Executive networking name card specifications
In Singapore and regional Asian business culture, the physical exchange of business cards with both hands is a vital ceremonial touchpoint. Flimsy 250gsm cards convey budget compromise; heavyweight 350–400gsm cards project financial solidity and institutional authority.
Substrates & Caliper Calibrations
- 350gsm Two-Side Coated Art Card: Caliper ~0.38 mm. High-density bleached chemical pulp with triple kaolin blade coating. Resists bending when carried in delegate card cases.
- 400gsm Heavyweight Velvet Board: Caliper ~0.44 mm. Substantial, rigid executive handfeel with deep tactile gravity.
- Double-Sided Matte Silk Lamination: Thermal bonded biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film. Eliminates finger scuffing, edge chipping, and humidity curling.
- Ultra-High Precision Guillotine Trim: Hydraulic programmable guillotine trimming accurate to ±0.2 mm, ensuring pristine 90-degree square corners.
Embellishments & Craft Finishes
- Hot-Stamped Metallic Foil: Brass or copper magnesium dies heat-press micro-thin foil leaf (24K gold, silver, bronze, rose gold) into the paper surface with crisp specular reflection.
- Raised Spot UV Varnish: High-build glossy polymer applied selectively over logos or typography, creating a multi-sensory contrast against matte laminated grounds.
- Painted Edges: Edge gilding or solid Pantone ink applied along card calipers for bespoke distinction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard business card dimension used in Singapore and across Asia?
The recognized corporate standard in Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong is 90 × 54 mm. We also support the Western standard (85 × 55 mm) and North American standard (89 × 51 mm / 3.5 × 2.0 inches) upon request.
What paper weight and tactile finish provides the most professional executive handfeel?
We recommend 350gsm to 400gsm premium two-side coated art board finished with double-sided matte velvet silk lamination. This combination delivers substantial rigidity (caliper 0.38 to 0.44 mm) with a smooth, soft-touch surface that resists fingerprint marks.
Can metallic foil stamping and spot UV highlights be applied?
Yes. Hot-stamped metallic foil (24K gold, satin silver, rose gold, or copper) and raised dimensional spot UV varnish can be applied to corporate emblems and typography to create high-contrast tactile luxury.
