The metallic plastic cards are full colour printed on 0.30mm white PVC cards with rounded corners. The metallic effect comes out from the background and looks gorgeous..
2. Can Metallic Background Plastic Business Cards be written on?
Unfortunately not, even a permanent marker cannot be used to write on such card stock.
5.Can I have white text on the metallic background plastic cards?
Yes, but don't like other CMYK colous, the white text can't be printed in the CMYK printing process or we have no white colour. To have the white colour on the translucent or transparent plastic cards, we need add an white blocker/ink on the white area before print. The 'white blocker area' can also increase opacity of the colour printed on top to give it more vibrancy against the frosted plastic. As an additional option, the white blocker does not include in the price of our standard plastic frosted or clear business cards. It will be added as per your design at extra cost.

Unfortunately, the standard corners of all our plastic cards including the frosted business cards are rounded corners.

1. Print colour may vary from print run to print run and/or from job to job or from front to back.
2. Boostprint will reproduce colour from digital files as closely as
possible, but may not exactly match colour and density due to limitations in the proofing and printing process, as well as neighbouring image ink requirements.
3. A reasonable variation in colour between original materials, proofs and the completed order, will be considered acceptable print quality.
4. It is important to note the technical limitations of screen, digital and offset printing processes.
5. Where CMYK designs are used, a higher degree of colour variation is normal. While every effort is made to reproduce the colours on chemical and professional digital proofs Boostprint Pty Ltd shall not be liable to reprint or otherwise compensate the client for a commercially acceptable variation in colour when comparing the proof to the final product, the disc to paper parts, or throughout a printed batch of products.
