Hi Creators,
We have another new premium business card that just landed in the Marketplace (we think it deserved its own announcement), and this one is all about standing out the moment it is handed over. Clear business cards are printed on durable, see-through plastic, so your designs take on a modern, high-impact look that paper simply cannot match. They come in two finishes: clear, for a fully transparent look with vibrant color, and frosted, for a soft, matte translucent feel.
If your customers want something that feels distinctly high-end, this gives you a fresh canvas to design for.Start designing here.
What makes them different Both finishes are built on premium 15 mil (0.015") plastic that is tough, flexible, and tear-resistant, so these cards hold up to daily handling far better than a standard paper card. The clear finish keeps colors vibrant and lets light pass straight through for a crisp, transparent look. The frosted finish has a soft matte surface that softens color for a more understated, refined feel. Either way, the result feels premium in the hand and looks like a brand that pays attention to detail.

Designing for a translucent card
Clear cards reward designs that work with the transparency rather than against it. A few things worth keeping in mind:
- Negative space is your friend. Letting parts of the card stay see-through is part of what makes the format feel special.
- The clear finish keeps color vibrant, while the frosted finish softens it, so pick the finish that suits the look you are going for and use bold tones or strong contrast where you want detail to stand out.
- Keep text and key details easy to read against a transparent background, and lean into clean, minimal layouts, monograms, or layered see-through effects.
