Client Requirement
The client needed business cards that could represent the company professionally during corporate meetings, networking interactions and exhibition activity in Dubai.
The main requirements were:
- Premium corporate appearance
- Durable card stock suitable for frequent handling
- A tactile finish that would distinguish the cards from standard cards
- Clear corporate branding
- Logo emphasis without making the design visually crowded
- Double-sided printing
- Rounded corners
- Fast production to meet the required schedule
The key challenge was balancing a premium appearance with a specification that remained practical for regular business networking and exhibition use.
Printing Specifications
The selected business-card specification was:
- 400 GSM card stock — selected for a substantial, professional feel
- Velvet lamination — added a smooth, soft-touch surface and helped create a premium presentation
- Spot UV logo finishing — used to create contrast and draw attention to the branded element
- Double-sided printing — allowed the design to use both sides of the card
- Rounded corners — provided a softer finished shape
The combination was chosen to create a premium corporate card without relying on multiple decorative finishes across the entire surface.
Design & Finishing Process
The production process began with artwork verification to check the supplied design against the selected card size and finishing requirements.
The design approach focused on:
- Minimal corporate styling
- Clear typography
- Consistent logo placement
- Adequate spacing
- High-resolution artwork
- Correct preparation for Spot UV application
The Spot UV finish was used selectively on the logo rather than across the entire card. This created a contrast between the velvet-laminated surface and the glossy highlighted area.
After printing, the cards went through the finishing and quality-check stages before packaging and delivery.uch texture.
Why This Business Card Specification Was Selected
The specification was designed around the client’s need for a premium corporate card that would be handled frequently during meetings and exhibition networking.
400 GSM stock provided a substantial card feel, while velvet lamination added a smooth tactile surface. Spot UV was used selectively on the logo to create visual contrast without making the entire card glossy.
This combination was suitable for a business that wanted its card to feel more premium than a standard laminated card while keeping the design clean and corporate.
Production Timeline
Because the cards were required for upcoming corporate meetings and exhibition activity, production was planned around the client’s required deadline.
The workflow included:
- Artwork verification
- Specification confirmation
- Digital proof approval
- Printing
- Velvet lamination
- Spot UV application
- Rounded-corner finishing
- Quality inspection
- Packaging and delivery
The production schedule was coordinated around the required completion date rather than treating printing and delivery as separate deadlines.
Final Results
The completed cards matched the selected premium specification and were prepared for use during corporate meetings, networking and exhibition activity.
The delivered result provided:
- A substantial 400 GSM card feel
- Smooth velvet-laminated surface
- Selective glossy Spot UV logo treatment
- Clean double-sided corporate presentation
- Rounded finished corners
- Professional packaging suitable for business distribution
The main outcome of the project was a business card specification that combined tactile finishing with a clean corporate design, making it suitable for repeated networking and exhibition use.
Finishes Used in This Project
The project used two primary finishing treatments:
- Velvet lamination — used across the card surface to provide a smooth, soft-touch finish.
- Spot UV — applied selectively to the logo to create a glossy contrast against the velvet surface.
Other finishes such as gold foil, silver foil and embossing are available for different corporate branding requirements, but they were not part of this particular project.ption.
