I was a little concerned about having my printing... I was a little concerned about having my printing done in the U.K. but Aura Print did a great job. The communication was good. The quality of their printing was much better than a popular American company I have been using. The product shipped and arrived quickly and was carefully packed. I recommend them.

The main thing to know about triplex business card printing is that it is made up of multiple layers. 3 to be exact. Making up the first and third layers of your Color Core business card is a sheet of white sticker paper. The center is then where the magic happens. A double thick stack of G.F Smith Colorplan paper. The white sticker material is first stuck onto individual sheets of Colorplan, which are then adhered, creating the Color Core business card we all know and love.

What Is a Triplex Business Card?
A triplex business card is made by bonding three separate paper layers together to create an ultra-thick card with a visible color core through the middle. The layered construction gives the card a noticeably heavier, tactile feel compared to standard business cards, making them popular with premium brands and creative industries.
How Are Triplex Business Cards Different From Duplex Business Cards?
Duplex business cards are made by bonding two layers together to create a thicker card stock. Triplex business cards use three layers, sandwiching 25pt GF Smith Colorplan between two fully printable outer white layers to create a substantial 38pt card with a visible colored core.
You can still print fully edge-to-edge on the outer layers, so the white stock is not visible from the face of the card. Instead, the color core reveals itself from the side profile, where the colored middle layer sits between two fine white outer layers to create the layered triplex edge effect.
Can I Choose the Color of the Core?
Yes. Triplex business cards are available with 16 different color core options designed to complement a wide range of branding styles, from subtle neutrals through to brighter statement colors. The colored middle layer remains visible around the edge of the card, allowing the core color to become part of the overall design rather than just the printed artwork.
Which Finishes Work Best on Triplex Business Cards?
Metallic foils and raised spot UV are popular finishing choices for triplex business cards because they add extra contrast, texture, and visual depth alongside the exposed color core. Metallic foils are available in 12 colors, allowing you to pair complementary foil and core combinations for a more cohesive overall finish.
Raised spot UV adds a clear raised gloss varnish over selected design elements to create extra texture and tactile contrast against the stock. Both metallic foils and raised spot UV require soft touch lamination, which adds a smooth finish that works naturally with the heavier card stock. Matte and gloss laminations are also available, alongside optional rounded corners for a softer edge profile.
Can I Print and Foil on Both Sides of a Triplex Business Card?
Yes. Both outer white layers can be fully printed and foiled, allowing edge-to-edge artwork, metallic foil details, and additional design elements across both sides of the card without affecting the exposed color core.
We have 12 metallic foils available to choose from, all of which can be physically examined by ordering a sample pack. Foils are often paired with complementary core colors to create a more cohesive overall finish. From the face of the card, the white stock is largely hidden by the printed artwork, while the colored middle layer remains visible around the edge profile to create the layered triplex effect.
Are Triplex Business Cards More Durable Than Standard Business Cards?
Yes. Their 800gsm layered construction makes them more resistant to bending, creasing, and general wear from repeated handling compared to standard business card stocks. Laminated finishes can also add extra surface protection for cards carried regularly in wallets, pockets, or card holders.
Are Triplex Business Cards Suitable for Minimal Designs?
Triplex business cards are often used by brands that want a more refined and design-led feel without overcrowding the artwork itself. The color core, heavier layered construction, metallic foils, and raised spot UV can all contribute to the elevated visual character of the design, meaning the stock and finish can do much of the work without relying on overly busy print designs.
Smaller design choices tend to stand out more clearly on triplex stocks, so a clean combination of core color, foil, typography, and artwork can have a strong overall effect when it fits naturally within your brand or aesthetic.
Can Triplex Business Cards Have Rounded Corners?
Yes. Rounded corners pair well with triplex business cards because they balance the heavier layered construction with a slightly smoother edge profile. Paired with soft touch lamination and metallic foil, the softer shape complements the overall aesthetic without taking attention away from the visible color core.
