At Elite Flyers, we know a business card isn’t just paper—it’s your personal first impression. Whether you’re sealing a deal or making connections, the right card speaks volumes before you even say a word. That’s why choosing coated or uncoated stock is a strategic decision—one that reflects your brand voice and standout style.
Uncoated stocks have a warm, matte finish that invites handwritten notes. Perfect for appointment details, thank-you messages, or authentic personalization.
Colors on uncoated cards absorb into the paper, creating soft, earthy tones with understated elegance.
Think stationery, sustainability-driven brands, or professionals who want their contacts to jot down notes—our Uncoated Business Cards are perfect for the job.
Coated cards come in glossy, satin, or matte finishes, offering shine and clarity that bring designs to life.
Ink sits atop the surface, delivering sharp, high-impact visuals—ideal for photographic logos, modern brands, and luxury services.
Coating protects against fingerprints, moisture, and scuffs, making it perfect for frequent handling.
Photographers, graphic designers, architects, and professionals with visually driven branding will appreciate the polished look.
