Linen Business Cards 100lb Cover - Clubcard Printing Canada

These 100lb Linen cover stock business cards have a matte, uncoated appearance with a subtle crosshatch texture and cloth-like feel. This traditional stock is made with 30% recycled fibers and is roughly equivalent to a 10pt card stock, making this the lightest card stock weight we offer for cards. 

Linen business cards are printed in full colour with orders of 100 or 250 business cards printed on a digital press while orders of 500 or more cards are printed on the offset press.

Colour Variance between Digital & Offset cards - If you order multiple sets of cards with sets of 100 / 250 cards printed on the digital press and others at 500 units or more printed in the offset press there will be colour hue variations due to differences between digital toner and traditional wet ink printing. We suggest printing all cards on the same print method. 

Staff Tip! - Bundle your linen business cards with linen postcards, linen letterhead and envelopes to create a proper stationery set.

Design Mind Light ink coverage is recommended on this matte, textured stock. Floods of ink or heavy ink coverage will produce a sheen and highlight the crosshatch pattern of the stock.

Can Uncoated Cards Have Frayed Edges?

It is common to see "frayed / rough edges" on uncoated stocks, especially with ink coverage that extends to the edge of the cards. When a stock is not coated the fibres can break loose when trimmed. Choosing a coated or laminated card will help avoid this issue.

Are Colours Subdued On Uncoated Cards?

Uncoated stocks produce subdued, muted colours that may appear dull compared to coated stocks with low lustre aqueous or high gloss UV coatings.

Can Uncoated Cards Crack If Scored?

The fiber in uncoated cards may break when scored to fold, producing what appears to be cracks in the paper. If you don't like crack we suggest, you choose a coated stock instead.

Can Grey Colours Shift?

CMYK Process colours in the grey range and de-saturated images can shift in colour throughout the print run and may cause the greys to appear either cooler or warmer. For a neutral grey, we recommend converting all grey values and de-saturated images to true greyscale consisting of K (black) only values.

Is there colour variation on solid blue?

Due to the nature of club-run printing, you may experience colour variation in solid fills of blue/ For great blue results, we recommend a 30% difference between your Cyan and Magenta levels to ensure a nice rich dark blue, rather than purple.

Should You Use Rich Black?

For the richest of deep dark blacks in print use 50/40/40/100 as the CMYK value. If printing small black text (or knocked out text) we recommend a k only black (0/0/0/100) to avoid misregistration issues.

Can I Use Small Text On Uncoated Cards?

Uncoated stocks are more grainy and fibrous than other stocks, so if you are looking for really sharp lines or micro text a coated stock will be up to that challenge.

Can I Write On Uncoated Cards?

Write up a storm! Unlike our coated options, these cards work perfect as stamp cards, appointment cards, or a business card that you can scrawl a note across the back. You've found a match.
