A business card is often the very first physical representation of your brand that a potential client or partner holds in their hand. When that card breaks away from the standard rectangle and arrives in a shape that mirrors your logo, your product, or your creative identity, it transforms from a disposable slip of paper into a conversation piece that people keep. Die cut business cards use precision steel blades formed into custom shapes, similar to a cookie cutter, to punch your design out of thick premium cardstock. The result is a card with clean edges and a silhouette that immediately communicates originality and attention to detail.
At Branding Blitz, we produce custom shaped business cards for professionals and businesses across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Al Ain, and all UAE emirates. Our die cutting equipment handles everything from simple rounded corners on standard sized cards to fully bespoke outlines that trace the contour of a logo, a building, a leaf, or any other shape you can imagine. Every card is printed on heavyweight stock with full colour on both sides and finished with your choice of lamination, foil, embossing, or spot UV before the die cuts through.
Die cut cards can follow established size standards or break free entirely into custom territory. Understanding the size options helps you choose the right balance between creativity and wallet compatibility.
The most widely used business card size in the United Arab Emirates. Die cutting on this format typically involves rounded corners at various radii, internal window cutouts, or scalloped edges that add character while keeping the card wallet friendly. Most cardholder slots and Rolodex systems accommodate this size comfortably, making it the safest choice for professionals who want creativity without sacrificing practicality.
Popular with European businesses operating in the UAE and multinational companies that distribute cards internationally. The slightly wider proportions give designers more vertical space for bilingual Arabic and English layouts. Die cutting on this format works especially well for oval shapes, leaf silhouettes, and cards with notched tabs that double as bookmarks or bag tags.
Square cards with rounded corners have become a favourite among creative agencies, photographers, and tech startups. The non traditional proportions immediately signal a brand that thinks differently. Die cutting on square cards often involves gentle radius corners, circular perimeter trims, or internal logo cutouts that create a window effect when held against a coloured surface.
When standard dimensions are too limiting, a fully custom die cut card takes on any outline you design. Camera shapes for photographers, house silhouettes for real estate agents, flower forms for florists, and car outlines for automotive dealers are all popular requests. The maximum workable area is typically 91 x 55 mm, within which the blade traces your custom path to produce a one of a kind card.
The weight and texture of the cardstock influence how the finished card feels in the hand, how cleanly the die cuts through, and how long the card survives in a wallet or card holder. Heavier stocks produce more impressive tactile weight and allow for additional finishing techniques.

Die cutting a business card is a mechanical process that requires a custom made steel rule die. A thin steel strip is bent and shaped into the exact outline of your card design, then mounted onto a wooden or metal base. This die acts like a specialised cookie cutter, pressing down onto the printed and finished cardstock sheet with precise force to punch out each card in one clean stroke. The sharpness of the blade and the accuracy of its shape determine how clean the edges appear on the finished piece.
Before the die is manufactured, our prepress team prepares a digital die line that maps every curve, corner, and internal cutout in your design. This file is used to programme the blade bending machine, ensuring that the physical die matches your artwork exactly. Once the die is ready, it can be stored and reused for future reprints, which means the initial tooling cost is a one time investment that pays for itself across multiple orders. For clients who reorder regularly, this makes die cut cards increasingly cost effective over time.
The cutting itself happens after all printing, lamination, foil stamping, embossing, and any other surface finishes have been applied. This sequence is important because the die needs to cut through the fully finished card in a single pass. Our operators inspect sample cards from each run to verify edge quality, dimensional accuracy, and finish integrity before releasing the full batch. Cards with internal window cutouts require additional precision because the waste material must separate cleanly without tearing or leaving fibres along the inner edges.
A die cut card on its own commands attention, but when paired with one or more premium finishes, it becomes an object that people genuinely want to keep and show to others.
Gold, silver, rose gold, copper, and holographic foil applied to logos, text, or border lines on a die cut card creates a reflective accent that catches light as the card moves in the hand. The contrast between metallic foil and a matt laminated surface is particularly striking on custom silhouettes where the foil follows the card outline.
Raised embossing lifts selected elements above the card surface, while debossing presses them into the stock. On heavyweight cotton and Mohawk papers, these techniques produce deep, sculptural impressions that add a dimension of touch to the visual impact of the custom shape. Combined with blind debossing on a die cut card, the effect is subtle yet unmistakably premium.
A thick glossy coating applied to specific areas of a matt finished card creates visual and tactile contrast. On die cut cards, spot UV can follow the card outline to create a raised border, highlight the logo, or pick out text elements. The interplay between glossy raised areas and the flat matt surface makes the card feel layered and sophisticated.
Painting or foiling the exposed card edges in a brand colour or metallic finish turns the side view into an additional design element. On die cut cards, edge colouring follows the custom shape contour, creating a vivid coloured rim visible when the card sits in a stack. Triplex cards with a coloured core layer visible at the die cut edges achieve a similar effect structurally.
Matt lamination produces a smooth, non reflective surface that photographs well and resists fingerprints. Soft touch lamination adds a velvety texture that makes people instinctively rub the card between their fingers. Both protect the printed surface from scratches and moisture while providing the ideal base for spot UV or foil overlays on die cut cards.
Letterpress printing physically presses ink into the paper surface, leaving a visible indentation that you can feel with your fingernail. On thick cotton or Mohawk Superfine stock, letterpress combined with a die cut outline creates cards that feel handcrafted and artisanal. This technique is especially popular with luxury brands, wedding planners, and creative directors.

One of the most compelling advantages of die cut business cards is their ability to serve a secondary function that keeps them in the recipient's life long after the networking event ends.
A die cut card with a notched tab or a slim profile designed to slip between book pages stays on a desk or nightstand for months. Authors, publishers, bookshops, and literary agents benefit enormously from this format because it places their contact details exactly where their target audience spends time. The card serves a genuine purpose and avoids the fate of being tossed into a drawer and forgotten.
Cards with a die cut hole or reinforced slot at one end can be threaded onto a keyring, bag handle, or luggage strap. Travel agencies, hotels, airlines, and lifestyle brands use this format to keep their brand physically attached to items that people carry every day. The visible branding on a bag tag generates impressions far beyond the initial exchange.
Die cut cards laminated and bonded to a thin magnetic backing transform into fridge magnets that display your brand in kitchens and on office whiteboards. Restaurants, delivery services, and home maintenance companies gain daily visibility from a card that cost only marginally more to produce than a standard printed piece. The die cut shape makes the magnet visually distinctive among the clutter of a busy refrigerator door.
Growing environmental awareness among consumers and corporate procurement teams has created strong demand for business cards that look premium without compromising on sustainability. Recycled kraft cardstock in 350 to 400 gsm produces robust die cut cards with a warm, natural brown tone that communicates eco responsibility at first touch. The kraft surface accepts soy based inks and water based laminations that are fully recyclable after use, making these cards a genuine closed loop product.
For brands that want to go further, plantable business cards embedded with wildflower or herb seeds offer a memorable alternative. After the card has served its networking purpose, the recipient can plant it in soil and watch it grow into flowers or basil. FSC certified stocks sourced from responsibly managed forests provide another option for organisations that need to demonstrate environmental credentials through their printed materials. At Branding Blitz, we offer guidance on selecting the right sustainable stock for your die cut shape, ensuring that eco friendly choices do not compromise the clean edge quality or the visual impact of the finished card.
