Classic Uncoated Business Cards | 14pt Natural & Pure White Paper Stock
Embrace a clean, organic look with our Classic Uncoated Business Cards. Featuring a dry, natural texture, these cards offer a traditional paper feel that strips away the glare of modern plastics and coatings. If your brand relies on a rustic, eco-friendly, or minimalist aesthetic, this 14pt uncoated stock delivers a timeless look that feels premium and authentic.
Engineered for ultimate functionality, these cards feature an open-pore paper texture that absorbs ink instantly. It is the perfect choice for functional marketing pieces like customer reward cards, stamping programs, or appointment reminders.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
  • Optimal 14pt Thickness: A standard, lightweight yet durable cardstock that balances flexibility with professional rigidity.
  • 100% Smear-Proof Writing: An uncoated surface that accepts any ballpoint pen, pencil, or ink stamp without smudging.
  • Two Premium Paper Colors: Choose between crisp Pure White for high-contrast modern designs, or a warm Light Cream Natural for a softer, vintage look.
  • Zero Glare Matte Finish: A completely flat, non-reflective surface that provides effortless readability under any lighting.
  • Eco-Friendly Aesthetic: Perfect for brands that want to communicate sustainability, transparency, and simplicity.

The Ultimate Choice for Loyalty & Punch Cards
Standard glossy or laminated business cards repel ink, causing stamps to smudge and pen ink to wipe clean away. Our 14pt uncoated business cards are highly absorbent, making them the industry standard for:
  • Customer Loyalty Programs: Create "Buy 10, Get 1 Free" punch cards that lock in repeat business.
  • Ink-Stamped Reward Cards: Works flawlessly with standard self-inking rubber stamps without blurring your brand logo.
  • Appointment Cards: Perfect for dental offices, hair salons, and automotive shops where writing down future dates is required.
  • Note Cards: Excellent for service professionals who like to write a personalized "thank you" on the back of their card.

 
Pick Your Perfect Shade
  • 14pt Uncoated White: A stark, vibrant white baseline. It ensures your corporate colors print true to your digital design and keeps text incredibly crisp.
  • 14pt Uncoated Natural: A subtle, elegant cream tone. It softens harsh lines and gives a warm, antique, or handcrafted feel to boutique brands and organic shops.

 
 
 

 

    FILE FORMAT:

    We accept the following file formats TIFF, JPG, EPS, PSD, and PDF.

    FILE SIZE:
    The maximum file size acceptable for emailing is 30MB (megabytes) per email. Larger files will need to be uploaded or sent by FTP.

    RESOLUTION:
    All non-vector file formats should have a minimum of 300 dpi (dot per inch) resolution.
    The images designed for the web are done at a low screen resolution of 72 dpi. Print images need to be created at 300 dpi or there will be a substantial drop in the image quality.

     DPI resolution


    COLOR MODE:
    All color artwork and/or images should be provided in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color mode. In RBG mode you will see colors that are outside of color spectrum available in CMYK printing. That is why its best if you convert your files.

    RICH BLACK:
    For a rich black background the CYMK should be set to c 40%, m 30%, y 30%, k 100%. A k 100% alone does not print as a rich solid black on many stocks.

    FONTS:
    All fonts should be "outlined" to be considered print ready. This does not apply to TIFF and JPG files.

    BLEED:
    Please build your press-ready digital files by adding 0 .1" dimension for business cards, postcards, and rackcards. Add 0.125" for all other products.
    We require ALL files to be built to the full bleed dimension specified for each trim size.
    We automatically trim 0.05" or 0.0625" off each edge, which will result in the desired trim size
    Simply add 0.1" or 0.125" to the overall dimension of your digital layout. Example: a 5" x 7" would have a bleed size of 5.1" x 7.1" and a 8.5"x11" flyer would have a bleed size of 8.625"x11.125". downloadable templates?

    What's a bleed?
    It is the portion of the card that will be trimmed off when cut to the final size.

    Why bleed?
    The purpose of a bleed is to continue a color, image or design to the edge of the card.
     

    crop marks and cutting

    SAFE ZONE:
    All critical elements (text, images, logos, etc.) must be kept at least 0.125" inside the edge. Anything left close to edge may be cut off during trimming.

    BORDERS:
    Please allow 1/16" cutting space around your card. No borders are recommended, as shifting in the cutting process may make borders appear uneven.

    PRINT READY CHECKLIST:
    - Resolution of file is 300 DPI
    - Color mode is CYMK and not RGB
    - File is correct size and has bleeds (Example 3.6x2.1 NOT 3.5 x 2.0)
    - All text is in safe zone, away from the edges
