 Matte Coated Business Cards 

Elegant, non-reflective cards designed for modern professionals

Matte-coated business cards combine a refined appearance with a smooth, touch-friendly finish. The soft non-glare surface keeps text, logos, and colours easy to read under almost any lighting condition — from bright office spaces to outdoor environments.

Designed for businesses that prefer sophistication over shine, matte cards create a polished first impression while maintaining excellent print clarity and a premium feel in hand.

Highlights:

  • Clean matte surface with minimal glare and reflections
  • Sharp typography and strong colour contrast for easy readability
  • Multiple cardstock thicknesses and premium paper options
  • Choice of standard or rounded corner styles
  • Optional luxury finishes, including foil and raised gloss details

A timeless finish for premium branding

Matte-coated cardstock has long been associated with understated luxury and professional design. The velvet-like coating softens reflections while helping darker colours appear richer and more refined. It works especially well for minimalist branding, photography-focused layouts, and clean modern typography.

Frequently asked questions


Can I write on matte-coated business cards?
Yes. Most standard pens work well on the surface, especially fast-drying ballpoint or gel inks.

Do matte cards attract fingerprints?
Matte coatings naturally reduce visible smudges and fingerprints compared to glossy finishes.

Is edge-to-edge printing supported?
Absolutely. Full-bleed colour printing is available across all matte-coated business card styles.

Are recycled paper options available?
Yes. Selected paper stocks include recycled-content options, depending on the chosen thickness and finish.

Note to user: Before placing your order, please ensure all details, contact information, and design specifications are accurate and up to date. We recommend reviewing your artwork, spelling, and layout carefully to avoid reprint delays or additional costs.

  1. Victoria Lee

    SAJeddah

    Final review after 5 orders: Consistent quality, fair prices, good customer service. Will continue using for all my business card needs. Five stars.

  2. Sebastian Moore

    USNashville, TN

    I’ve recommended this printer to my entire industry association. At least 10 people have ordered based on my recommendation. All were happy. Trusted printer.

  3. Harper Wilson

    AEDubai

    Good product but the website is a bit clunky. I had trouble uploading my file the first time. Second attempt worked. Product quality is fine though.

  4. Miles Taylor

    USDenver, CO

    The cards are perfect for everyday use. I hand out about 100 per month. They hold up well and always make a good impression. Highly recommended.

  5. Aurora Davis

    CAToronto

    Excellent customer service. I messed up my file and they helped me fix it before printing. Saved me from a costly mistake. Very patient and helpful.

  6. Lincoln Williams

    GBLondon

    The cards are slightly thinner than my previous printer. 14pt vs 16pt. Still good quality but I preferred the heavier feel. Matte coating is equal quality.

  7. Eliana Martinez

    BHManama

    I’ve ordered from this company 6 times. Never had an issue. Quality, speed, and price are all excellent. Best printing company I’ve found.

  8. Luna Smith

    USSeattle, WA

    Good quality but the black color isn’t as deep as I’d like. It’s a dark gray rather than true black. Fine for most but noticeable for design professionals.

  9. Mateo Johnson

    OMMuscat

    Great printer. Will use again. The matte finish is perfect for my law firm business cards. Professional and understated. Exactly what I wanted.

  10. Willow Garcia

    KWKuwait City

    The online reorder process is simple. I logged in, clicked reorder, and they arrived 5 days later. Saved me from re-uploading files. Convenient.

  11. Theodore Brown

    NZAuckland

    My cards arrived with a slight curl. Probably from humidity during shipping. I weighed them down overnight and they flattened out. Fine after that.

  12. Lucy Davis

    SARiyadh

    The matte finish doesn’t show fingerprints. I can hand out 50 cards at a conference and they still look clean. Glossy cards look dirty after 5 people.

  13. Jack Wilson

    USMiami, FL

    Good value but I wish they offered rounded corners. Square corners get bent in my pocket. Card quality is great but corner durability could improve.

  14. Nova Rodriguez

    CAVancouver

    The cards are easy to separate. No stuck-together issues like some glossy cards. They fan out smoothly. Good for fast-paced networking.

  15. Julian Lee

    USDetroit, MI

    I’ve switched my entire company’s cards to this printer. 15 employees, all with matte cards. Consistent quality across all orders. Highly recommended.

