Custom Wooden Business Cards
Our wooden business cards are available in six distinct species of wood: bamboo, basswood, beech, cherry wood, sapele, and walnut. Bamboo, basswood, beech, cherry wood, sapele, walnut Each card is made from 1.6mm thick wooden sheets and has rounded corners, making it suitable for use as keyrings, business cards, or VIP identification cards. These heavy-duty hardwood business cards are ideal for laser engraving or silk-screen printing in full color on both sides.
Business cards made of paper or plastic lack the warmth and natural beauty that wood business cards have. Wood cards are an excellent choice for an artisan, designer, or contemporary business since they offer a gorgeous, natural, one-of-a-kind aesthetic that is hard to find elsewhere. We have professionally designed our wooden business cards in order to give any business card a more natural appearance. Whether you choose Cherry Wood or Beech, you’ll be able to see the subtle differences in grain patterns.
In order to manufacture our classic hardwood business cards, we use cutting edge CO2 laser milling technology. The words and artwork are laser etched into the card’s surface at a breathtaking resolution of 1200dpi, resulting in a card that is both durable and beautiful. Additionally, laser engraving and silk screening can be added to this business card to make it a truly unique piece of marketing collateral.
Additionally, in addition to laser cutting through the wooden business card, we can change the shape of the card by die cutting wood from the edges in to any unique shape that you choose. For as long as the selected shape falls within the dimensions of a standard business card, there is no additional charge.
All of the veneer and core that goes into the production of our wooden business cards comes from managed forests that are completely sustainable, biodegradable, and compostable. Because we utilize light to etch the pattern rather than ink to print it, there are no hazardous chemicals used in the process.
Cards Made of Beech Wood
The color of beech wood is the lightest of the wood colors we provide. The grain of this cream-colored wood is gentle and delicate, and it has a pleasant texture. Balsa wood and beech wood are similar in appearance; however, beech wood has a longer grain and is a tougher wood.
Basswood Business Cards
Our basswood business cards are available in a variety of sizes. This stock has a light hue and a slight wood feel, making it an excellent choice for artwork with brilliant colors.
Cherry Wood Business Cards
With a stronger wood grain design and a medium wood tone in a distinctive cherry color, our cherry wood business card option is a good choice.
Walnut Wooden Business Cards
Walnut is our most popular wooden business card. This darker brown wood tone is appropriate for use in dark-colored interior design schemes. Use black ink or white foil to achieve the best results possible.
How should I care for my wooden business cards?
In nature, wood contracts and expands as a result of environmental elements such as temperature and humidity, among other things. Attempt to keep your wood product free from extreme temperature and humidity changes if you want to keep it in the greatest condition possible.
In order to avoid the wood stock from distorting due to excessive moisture levels, it is recommended to keep the humidity levels between 50 and 70%. Humidity levels that are either too high or too low can cause wood to warp or swell. In extremely rare instances, temperature-induced warping, contraction, or expansion of the wood can cause the two plies of a 2-ply item to curl apart near the edges of the item’s perimeter.
Keep your wood items in good condition by storing them in a paper container (or wrapping them in paper) to prevent moisture from getting into them.
Stretch out your wood product in a room with a typical room temperature (approximately 25 degrees Celsius) and the appropriate humidity levels if it is warping. By applying additional pressure, the warping can be corrected (try placing something flat and heavy on top, like a textbook).

What are the benefits of using wooden business cards?
The natural wood grain texture of our Wood Product Line is a little rougher than the texture of standard paper, which is to be expected. As a result, there are a few considerations to bear in mind while printing on wood in order to produce the finest results possible.
Natural wood cards must be printed on both sides and have a wood or paper backing to be effective. The grainy wood grain finish will allow the printed image to be seen through it. It is possible that the hue of the wood is responsible for the color shifting in the design. Darker wood stocks, such as Cherry and Walnut, will show greater evidence of color change than lighter ones. The most effective designs are those with minimum ink coverage and basic design elements. The most effective results will be achieved through the use of bright, high-contrast designs. Natural Birch, Natural Cherry, and Natural Walnut are the three colors that are currently on the market.
When it comes to wood, what kind do you use and where do you obtain it from?
Our wood stocks are entirely composed of untreated, untreated virgin wood. The wood is supplied from sustainable and environmentally favorable forests. The creation of wood stock does not involve the use of water (as is the case in the pulping process for paper) or chemicals (such as bleach and colour for paper).
