What makes a card feel premium

  • Clean typography
  • Balanced spacing
  • High-contrast colors
  • A quality finish (matte/gloss/soft-touch)

Thickness

Thicker can feel premium, but design matters more than thickness.

Design tips

  • Keep text readable
  • Don’t overload info
  • Use one strong logo + one strong CTA (website/QR)

Pro tip

If you’re unsure, start simple — minimal design always looks more premium.
