Raised Print Business Cards

Raised print business cards are usually printed in one or two colors with raised lettering. The most cost-effective business card type, raised print business cards are excellent for high-volume, low budget needs. They may be used for traditional businesses, fill-in-the-blank customer forms, and simple designs.
Raised ink printing is usually a one-color process that uses thermography along with standard offset printing. Once business cards are printed and while the ink is still wet, a powder is dusted over the ink, which then melts. This causes a raised effect that is viewable as a glossy texture. Because raised print business cards use only one color, they are a cost-effective solution to high volume orders. Raised print business cards are printed on 2 x 3.5 inch 12pt+ weight card stock.
Use raised print business cards to accommodate these types of business situations:
- Large High-Volume Businesses. Since the cost of printing one color is less, the raised print business card is the perfect solution for large, high-volume businesses. Get the professional look that drives business without over spending.
- Traditional Business Needs. For traditional or conservative businesses, the raised print business card offers a simple and yet professional look and feel.
- Cost is a Consideration. As a small business on a budget, the raised print business card presents a solid image in every case. It looks and feel expensive but costs the small business owner less.
- Professionals. Make an impression with professional clients. Select raised print business cards in lieu of wild colors and fancy images.
- Freelance Workers. Given the dependency of business card distribution for successful client accumulation, this low-cost alternative is perfect for freelance workers.
Advantages
Printing one-color raised print business cards is the most cost effective method for promoting your business. The raised print business cards can be printed in the traditional 2.5 x 3 inch size in any color and use high-quality 12pt+ weight card stock to produce glossy raised text and images that have texture. This design is a perfect low-cost, high-volume solution for printed business cards.
Disadvantages
The raised print business cards are not as creative as some other business card designs. Because this process only uses one color, it may not come across as interesting for a creative style business.
Design Ideas
In addition to your contact information and your business logo, raised print business cards may be designed to include other useful business information as well. Consider these options:
- Calendars. Annual calendars are a favorite in the hands of customers. They print nicely onto the back side of a business card and fit well into a standard size wallet for quick access and significant recall by your customers.
- Appointment Forms. If your business involves customer appointments, you may want to include an appointment form on your business card.
- Coupons or Sales Items. Use your business card as a promotional coupon for your services, or to promote items you are offering at a sale price.
- Fill-in-the-Blank Forms. Use fill-in-the-blank forms for handwritten information and notes on the back side of your business card. You may elect to use the space as you hand your business card to a potential customer, or your customer may choose to use the space to make notes.
