What We Saw in 2024—and What It Means for 2025
2024 introduced texture-heavy, minimalist cards with a strong focus on brand clarity. QR codes gained popularity again, helping bridge print and digital. But in 2025, the spotlight is shifting toward bold personalization, tactile engagement, and meaningful design choices that communicate not just who you are—but how you operate.
We’re seeing a clear shift toward cards that do more than sit in a wallet—they spark curiosity, show professionalism, and prompt action.
Top Michigan Business Card Trends to Watch in 2025
1. Sustainable Materials Make a Statement
Eco-friendly printing isn’t just a movement—it’s a message. More Michigan businesses are requesting recycled cardstock, soy-based inks, and minimalist designs that reflect a commitment to sustainability. At Reimold, our environmentally conscious printing practices help clients support their brand values through every detail.
Pro Tip: Combine recycled paper with subtle embossing to show off your tactile style without compromising the planet.
2. Soft-Touch and Textured Finishes Are In
Flat finishes are being replaced by cards you want to hold on to. Matte velvet, linen textures, and even suede lamination are gaining momentum in 2025. These finishes enhance sensory engagement and leave a premium impression—perfect for finance, design, or real estate professionals.
3. Bolder Colors, Simpler Fonts
Minimal doesn’t mean boring. Expect more vibrant backgrounds—deep navy, forest green, even maroon—paired with sans-serif fonts that cut through visual noise. Color psychology is playing a larger role in business card design, and we help clients select hues that resonate with their target audience.
4. Vertical Layouts and Interactive Designs
A growing number of businesses in Michigan are opting for vertical business cards, especially creative firms and boutique agencies. With more room for design elements and mobile features like QR codes or app scan triggers, vertical cards offer functionality with flair.
