Business cards and stationery.
Business cards, letterheads, compliment slips, envelopes, presentation folders, NCR pads and logbooks, staff passes and lanyards.
Business cards that get kept
The standard business card is 85 × 55mm. What makes one memorable is the stock and finish: a heavy board (often 350gsm or more), a textured or uncoated surface, an edge colour or a foil detail. A card is the one piece of print people keep in a pocket, so it is worth choosing well.
Letterheads and compliment slips
A4 letterheads and DL compliment slips are the backbone of a brand’s stationery. They work best when the paper, the colours and the layout match your cards and envelopes, so we’ll help you produce them as a set.
NCR pads and forms
NCR stands for no carbon required: the copies are made by pressure, so a duplicate or triplicate form needs no carbon paper between the sheets. They can be numbered, padded and bound. For Foremost Security we produce NCR logbooks that keep accurate records on site.
Cards, passes and lanyards
Staff passes, membership cards, loyalty cards and lanyards are all things we produce. Tell us what the card has to do, whether it is carried every day or used once, and we’ll recommend the material.
Launching a business
For Nicoll + McBrayne we produced the launch stationery for a new consultancy alongside their designers, so the printed identity arrived all together and cohesive. If your designer is working on a new identity, we’re happy to talk to them early about paper and finishes. Send print-ready PDF artwork with 3mm bleed.
Mistakes that cost time and money
Type that is too small is the classic: anything much below about 7pt gets hard to read on a card. Keep text about 5mm inside the edge so it isn’t clipped when the card is cut, and send artwork with 3mm bleed so there is no white edge. A thin card feels cheap however good the design, so choose the stock before you finalise the layout.
How an order works
Tell us what you need, roughly how many and by when. We advise and quote, check your artwork, get your go-ahead, then print, finish and deliver across the UK. The whole process is on how we work.
