I love the idea of the earthy, environmentally friendly craft paper cards & thought it would be perfect for my gardening business. I also did a design on a different card, with white background, and embossed printing, as I couldn’t decide between the two. The verdict is that - the craft paper cards felt flimsy in comparison with the other design. - Unfortunately embossed printing was not an option with the craft paper, which would have been the ideal option for me, as it helps my beautiful logo to stand out. - The feedback I received was that the craft paper would get dirty & if in contact with water, would not fair very well. - For the purpose of my business, it was not the best option and it was almost three times the price of the premium quality white card, with embossed printing. - It still looked beautiful, but perhaps a bit underwhelming. - For the right business, looking for an environmentally friendly, earthy design, it would be perfect though.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that the Kraft Business Cards didn’t meet your expectations, especially given the care you put into selecting a design that would reflect the values of your gardening business. This isn’t the VistaPrint experience we want you to have, and we appreciate the opportunity to assist. With the attached image as reference, we understand your concerns about the paper’s durability, the lack of embossing options, and the overall value compared to our premium white card stock. You’re absolutely right, while the kraft paper offers a beautiful, earthy aesthetic and is both recyclable and compostable, it may not be the best fit for designs requiring vibrant color contrast or enhanced durability. As noted on our product page, metallic foil and spot UV finishes are not currently available for kraft cards, and the stock is 283 gsm uncoated, which can feel lighter than other premium options. Additionally, our FAQ highlights that kraft cards work best with simple designs and dark ink. Lighter colors like orange or yellow may not appear as vividly, and white ink cannot be printed on kraft paper. For designs like yours, where the logo deserves to stand out, we recommend exploring alternatives such as: - Glossy Business Cards (https://www.vistaprint.com.au/business-cards/glossy): Sleek, shiny front ideal for vibrant colors and modern designs - Spot UV Business Cards 9https://www.vistaprint.com.au/business-cards/raised-print): Raised, clear gloss on matte or soft touch paper - Foil Business Cards 9https://www.vistaprint.com.au/business-cards/foil-business-cards): Gold or silver raised foil on 400 gsm premium matte stock Your insight is incredibly valuable, and we’ll be sharing it with our product team to help improve future offerings. If you have any questions or would like help selecting a more suitable option for your next order, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d love to help you find something that truly reflects your brand and delivers the quality you deserve.
