What does GSM mean?

GSM stands for Grams per Square Metre and refers to the thickness of the material. The higher the GSM, the heavier and thicker the paper. We offer Business Cards from 350gsm to 450gsm which is our heaviest standard business card, measuring approximately half a 0.5mm thick. But if you're after an even thicker business card, you should definitely check out our Luxurious Triplex Business Cards.

What is the standard UK Business Card size?

In the UK, the majority of Business Cards measure 85 x 55mm, which is roughly the same size as a credit card. It's a classic size that's widely recognised, appreciated and fits in a purse/wallet.

What is soft touch lamination?

Prepare to be amazed! Soft touch lamination is like a magical, ultra-thin clear coating that we apply to both sides of your Business Card after printing. It not only provides a protective shield against discolouration and fading but also adds a luxurious, velvety texture. Your Business Cards will feel as good as they look!

Are there any alternatives to 450gsm?

Absolutely! We offer a fantastic range of paper weights for our premium Business Cards, giving you plenty of options to choose from. And for those seeking an extra dose of thickness, our Triplex Business Cards will exceed your expectations.

Can laminated Business Cards be recycled?

Unfortunately, laminated paper poses a recycling challenge. Once the lamination is applied, it becomes difficult to separate the paper from the coating. While we love being environmentally friendly, we recommend exploring alternative eco-friendly options for your Business Cards.

SM1 Print Studio are absolute heroes. I found myself in a last-minute panic when our online print supplier failed to deliver some crucial branded materials for an upcoming event, without any notice. I urgently needed a solution, and the team at SM1 stepped in and saved the day. Not only was the turnaround incredibly fast, but they were also proactive, helpful, and genuinely committed to finding a way to get everything sorted despite the tight deadline. The quality of the print work was excellent, and their customer service was even better. What could have been a very stressful and costly situation turned into a success thanks to their flexibility, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile. I can’t recommend SM1 Print Studio highly enough. If you need reliable printing and exceptional service, they’re the team to call.

I can not recommend enough! We used them for wedding stationery and although it was estimated to be ready within 2 working days which is great, the turn around was the same day! Easy process and friendly staff, will be using them again in the future

We approached Sam and the team for help with my son's fundraising event. They went above and beyond and generously gifted the flyers which were printed extremely professionally and service was extremely quick. Thank you so much!

I have used SM1 print for almost a year now for my business printing. Sam and the team are absolutely fantastic to work with. Jobs are turned around as fast as they can and the quality is superb. When I asked to see where we could save some money, Sam's advice was straightforward and helpful. Whenever I've had a question about a job, or queried a price, everything has been explained well (to add, I think the price point is extremely competitive and the service and quality is worth every penny). Overall, I would 100% recommend SM1 print studio, I'm always met with a smile and a friendly chat, which makes the service all the more personal.

I ordered some coloured digital prints from SM1 Print, and there’s a reason they call their service Express Posters because it truly is lightning fast! I sent my files over on Monday and they were at my door the very next morning. Beyond the impressive turnaround time, the print quality and the vibrant colour were fantastic, all for a very reasonable price. The customer service was also top-notch throughout. Thanks again SM1 Print,