  16. Penelope Clark

    AEAbu Dhabi

    One card had a small white dot where the ink didn’t print. The other 499 were perfect. Not worth reordering but worth noting.

  17. Wyatt Harris

    USLas Vegas, NV

    The matte cards work well with foil stamping. I added gold foil to my logo and the matte background makes it pop. Beautiful combination.

  18. Aria White

    QADoha

    Good product but the customer service hours are limited. I had a question on Sunday and had to wait until Monday for a response. Fine but not 24/7.

  19. Leo Martinez

    AUBrisbane

    The proof was accurate to the final product. What I saw on screen is what arrived. No surprises. That’s all I ask from a printer.

  20. Hazel Moore

    CAWinnipeg

    Shipping cost is reasonable for international. $10 to ship to Canada. Cards arrived in 7 days. Good value overall.

  21. Ezra Miller

    GBGlasgow

    The matte coating is applied evenly. No glossy spots or missing coating. Consistent across the entire batch. Good quality control.

  22. Stella Garcia

    SAKhobar

    I’ve ordered 5000 cards from this company over the past year. Every batch has been perfect. They’ve earned a loyal customer.

  23. Levi Martin

    USPhiladelphia, PA

    Good cards but the cutting could be more precise. A few cards had very slightly rounded corners instead of sharp 90-degree. Minor but noticeable.

  24. Mila Anderson

    KWHawally

    The matte finish makes QR codes highly scannable. No glare means phones read it instantly. Perfect for my contactless business card strategy.

  25. Owen Wilson

    USAtlanta, GA

    My only complaint is the website was slow when uploading my file. Took 5 minutes to upload a 50MB PDF. Product quality is fine though.

  26. Eleanor Davis

    AEDubai

    The cards arrived faster than promised. Said 7-10 days, arrived in 6. Pleasant surprise. Well packaged and perfect condition.

  27. Isaac Johnson

    USHouston, TX

    Good value but the card stock could be thicker. 14pt is fine but I prefer 16pt for a more premium feel. Matte coating quality is excellent though.

  28. Nora Williams

    CAEdmonton

    I’ve used this printer for three years. Never had a defective order. Quality is consistently excellent. Loyal customer for life.

  29. Carter Brown

    USSan Diego, CA

    The cards smudge if you handle them with wet hands. I learned to keep them away from drinks. Once dry, the smudge doesn’t spread but it’s noticeable.

  30. Madison Taylor

    OMSalalah

    Very satisfied with the print quality. Small text is sharp, logos are crisp, colors are accurate. Exactly what I expected from a professional printer.

  31. Gabriel Martinez

    BHRiffa

    The matte finish is fingerprint-resistant. I handed cards to 20 people at a networking event and they still looked clean afterward. Glossy would have been a mess.

  32. Lily Rodriguez

    USPortland, OR

    Good cards but the turnaround was inconsistent. First order took 5 days. Second order took 9 days. Quality same both times but timing varies.

  33. Nathan Thomas

    SADammam

    Cards are recyclable which matters to my eco-conscious clients. The matte coating doesn’t prevent recycling like some glossy UV coatings do. Big plus.

  34. Zoe Anderson

    CAOttawa

    The proofing process caught a typo I missed. Their team emailed me to verify before printing. Saved me from 500 wrong cards. Excellent service.

  35. Christopher Wilson

    QAAl Rayyan

    One of my 500 cards had a fingerprint visible under the coating. Looks like someone touched it before it dried. The rest were perfect. Acceptable loss.

  36. Andrew Miller

    USBoston, MA

    The matte finish feels soft and luxurious. Much more premium feel than the shiny cheap cards I used before. Clients comment on the quality.

  37. Hannah Davis

    AESharjah

    Good product but the minimum order is 250. I only needed 100 for a small event. Would love a lower minimum option for small businesses.

  38. Dylan Brown

    USNashville, TN

    The cards are double-sided with perfect registration. Front and back align exactly. No off-center printing like I’ve experienced with other budget printers.

  39. Grace Wilson

    KWSalmiya

    Customer service responded within 1 hour when I had a question about file formats. Very helpful and knowledgeable about printing requirements.

  40. Samuel Lee

    USPhoenix, AZ

    The matte coating scuffs slightly if cards rub against each other in a tight wallet. Not terrible but visible after a few months. Still readable.

