Color Core Printing: What is it?

When it comes to making the best possible impression, your business cards and personalised invites need to stand out – not just with bold and brilliant designs, but with the quality and feel of the card itself. This is where our innovative Colour Core printing comes in.

Colour Core cardstock is a heavyweight, premium material that features a vibrant, coloured central layer sandwiched between two smooth outer sheets of paper. This creates a striking edge that contrasts beautifully with the surface of your card, adding a unique touch that goes way beyond standard cardstock.

With a mighty weight of 800gsm, Colour Core cards are thicker, more luxurious, and designed to make a real statement. Whether you’re handing out business cards, sending invitations, or distributing brand-new business flyers, Colour Core printing delivers a result curated to set you apart from the rest.

Innovation at its Best: How We Make Colour Core

Our Colour Core card is crafted in-house with precision and care, ensuring top-notch quality every single time, and it starts with bonding together four layers of premium paper by hand. The outer layers are made of 160gsm smooth white paper, while the middle ‘core’ consists of a double-thick 480gsm colored card in virtually any color! This construction gives the final product its robust, high-end feel.

Once the core is assembled, we finish your print with stunning metallic foil options and lamination for durability and shine. Thanks to its rigid structure, Colour Core is perfect for flat products like business cards, flyers, and luxury invites – but it’s not suitable for prints that need to be folded or creased.

For the famous colored core, we use G.F. Smith Colourplan cardstock, known for its premium quality, ensuring your Colour Core products not only feel luxurious but also look their absolute best. After printing, each card is meticulously checked and trimmed, ensuring that the colored edge is flawless and the final design pops.

Why Choose Colour Core for Your Project?

Colour Core business cards are designed to make an impact from the moment they cross palms. The added thickness and colored central layer create an eye-catching visual effect that fully distinguishes your cards from the rest. Imagine a pop of red, blue, or even green peeking from the sides of your card, drawing attention to your brand and its keen eye for detail.

But it’s not just about looks. Oh no, that extra thickness provides a solid, weighty feel that screams high quality. When someone holds a Colour Core card, they feel the difference – making your card more memorable and ensuring it’s less likely to be discarded with the rest.

Moreover, Colour Core cards offer the same design flexibility and standard cards. You can print anything you like on the front and back, and you’re free to add metallic foil and any other finishing touches to take your Colour Core products even further. With a rainbow of colors to choose from for your core layer, you have endless possibilities to perfectly match your branding and design.
