People that started their own business have always fought the anonymity and the lack of advertising. Here comes the site I am talking about today, the hero of those who need to advertise themselves.

Aura-Print is an UK&USA based company that makes our life easier since 2007 by trading business cards, flyers, tags and stationary.

The site has a beautiful layout and it is super simple to use, having a variety of models and material for business cards. On their site you can use the business card maker, in case you have no idea about what the overall image looks. They have a massive range of options for editing and writing. If you have the image in your head and also a pdf ready image for your desired business, you can upload your original artwork or order personalised cards, made with their designer assistance.

The materials on the site are based on two types: Luxury, which is quite expensive but the quality of them are worth the money.

The materials are:

• Silk
• Uncoated
• Recycled
• Kraft
• Conqueror
• Coloured card
• Colour core
• Pearlescent
• Magnetic

Here are a few examples:

This material is by far the most elegant one and I would recommend you this type of business cards for those who have make-up and beauty based business as it gives off a very elegant and beautiful vibe with the tiny golden details on the shiny white.

For those that have gaming based business, the die-cut cards are the best for advertising. The retro font sends you back to Super Mario video game that looks stunning as an aesthetic.

This one is by far the cutest and funniest aesthetic ones. The mini cards are simply beautiful by their minimalism and colourfulness. Practical and aesthetically cute, the cards are a golden ticket for everyone that wants to show their creative and colourful side of the business.

If you are unsure of my words, but still interested in their creativity, you can always order a sample pack to help you choose your style.

The sample pack is as cheap as £1.95 for a pack of cards that are made of:

• Silk 700gsm
• Uncoated 700gsm

• Recycled: 700gsm
• Kraft: 518gsm
• Conqueror Contour Diamond White: 600gsm
• Conqueror Wove Diamond White: 600gsm
• Conqueror Laid Diamond White: 600gsm
• G.F Smith Colour plan: 540gsm
• Colour-Core With Soft Touch Laminate: 800gsm
• Raised Spot UV With Matt Laminate: 400gsm
• Rounded Corners With Matt Laminate: 700gsm
• Painted Edges With Soft Touch Laminate: 700gsm
• Folded With Gloss Laminate: 400gsm

The price for this pack is a steal for its quality of image and material. My personal favourite material is the recycled paper as we live in these hard times when we want to try and save the planet by recycling as much as we can and everything starts to become eco-friendly. If you are an eco-friendly freak, I would recommend the recycled material ones. Example below.

• Made from 100% recycled paper
• Feels and looks just like regular paper
• Ideal for being eco-conscious

You can get the business cards as soon as two working days or even the next day, which is practical and fast. The first time I entered in the Aura-Print universe, I was mesmerised by all the options and colours and materials they hand also that the price is not exaggerated, which is a big surprise. Besides UK and US, the site delivers and outside, in Europe.

Overall, as a first time client, I am impressed with their high-quality products and recommend it to everyone that wants to step out of the anonymity.
