Brass Knocker

The reputable one. Near-black suede stock, an engraved brass knocker, quiet serif type. This is the card you leave for the law office and the med spa.


Front · gold foil stamp on black suede
Back · contact panel with print-ready QR zone
Print Specification

Trim Size

3.5 x 2 in, standard US business card, square corners. Bleed to 3.58 x 2.08 in, keep live copy 0.125 in inside trim.

Shape & Die-Cut

None. The standard rectangle is the point: it slips into a wallet, a desk drawer, a receptionist's card rail. The premium reads through weight and finish, not novelty.

Stock & Finish

32pt black-core board with suede (soft-touch) lamination. Knocker illustration and both wordmarks in gold foil stamp; back contact lines in metallic gold ink. Optional gold painted edges on the 32pt stock.

Printer Note

MOO Luxe with gold foil or UPrinting foil-stamped suede cards handle this format directly. 4over 32pt UltraThick with foil is the trade-price route. Metallic gold ink on GotPrint silk is the budget fallback if foil is cut.

Cost Ballpark

Foil plus suede runs roughly $180 to $280 per 500 and $250 to $400 per 1,000, foil coverage dependent. Swapping foil for metallic ink drops it to about $90 to $140 per 500.

QR Zone

The tile shown is an abstract placeholder pattern, not a scannable code. Generate the final QR to doorfront.bysda.com at print time, minimum 0.6 in with full quiet zone. Keep it dark ink on the cream panel as mocked: a gold or inverted QR on black scans unreliably.
