What Are Duplex Business Cards?

Updated yesterday

Duplex cards are made by mounting two separate sheets of stock together. The result is a thicker, more rigid card with a premium feel. You can keep both sides the same, or combine different textures, finishes, and colors to create something completely custom.

What Products Can Be Duplexed?

Duplexing isn’t just for business cards.

We can apply this process to a wide range of products, including:

  • Business cards

  • Postcards

  • Invitations

  • Greeting cards

  • Hang tags

  • Book covers

  • Packaging elements

It’s a flexible method that works across most of our flat paper products. If you’re building something custom, chances are we can duplex it.


Why Choose Duplex?

  • Thick, high-end feel

  • Pair different stocks for contrast

  • Visible color edge from side view

  • Great with foil, embossing, and letterpress
