I used the open source Gimp to preprocess the images that would make up the card and Inkscape to compose the final card, but any decent graphics program should do. If you want to make a Pokémon business card you first need some tools. I think they turned out pretty well, and here I’m just going to give some pointers on how I did them. For example, if you want to use rough linen paper, die cutting or laser engraving your logo might not be the best option because of the uneven paper texture and risk of potential fraying.As I’m in the industry now I figured I needed some business cards and as it seems the 90s never left us and Japanese monsters are hip again, I decided to make them Pokémon themed. You must also be aware of how your paper choice will influence other finishes. But if you want a more natural look, you should choose an uncoated paper that will have a softer, textured appearance. Coated paper has a thin film added to its surface to make it smooth and polished with a crisper print. If you decide on a glossy, semi-gloss, or matte finish, you’ll need to choose a coated paper. You can also have your business cards printed on colored paper. Card stock is the paper type you'll use and includes the paper's texture, material, and weight.Ĭard stock is thicker than normal bond paper that’s used for printing documents the standard paper thickness used for business cards is 300 gsm or heavier.
These decisions, along with your business card dimensions, determine the kind of card stock you can use.
