Description
Translucent Business Card Printing / Frosted Plastic Name Card Singapore — Waterproof
Stand out with frosted translucent business cards that are 100% waterproof, tear-resistant, and built to last. Printed on 280 GSM UV frosted plastic, these semi-transparent cards have a sleek, modern look that immediately sets you apart from standard paper name cards.
The frosted finish gives the card a smooth, semi-opaque appearance — areas without ink appear as a soft frosted white, while your design and colours show through with a premium, contemporary feel.
Why Choose Translucent Business Cards?
Unlike traditional paper cards, frosted plastic name cards won’t get damaged by water, coffee spills, sweat, or rain. They’re tear-resistant and far more durable — ideal for professionals who work in wet environments, outdoor settings, or simply want a name card that lasts longer and leaves a stronger impression.
Popular with swim coaches, personal trainers, F&B owners, marine industry professionals, outdoor event organisers, beauty and spa businesses, and anyone who wants a distinctive, modern card that people actually keep.
Material & Specifications

Colour & Print Options
- CMYK — standard full-colour printing on frosted plastic. Areas without ink remain frosted and semi-transparent.
- CMYK + Full White Backing — a solid white layer is printed behind your entire design, making colours more vivid and opaque. The card loses its translucent effect but gains bolder colour reproduction.
- CMYK + Spot White Backing — white ink is printed only behind selected areas of your design. This lets you combine the frosted translucent look in some areas with solid, vibrant colour in others — the best of both worlds.
Choosing the right white ink option makes a big difference on translucent cards. Without a white backing layer, colours printed directly on frosted plastic will appear lighter and semi-transparent. If your design has dark colours or photos, we recommend full or spot white backing for the best result.
Finishing Options
- Single-sided printing
- Round corners — selectable per corner (all four, or specific corners only)
Artwork Requirements
- File Format: PDF, AI, PSD, JPG, PNG
- Colour Mode: CMYK
- Resolution: Minimum 300 DPI
- For AI files: all text must be outlined and images embedded
- If using Spot White Backing: provide a separate artwork layer indicating which areas require white ink behind them
- Note: Printing is on one side only — due to the translucent material, printing both sides would cause the artwork to overlap and become unreadable

Design Tips for Translucent Cards
- Keep your layout clean and uncluttered — the frosted material itself is part of the design
- Use bold, high-contrast colours and readable fonts for best visibility
- Avoid small or thin text, as it can be harder to read on a semi-transparent surface
- Consider leaving some areas of the card without ink to show off the frosted translucent effect
- If your logo has fine detail, use white backing behind it for clarity
