Card Thickness

• Black — the most popular; reads as confident, modern, and adaptable to any brand palette
• White — clean, minimal contrast against most printed designs
• Gold or silver metallic — luxury signal; reads as premium hospitality, fashion, jewellery
• Red, navy, royal blue, hunter green — bold brand-colour matching
• Neon (pink, orange, yellow) — high-impact creative-industry positioning
• Custom Pantone match available — contact us with your brand colour specification

Card Size

• 3.5" x 2" — the universal North American standard; fits every wallet and card holder
• Custom sizes available on request — square cards and mini cards are popular in painted-side format

Print Side

• Single sided — front only; back left clean for a minimal, design-forward presentation
• Double sided — full colour both sides; ideal when face design works alongside QR code, social handles, or secondary brand imagery on the back

Finish on Face

• Matte — the most common pairing for painted side cards; lets the edge be the focal point
• Soft-touch — velvet-like tactile finish that pairs naturally with the substantial card weight
• Spot UV (add-on) — selective gloss accents on logo or key design elements against a matte field

Finish Comparison

• Painted side (this product) — ultra-thick multi-layer card with coloured edge; maximum visual signature, highest perceived value
• Laminated — plastic film bonded to surface; high durability premium feel; available on Laminated Business Cards
• Standard finish — matte, gloss, or uncoated paper finish; available on Classic Business Cards

Quantity & Pricing

• Spot UV accents — selective high-gloss spots on logo or design elements against a matte field
• Foil stamping — metallic foil pressed into the surface for additional luxury signal
• Embossing or debossing — raised or recessed design elements that add tactile depth
• Standard turnaround: 5–7 business days after artwork approval (longer than standard cards because of the multi-layer lamination and edge painting process)

Graphics Decal HQ is Winnipeg's locally operated full-service print and branding shop — trusted by Manitoba luxury brokerages, premium service brands, creative agencies, and executive teams to produce specialty business cards that perform as brand statements rather than just contact-information carriers. Painted side cards are a precision specialty product: multiple paper layers have to bond cleanly so the side wall reads as a single solid card rather than a visible sandwich, edge paint has to be applied evenly without bleeding onto the face, and the trim has to be perfect because painted edges expose any inconsistency immediately. Our Winnipeg production team delivers the consistency and finish quality that the format demands.

Important note for painted side card design: the format does not support edge-bleed designs the way standard cards do; the painted edge becomes the design boundary, so artwork should be designed with margin allowance from the trim. Our Winnipeg team reviews every file before press and will flag any issues that affect edge appearance, lamination, or finish.

Our high-resolution digital and offset printing followed by precision edge painting means your brand colours and edge match come through with the saturation the format is engineered to deliver. We offer local pickup at 2095 Logan Avenue, Winnipeg — ready in 5 to 7 business days — as well as Canada-wide shipping for businesses ordering from across Manitoba and beyond.

For other business card finishes, see our [Classic Business Cards] for the standard finish range, or [Laminated Business Cards] for soft-touch and gloss laminated premium finishes. To pair painted side cards with matching premium marketing collateral, see our [Laminated Post Cards], [Laminated Invitation Cards], or [UV Coated Brochures]. For card storage and display, see our [Business Card Stand] and [Card Holders].

We are also a 3M Certified Graphics Installation Company and a CBSA-approved barcode printer — credentials that reflect the standard of quality and compliance we bring to every product we produce.

Painted side business cards are the right choice for Winnipeg professionals and Canadian organizations whose card has to do more than carry contact information — it has to perform as a brand statement and a tactile signal of premium positioning:

• Luxury real estate brokerages and top-producing agents across Winnipeg's Tuxedo, River Heights, Bridgwater, and Wellington Crescent whose listings command price points that justify a card that matches
• Creative agencies, design studios, photographers, and architects across Manitoba whose cards have to demonstrate craft, attention to detail, and aesthetic sensibility in three seconds
• Executive leadership and founders at Manitoba businesses where the card represents authority, investment, and brand confidence at the highest level
• Lawyers, financial advisors, and private wealth professionals in Winnipeg distributing cards in client onboarding where the price of the service is reflected in the price of the touch points
• Luxury retail, jewellery, fashion, and high-end product brands using painted side cards as a tactile signal of brand positioning at point of sale and in packaging
• Boutique hospitality brands, fine dining, and premium hotels handing out cards as a signal of investment and curated experience
• Wedding planners, event designers, and luxury venue operators in Winnipeg distributing cards that have to set expectations for the level of service to follow
• Brand-launch events and rebranding rollouts where a single round of painted side cards becomes a tangible artifact of the new brand identity
• VIP and member-only programs where the card itself is part of the membership experience rather than just a contact carrier
