A triple layered card is three sheets of board bonded into one, with a coloured core running through the middle. You see it on the edge — a fine line of colour all the way round the card — and you feel it the moment you pick one up. At 810gsm it is roughly twice the thickness of a normal premium card, so it does not bend in a wallet and it does not get thrown away. Worth it where the card is doing real work for you: consultants, studios, jewellers, restaurants, anyone whose first impression is the whole sale.

Artwork: print-ready PDF at 85 x 55mm plus 3mm bleed, CMYK, 300dpi, fonts outlined or embedded. Supply front and back as separate pages, not as a spread. Keep text and logos at least 4mm inside the trim — on a card this thick the cut edge is a feature, and you want clean space beside it rather than type running up against the core.
About the core: the colour is part of the board, not something we print, and it shows on the cut edges only. Pick a core that contrasts with your artwork for the boldest edge, or match it to your brand colour.
