Plastic Business Card

Plastic business cards are printed on durable yet flexible plastic using the one-, two-, or four-color printing process. Some finish options include clear, translucent, frosted, and solid. Plastic business cards cost a little more, but they make a first-rate impression and will outlast a standard card stock business card.

Plastic business cards are about the same thickness as a credit card and use quality ink for text and images. Plastic business cards are printed on 2 x 3.5 inch heavy weight plastic using the standard four-color process for any color scheme you select.

The process for printing plastic business cards is called thermal printing. This process creates an image on plastic using a heated print head. Consider bar codes, image captures, and magnetic stripes, etc., for alternative uses of plastic business cards.

Advantages

A plastic business card is easy to locate and not likely to be discarded. A plastic business card can be appropriate for both traditional and creative type businesses.

Disadvantages

Plastic business cards are more costly due to the type of material used. If you are printing for a large company, the costs may be extravagant.
