Elevate your brand with premium business cards printed on a traditional letterpress. At Clubcard Vancouver, we bring over 31 years of printing expertise to every card, combining time honoured printing techniques with modern photopolymer plate technology to produce business cards of extraordinary quality and elegance.
Printed by experienced letterpress operators, your cards can feature rich Pantone spot colour inks or one of 36 stunning foil options including metallic, gloss, and matte finishes. You can further customize your cards with rounded corners, painted edges, or gilded foil edges for a refined presentation.
While many clients prefer a deep letterpress debossed impression, we also offer the option to print without an impression or combine both techniques, depending on your design and stock thickness.
We welcome custom projects that cannot be priced by our standard configurator. For unique designs, alternate stocks, large quantity orders, or specialty finishing like blind embossing, custom die cutting or multiple card sets, please submit a custom project request.
Our team is here to help you craft cards as unique as your brand.

Any lines, line art or strokes should be .25 points or .003” minimum.
Letterpress is excellent for printing all kinds of type however each font will determine the best minimum size. We suggest nothing less than 6 points. Please outline your fonts when submitting your files.
If you wish to print type within a solid ink background type smaller than 12 points can cause ink clogs. Minimum font sizes will vary depending on the typeface. Once we complete a file check we may ask you to adjust the size or add a stroke to make up for ink gain.
Letterpress printing uses Pantones spot colour (PMS) inks and foils. Typically most projects are printed in 1 to 2 colours and foils. We can print virtually any combination of inks and foils where your budget allows. If you don't see the combination you are looking for, please request a custom quote.
Letterpress is printed at 100% of the pantone ink colour so if you want to print a lighter "shade" of the same colour you will need to select a second ink in a lighter colour.
We do not offer full coverage (aka floods) of ink on letterpress. While pantone inks will absorb into the stock, the overall result of covering uncoated stocks with ink will produce a low sheen instead of a matte appearance. Heavy ink coverage may also highlight the appearance of natural fibres on uncoated stocks.
Competing impressions from one side to the other requires us to back off the pressure on both sides meaning the deep crisp impression in the stock is lost.
Yes we can die cut and score letterpress cards. If you're looking for a custom shape die cut please complete our custom estimate form and upload a PDF of your art for us to review. We'll get back with any question or send an estimate asap!
In general we want to print dark inks on light hued paper and stamp foils on dark hued paper. The Pantone inks used in letterpress are translucent and will show through / take on the hue of the paper they are printed on. If you're really set on printing inks on dark stocks please complete our custom estimate form and upload a PDF of your art for us to review. We'll get back with any question or send an estimate asap!
Yes we can paint and gild / foil edges of cards. Please note gilding is not available on cards with rounded corners.
