A business card is a type of card that holds a certain information about an individual or a company. Typically, this includes the name of the giver, the company name with a logo, and some contact information such as the address, contact numbers, email address, and website. Other information like social media addresses may also be included. Before, business cards are only black text written on a white stock, but now, it already includes many aspects of colors and design.

These are often made of card stocks. Card stocks are types of paper that is thicker and more durable than normal papers. There are some that are made of high quality but without have colored photographs are usually printed using spot colors. Most business cards Boca Raton usually are printed using spot colors. When logos are only created using one tint and it is applied to a type of different tint, the term for this is the two colored process. Since batch and digital printing are now popular, it maybe very cost effective when one prints it with full colors.

Cards with full colors are often printed in sheet fed presses and the most commonly used is the four color process which includes cyan, yellow, magenta, and black. These can also be coated with an offset UV printing or the UV glossy coat. This is often applied similar to an additional ink on sheet fed presses. This means that the UV coat can also be used as spot coating which also means that the areas may either be coated or not.

These may be also printed with the use of digital copier. The digital copier will use a toner which is fused to a cards surface. But most printing firms today have been already using modern technologies like high end digital presses that is very different from usual copiers utilized in most offices.

In Boca Raton FL, most offices there are facing problems when it comes to the printing of heavy weight of business cards stocks. A new digital press prints a heavy stock with up to 407 grams per square meter of its weight. It also prints materials which are substrate, especially those made out of polypropylene. The digital press may be bought in a sheet fed model or web fed model.

For a fast speed manufacturing of cards, UV coats and some other coating types like the aqueous coating are being used. A card that is not made dry may possibly offset an ink to the other side of it. UV coatings are highly glossy and would possibly fingerprint while an aqueous coating is visible but would help in increasing the life of a card.

When it is being designed, bleeds are given whenever the colors extend outside the edge of finished product already cut. Bleeds are printing types that go beyond edges of a sheet before it is trimmed. Bleeds are provided to ensure that a paper is cut without any white edges.

For Japanese people, they refer their business card as the meishi. The company name is located at the very top portion and it is printed as the largest. This is followed by the job title and name of individual. Other information like contact numbers and business addresses are also provided.

The information on one side is written in Japanese characters while the other side is often written in Latin characters. A meishi contains a QR code which makes it in a machine readable format. In Western world, presenting a meishi to another person became a ritual and formal thing.
