Coaster Board 390gsm was originally manufactured, funnily enough, to serve as drink coasters. Somewhere along the line however, (over a beer) we discovered it was just as good, if not better served as business cards. Coaster Board is thick and quite strong, but also offers a natural relaxed tone, making it confident yet personable. The 500gsm weight enables moderate impression on both sides of the card. Colour: Off White. Weight: 500gsm.
