These cards designed by Villainy and Associates really make you stop and turn the thing over in your hand. The understated typographic design gives the letterpress production value emphasis. It’s simple and pseudo executive – flashy without being too flashy.
We printed letterpress metallic gold for the information and letterpress varnish on the logotype. We like using a varnish on dark stocks for a tone on tone effect. That gives a slightly better legibility than a totally blind, inkless impression. The stock is a thick 200lb Wausau Eclipse Black with metallic gold edge coloring.
Man, that’s sharp!
I happened upon your website today via Twig & Thistle. These cards are beautiful!
Amazing!
How did you do the gold edges?
We are happy to share any advice about press work. However, as to specifics about our edge coloring process, we keep the “how to” in house as a specialty and are guarded about details. (We do this process for many other printers as well.) We are happy to quote your project if you send us specifications.
These are some of the most gorgeous and badass business cards I’ve ever seen.
Hi there, please can you give me a quote on these business cards? Can you price up doing 100, 250 and 500 of them? And also is it possible to have silver edges? Thanks

To whom it may concern-
I would like a price quote if possible for the Villainy black business cards. Also wondering if it is possible to have a colour other than gold for edging and text.
Many thanks and kind regards,
