About Silk Business Cards 400gsm (Unlaminated)
Product specifications sourced from our UK print partners.
Don’t worry if you’re not sure about your artwork
We check every file before it goes to print. If we spot something that could affect the finished result, we’ll review it and help you get it sorted wherever we can. We won’t send artwork to production if we think there’s a problem.
For the best print result, please prepare your file using these product-specific guidelines:
- Supply a print-ready PDF in CMYK with all fonts outlined or embedded
- Build the file at the finished trim size with 3mm bleed on every edge
- Keep text, logos and borders at least 5mm inside the trim
- Supply all images at 300 DPI at final size — screen-resolution images (72 DPI) will print soft
- Single pages please, no crop marks or printer's marks inside the artwork area
- Use rich black (C40 M30 Y30 K100) for large solid black areas; 100% K alone looks grey
- RGB files are converted to CMYK for press, which can shift bright blues, greens and oranges
- Hairline rules should be at least 0.25pt so they hold on press
Not sure if your file is suitable? Send it anyway — we’ll check it before production.

Silk Business Cards 400gsm (Unlaminated) buying guide
Written by our studio team — what to choose, and what usually goes wrong.
Weight is measured in gsm (grams per square metre) and it is the single biggest factor in how a card feels.
- 350gsm — the practical minimum for a professional card. Sturdy, economical, ideal for high-volume handouts.
- 400gsm — noticeably more substantial. The usual choice when the card is doing premium work.
- 450gsm and above — specialist and folded cards, where rigidity matters.
