Thanks for the link, I sent them an email. I found a company that uses a thick paper similar to that, they charged over $1 a card though! I thought I might as well hand $1 bills to people, they would remember more than if I just gave them my card!! Haha.

I went here for my business cards :) They turned out very well and the team there were really helpfull in what I should put on my business card :)

 

How thick is the paper? I want THICK!!! They have 360gsm paper, no idea what that means, also I;m not sure whether to pick matte or gloss

I make my own on quality cardstock. I've got about five different designs that I keep for different circumstances. I made them in Indesign. It's easy to do if you have a paper cutter and don't need a large volume of them.

Use moo.com as linked above.

Their cards are very thick, almost plastic-like. No chance of edge wear or creasing from storage. Their default soft-touch matte finish is very nice too.

My only issues:
- Non-standard sizing. Good, because they can't get lost in a pile. Bad, because you are forced to use their business card holders.
- Digital print process. Good for most usage but not as sharp as traditional 4-color.

They also have a new luxury line which looks amazing and is even thicker. Definitely getting those for my next run.
