably got this sorted by now in some way, but for the benefit of yourself and some others reading this thread I decided to clarify a few points.
This spec is not feasible - always decide how a job is going to be printed before you start 'designing' it. The main problem isn't where to get the board - but where/how to get that board printed in cmyk.
If you want to use specialist uncoated stock, particularly if it's a decent thickness (over 400g) the only viable option is foiling/letterpress. So it's back to the drawing board I'm afraid for this one.
GF Smith offer a similar board to this in 540g - the minimum quantity is 25 full sheets @ £48 + vat which would give 1000 b.cards.
Cheers - David
