How your Custom Business Card Holder is Made
We print your designs directly onto the lid using dye sublimation, so the inks are fused directly into the surface creating a permanent print. To recreate that natural, etched or engraved effect, we feather your designs around the edges, so there's not a harsh, definitive line where your design ends. It's important that your business cards are kept safe and crease free, so we make a small indent on top of the lid surface, creating a locking catchment. The lid slides shut past this catchment and keep the custom business card holder closed whilst in your bag or pocket.
Care Instructions
Surface wipe with a damp cloth only. In order to preserve the life of the print, refrain from scrubbing. The tin we use to make your business card case is naturally strong and rust resistant, built to withstand ordinary everyday wear and tear, however hard, deep scratches will have an impact on the surface.
Design Tips
As your business card case is only small, one standout image or short message would guarantee you the best possible result. To incorporate your business' logo and personal contact information, a clever idea is to create a design mimics your actual business card. When placed on the table during meetings, it'll be obvious to your colleagues or clients that you mean business and want to grow your professional relationship. Your designs are feathered around the edges of the lid, giving a nice, rustic charm.
Design a pair of custom business card holders for you and your partner so there's a distinguished difference between your stationery and office equipment. This is ideal if you are business partners or both work from home. If you're both designers, a cool idea is to print your individual favourite pantone colours.
Business
Make sure everybody in your department is equipped with a bespoke business card case so at a moment's notice they can present their card and develop business opportunities. Printed with their name and your company's logo, it's a sure fire way to ensure everybody is professionally representing the brand at all times.
Design Brand
Striking that balance between work and personal life is essential in this day and age, so let your customers combine the two with a jazzy business card case. Printed with your original artwork onto the lid, people can show off their style and personality through the medium of your designs, even when they're busy at work.
Frequently asked questions:
Where is my design printed?
Your design is printed directly onto the slide lid, creating a cool, metallic finish with a rustic quality. No white is printed before, so the inks are fused together with the silver metal.
Is my business card case secure?
The lid slides open and shut, and has a locking catchment for extra safety, keeping your cards from falling out in your bag. The slide functionality also ensures you can't lose the lid.
How many cards does it hold?
Your custom business card holder can fit approximately 20-30 standard weight business cards. However this will of course depend on the thickness and style of your business cards.

We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi, this means that no resizing of your file occurs stopping any interpolation.
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?
For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?
We advise providing images in the RGB colour space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best colour results.What does this mean? In your editing software choose RGB as the working space, and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
What does GSM mean?
Grams per Square Meter (GSM) is an international standard for measuring the weight of paper or fabric. GSM uses the weight of a square meter (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a given fabric. We class 20-100gsm as light (summer fabrics, gauzes and fine silks), 101-249 gsm as medium (most clothing fabrics) and 250+ gsm as heavy (upholstery fabrics, and other specialist fabrics).
What are bleed areas?
When designing your product, it’s best to make sure that your image is slightly larger than needed. In printing, the extra printed image is referred to as a “Bleed Area” or margin, and it is removed from the finished piece. A bleed area acts as a buffer for slight inconsistencies in the manufacturing process. however, it’s important to fill your bleed areas completely, or you may end up with white, unprinted strips along the edge of your finished product.
Do you print on garments a customer supplies?
Unfortunately not. All our garments are printed on flat fabric and sewn into finished products, which gives a better-finished result and all-over print. We test meticulously so that we know what gets the best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. We do however print sublimation paper to order, so if you have access to a heat press you can press your fabrics or flat garments easily.
Can you Align a Pattern or design across panels of a garment?
We always strive for the greatest accuracy when printing and constructing your garments. However, due to unavoidable stretch or movement of the fabric during the stitching process, we cannot guarantee perfect pattern registration across garment seams. We are generally accurate within 2-3mm, which is close enough for most patterns but may show slight issues with detailed geometric patterns.
Can I print my own Labels?
Most of our garments now come with printable label space for you to add your own company information and branding. If you would like to sew in your own labels, we also offer Printed Fabric Labels here.
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfilment.
Please note: As everything we provide is handmade to order, all measurements may vary slightly.
