Overview
Plastic business cards are printed on the same rigid PVC used for bank and membership cards, so they feel substantial the moment they land in someone’s hand. They shrug off water, coffee and toolbags, and they don’t go soft at the corners after a week in a wallet.
Start with white PVC for the most accurate colour, or choose a stock that does some of the work for you: clear or frosted for a see-through look, metallic, satin black or foil for a premium finish, or NFC so a tap opens your contact details.
- Who they suit: trades, consultants, creatives, salons, estate agents — anyone whose card needs to survive and stand out.
- What changes the price: quantity, stock, finish and extras like NFC or foil.

FAQs
Are plastic business cards waterproof?
Yes. PVC doesn’t absorb water, so the card won’t warp or tear when it gets wet. The printed surface is protected by a laminate or coating chosen for your stock.
Can you print on both sides?
Yes — full colour on the front and back is standard. On clear stock we can add white ink behind areas that need to be opaque.
How many do I need to order?
From a single card. Runs under 25 are priced per card plus a small set-up charge, and price breaks start at 25 — see the Prices tab for the full ladder.
Can I see one before I order?
Yes. Request a sample pack to feel the stocks and finishes, and you will always approve a digital proof before production.
