A business card is supposed to work for you 24/7. The problem is most of them are forgettable... or worse, they feel cheap. 😱
Stock is the part people feel before they finish reading. Finish affects whether your QR code scans in bright light. Size determines whether the card survives a pocket or ends up lost in a bag.
These aren't small decisions. They're the difference between a card someone keeps and one that goes straight in the trash.
We put together a full guide — sizes, paper stocks, finishes, how to design a QR code that actually gets used, and the most common mistakes we see people make. If you've ever stared at print options and thought "I just want something that looks good and feels like me," this one's for you.
