Yes, Premium Black samples can be ordered through a Specialty Sample Pack from our Sample Pack Request page. Alternatively, you can pick up samples at any of our offices.

We do not print ink on our Premium Black stocks as it will not show. The only way to add detail to the cards is with a foil, screen print or an emboss.

If you choose Premium Black W1S cards, the white is available with full color CMYK.

Our unique 18pt Black Suede with Spot Black can be ordered in custom sizes such as European business card size, square shape or with rounded corners via submission of a Print Quote request. You may also request this stock for larger sized products like flyers.

Spot Gloss is only available on our 20pt Soft Touch stock (which is a white stock).

If you'd like a Premium Black stock but want a similar appearance to spot gloss, choose a clear or black foil. For a more cost effective alternative, opt for our 18pt Suede stock with Spot Black ink, though this option is only available on one side. You will have to go with a different print process on the other.

Our Premium Black cards are produced on an all-black card stock, so the the edges are black and the inside of the card is black (if you tear it apart). This is unique as most standard cards are white and printed with black ink to appear black.

As our Premium Black stocks are very dark, standard ink will not be visible when printed. Foil, Screen Print and Emboss are the only printing processes available on our Premium Black stocks.

Our Premium Black cards are a premium product due to the high quality and caliber of card that is used – as well as the higher production costs from foiling / embossing (rather than printing).