  41. Emma Martinez

    NZWellington

    Shipping packaging was excellent. Rigid cardboard envelope prevented any bending. Cards arrived in perfect condition despite international shipping.

  42. David Garcia

    AUMelbourne

    I’ve recommended this printer to three colleagues. All were happy with their matte cards. Word of mouth is strong when quality is consistent.

  43. Clara Thompson

    CACalgary

    Good quality but the white balance is slightly warm. My cards have a very subtle cream tint instead of pure white. Fine for most but noticeable if you’re picky.

  44. Joseph Martin

    GBBristol

    The cards are easy to scan with QR codes. Printed a code on the back and it scans perfectly on first try. Matte surface doesn’t interfere with scanning.

  45. Victoria Harris

    SAJeddah

    Matte finish reduces glare on photos. My real estate headshot looks much better on matte than it did on my old glossy cards. More professional.

  46. Daniel White

    USAustin, TX

    The online designer tool is a bit basic. I uploaded my own design so it didn’t matter. But if you need templates, they’re limited.

  47. Sofia Jackson

    AEAbu Dhabi

    Great value for the price. I compared Vistaprint, Moo, and this company. This was the best balance of quality and cost. Will order again.

  48. Alexander Thomas

    USDenver, CO

    The cards stack nicely and don’t stick together like some glossy cards do. Easy to fan out and hand to clients. Smooth operation.

  49. Evelyn Anderson

    OMMuscat

    One card had a small scratch on the coating. The other 499 were perfect. Acceptable defect rate for the price point.

  50. Benjamin Taylor

    CAMontreal

    The matte finish makes the cards easy to write on with any pen. Glossy cards always smudge when I try to write. These are perfect for adding notes.

  51. Charlotte Moore

    BHManama

    Shipping was slower than estimated. Took 10 days to arrive. Product is great but if you need cards quickly, pay for expedited shipping.

  52. Elijah Wilson

    USSeattle, WA

    I’ve ordered from this company four times now. Quality is consistent every time. No color variation between batches. Reliable printing partner.

  53. Amelia Johnson

    KWKuwait City

    These cards survived being in my pocket during a rainstorm. The matte coating protected the ink. Paper cards would have been ruined. Very durable.

  54. Lucas Miller

    QADoha

    Good cards but the color on my logo came out slightly darker than my screen showed. Still acceptable but noticeable to me. Others probably wouldn’t see it.

  55. Mia Davis

    GBManchester

    The matte coating is consistent across all cards. No uneven spots or missing coating on the edges. Quality control seems excellent.

  56. Ethan Rodriguez

    SARiyadh

    Upload process was easy. The online proof came within 2 hours. I approved and the cards went to print immediately. Very efficient workflow.

  57. Isabella Garcia

    USLos Angeles, CA

    The cards are slightly thinner than I expected. Still good quality but I prefer a heavier card stock. They feel a bit flimsy compared to premium options.

  58. Mason Brown

    AEDubai

    Price is competitive. I compared five different printers and this was the best value for matte coated cards. Quality matches printers that charge 30% more.

  59. Ava Wilson

    NZAuckland

    The cards write well with ballpoint pen. I like to handwrite notes on the back before handing them out. The matte surface accepts ink without smudging.

  60. Noah Taylor

    CAVancouver

    I ordered 500 cards and received 498. Customer service refunded the 2 missing cards quickly. Minor issue but handled professionally.

  61. Olivia Martinez

    USChicago, IL

    The matte finish makes text very readable even in small font sizes. I have 8pt contact info on the back and it’s perfectly legible. Very impressed.

  62. Liam O’Brien

    AUSydney

    Good quality but the turnaround was 8 days instead of the promised 5. Customer service apologized and offered a discount on my next order. Cards themselves are great.

  63. Emily Clark

    GBLondon

    Much better than glossy cards I ordered elsewhere. Glossy showed every fingerprint. These matte cards look clean even after being handled. Highly recommend.

  64. James Anderson

    CAToronto

    Cards arrived in 5 business days, well packaged with no bends. The matte coating feels smooth but not slippery. Very professional look.

  65. Sophia Williams

    USNew York, NY

    The matte finish is exactly what I wanted. No glare under office lights, and the text is crisp and readable. My logo colors came out true to what I designed.
