PRINTING CARDS

A good business card must be very attractive and have an elegant and modern design.
But despite having a good design, the printing is often not up to standard due to a poor choice of paper, inks and colours that don't provided the expected results, etc.

1. Printing technology. Digital or offset.
2. Type and thickness of the paper. Glossy or rustic papers, from 200 to 300 grams...
3. Finishes: Coated glossy or matt, pantones, metallic inks, embossing, etc.
4. Quantity How many cards do you need? 100 cards? 1,000 cards?
5. Delivery period Do you need your urgent cards for right now?

Digital printing is ideal for small runs and/or urgent cards.
You can print just one unit, 100, 500 or 1,000 cards. It is perfect for test runs, so you can see what they will look like...

Digital printing has gained a great deal of quality, there is no longer banding or similar effects, the colours, even blacks and large areas of colour, now look perfect.

Urgent card printing. We can print your cards immediately, no need to wait for the ink to dry or anything like that...

And, as it no longer requires printing plates or layouts, the cost for few units is much more reasonable. Make the most of the advantages provided by digital printing.

Offset provides higher quality printing and professional finishes.
If you want your cards printed on high weight paper (350 gram, 400 gram...), special paper (laid, textured), if you want a specific pantones, or special inks (metallic, gold, silver, etc.), if you want an embossed finish, customised cuts, or anything like that, then you need offset printing.

Offset technology requires making printing plates, hence the initial expenses are higher. This also makes for longer delivery periods, given that the inks must be allowed to dry, etc.

In turn, with offset printing you will have important discounts for large quantities, i.e. the price per card drops vastly as the number of cards printed increases.

As of 1,000 cards, clients tend to choose offset printing.

It is easy to offer large discounts for printing your cards by reducing the weight of the paper or the printing quality, but is that what you really want...?

At Barcino we will help you reduce the printing cost to a minimum, but without loosing out on quality. That is why we like to spend time with each client, to understand their priorities and advise them so their cards are perfect, without spending any more money than they need to spend. A good tip can actually improve the quality of your printing, as well as reduce the cost: dies, inks, finishes...
