Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is embossed printing?
A: Embossed printing is a process that puts raised lettering and images on paper to create an eye-catching, three dimensional effect to help your Canadian small business stand out. With our embossed business cards, you can decide which design elements you want to pop.
Q: Is Spot UV the same thing as embossed gloss?
A: Yes, the type of printing we use is also known as Spot UV. This process actually has a lot of names, so you might see this type of product listed elsewhere as Raised Spot UV business cards, Laminated business cards, Spot Gloss business cards or Raised Print business cards.
Q: How thick is the paper on these cards?
A: Our Embossed Gloss business cards for Canada are made using either a 16pt premium or 14pt standard paper. Each point (pt) is equal to .001 of an inch, to give you a frame of reference. Both options have a smooth, matte finish.
Q: Can you have embossed gloss on both sides? Is two-sided printing included in the price?
A: For now, you can only have embossed gloss on the front of your card. But we are working towards offering that option at some point in the future. In the meantime, you can get customized printing on the back of your card for an additional fee.
Q: Can I get Embossed Gloss business cards with rounded corners? Or in a square shape?
A: You can order them with rounded corners, but not in a square shape. Scroll up to see the “Corners” options.
Q: If I choose a template, can I decide where to use embossed gloss? What if I upload my own design?
A: On our templates, the embossed areas can’t be changed. However, if you upload your own design, you have more freedom to decide which parts are raised. You can do this through our design studio, or you can leave specific directions for our CARE team.
