Business Card Printing & Stationery

Business card printing and coordinated stationery from our Yorkshire print site, including letterheads, compliment slips and options such as foil and spot UV.

Corporate stationery is the most frequently handled piece of print in any business - a business card crosses hands at every meeting, a letterhead is sent with every formal communication. Getting the colour, stock and finish right across the entire suite is what separates professional print from something that looks close enough on screen but falls flat in the hand.

Fretwell prints stationery in-house using FOGRA-certified (the German printing industry standard for colour accuracy) colour management, which means your Pantone brand colours are matched precisely and stay consistent from the first run to every reprint. We produce the whole suite together - cards, letterheads, comp slips, envelopes - so everything looks like one considered brand, not a collection of close approximations.

Minimum quantities for business cards start from 250, letterheads from 250 and stationery suites can be mixed and matched across items. For smaller quantities or one-off samples before committing to a full suite, our digital presses allow short-run production without compromising on colour accuracy.

Premium Finishes for Business Cards & Stationery

Our range of finishes goes well beyond standard litho. The right finish can transform a standard business card into a brand statement, and knowing which finish to choose for your brand is where our experience makes a real difference.

Soft-touch laminationBest for luxury and premium brands. Creates a silky, tactile feel that elevates a standard card.
Hot foil stampingGold, silver or custom foil colours. Highly visible and premium - ideal for logos, brand marks and key text.
Spot UV varnishGloss highlights over a matt laminated base. Creates striking contrast and a tactile element without adding metallic colour.
Embossing / debossingRaised or recessed lettering or logos. Adds tactile depth without colour - powerful for minimal, luxury designs.
Duplex board (450gsm)Two sheets of 225gsm laminated together. Creates an unusually substantial card that makes a strong impression in the hand.
