Not every great card needs a coating. GRAFIQ's small visiting card without lamination is rated 4.3 stars by 196 verified customers and is chosen by professionals who know that a natural, uncoated paper surface is a deliberate design statement. The absence of lamination means the card breathes: natural paper texture, honestly printed, and fully writeable — so you can personalise every card you hand over with a note, a number, or an offer.

Printed on quality paper stock using advanced offset technology for sharp text and accurate colour on every card. Choose single side printing, or upgrade to single side with a clean black reverse — ideal for QR codes, website URLs, or a bold brand line in white on black.

Not every great card needs a coating. GRAFIQ's small visiting card without lamination is rated 4.3 stars by 196 verified customers and is chosen by professionals who understand that a clean, natural paper surface is a deliberate design statement — not a compromise. The absence of lamination means the card breathes: the paper texture is tactile and honest, the surface is naturally writeable, and the print sits directly on the stock with a clarity that some finishes actually obscure. In the design world, unlaminated cards are a recognised mark of confidence — the brand is strong enough to need no extra coating to make an impression.
The compact small format sets this card apart from the standard 90 × 53 mm visiting card. Smaller in footprint, it fits neatly into slim cardholders, modern minimalist wallets, phone case slots, and point-of-sale displays where standard cards can feel oversized. It is a format increasingly common in contemporary branding — smaller, cleaner, more purposeful. Printed using advanced offset technology on quality paper stock for sharp text, accurate colour, and clean edges on every card in the batch.
Two printing options are available: single side print, or single side print with a black reverse — a clean, high-contrast back that is ideal for appointment details, service menus, discount codes, or website addresses. The uncoated surface means the back can also be written on by hand — useful for personalising cards at the point of exchange with a note, a phone number, or an offer.
Production is completed in 3 working days. Bulk pricing available for high-volume orders with pan-India delivery.
Natural uncoated paper — tactile honesty as a brand signal: In a market full of glossy, laminated, foiled, and UV-coated cards, an uncoated card stands out precisely because it does not try to impress through finish. The natural paper texture communicates directness, confidence, and authenticity. Many of the world's most respected design studios, architects, and creative professionals specifically choose unlaminated cards — the absence of coating is the statement. For brands that lead with personality rather than polish, this surface is the right choice.
Writeable surface — personalise at the point of exchange: No laminated card can be written on cleanly. An uncoated card can. At a networking event, a client meeting, or a retail counter, the ability to write a personal note, a direct number, a discount code, or an appointment time on the back of your visiting card creates a personal interaction that a pre-printed, laminated card cannot. The handwritten addition transforms a mass-printed card into a personalised communication tool.
Compact small format — modern, minimal, fits everywhere: The standard 90 × 53 mm visiting card was designed for an era of large wallets and filing systems. The compact small visiting card format is designed for how professionals actually carry cards today — in slim cardholders, phone cases, tight wallet slots, and lanyard pouches. The smaller footprint also means more cards fit in a single holder, making display at a reception desk, retail counter, or event table more practical.
Black reverse option — bold, clean, and purposeful: The single side + black back printing option gives the front face of the card a clean, colourful front design while the reverse presents a high-contrast solid black surface — ideal for a website URL, a QR code printed in white, a single line of contact information, or a minimalist brand mark. The combination of a full-colour front and a clean black reverse is one of the most legible and visually confident card formats available at this price point.
High-volume practical — order more, spend smart: For businesses that hand out cards in genuine volume — retail front-of-counter, service professionals who give cards with every job, team members at trade shows — the without-lamination format makes high-quantity ordering practical. Automatic bulk pricing applies as quantity increases, and the 3-working-day production means restocking is fast enough to keep pace with active business use.
Graphic designers, illustrators and creative studios: Uncoated paper is the default material choice of the design world — it signals that the brand is confident enough in its typography and identity that it needs no coating to communicate quality. A compact unlaminated card is the business card equivalent of a clean, well-set minimal poster: the content is the statement, and the surface simply gets out of the way.
Local service professionals — electricians, plumbers, technicians and repair shops: Service professionals who hand their card at every job, attach it to invoices, leave it at customer premises, and reorder regularly need a card that is practical, clear, and produced quickly in quantity. The unlaminated format delivers sharp contact information on a clean surface, fast reorder turnaround, and bulk pricing that makes keeping a stock of cards at all times cost-effective.
Retail store owners and shop managers: For shops that display cards at the till, include them in bags, or hand them to every customer, the compact small format has clear practical advantages — more cards fit in a counter display stand, they slip neatly into paper bags, and the smaller size makes them feel like a modern branded accessory rather than a standard card. The black reverse option is ideal for printing a QR code linking to the store's online catalogue or social profile.
Students, freshers and professionals starting out: A first visiting card should be clean, professional, and sharply printed — it does not need to be laminated to make a good impression. The without-lamination small format gives new professionals a properly printed, properly sized card with a natural paper finish that reads as considered rather than unfinished. It is the intelligent starting point for professional networking on a practical budget.
Brands with a sustainability or eco-conscious positioning: Laminated cards contain a layer of plastic film that is not recyclable. An unlaminated paper card is fully recyclable and biodegradable. For brands that communicate environmental values — organic food companies, sustainable fashion labels, wellness brands, eco-conscious startups — an uncoated card is consistent with the brand's own standards for materials and consumption.

Canvas size: Download the product-specific template from the product page for exact dimensions with bleed and safe zone marked. The compact format dimensions differ from the standard 90 × 53 mm visiting card.
Safe zone: Keep all critical text and logos at least 3 mm inside the trim edge to avoid cut-off.
Colour on uncoated paper: Uncoated paper absorbs ink slightly differently from laminated stock — colours appear slightly softer and more natural. This is a characteristic of the material, not a print defect. Rich, saturated colours and bold typography perform particularly well. Very pale or low-contrast designs may appear lighter than expected — increase colour density for best results.
Black reverse design tip: For the black back option, design back-side content in white or a light colour against the black background. A QR code, a single URL, a tagline, or a service list in white on black is legible, modern, and impactful.
