What is AQ coating on business cards?
AQ (Aqueous) coating is a water-based protective finish applied after printing. It gives business cards a smooth semi-gloss appearance while protecting them from smudges and fingerprints.

Are 14PT business cards thick enough?
Yes. 14PT cardstock is considered a standard professional thickness, providing durability and a premium feel without being overly heavy.

Can I print on both sides of the card?
Yes. You can choose single-sided (4/0) or double-sided (4/4) full-color printing depending on your design needs.

Can I write on AQ coated cards?
AQ coating creates a semi-gloss surface, so writing or stamping is generally not recommended. 

What file format should I upload?
For best printing results, please upload a print-ready PDF file in CMYK color mode with 300 DPI resolution.

How long does production take?
Most orders are produced within 1-3 business days, depending on quantity and finishing options.

What is the difference between 14PT AQ and matte business cards?
The main difference is the finish. 14PT AQ business cards use a semi-gloss aqueous coating that enhances color vibrancy and adds light protection. Matte cards have a non-gloss finish and are easier to write on. Businesses that want bright colors and sharp images often choose AQ coated cards.

Are AQ coated business cards waterproof?
AQ coating provides light moisture resistance and surface protection, but it is not fully waterproof. It helps protect against fingerprints, smudges, and minor spills.
