What paper types are available for business cards?
We offer various paper types including standard card stock (14pt and 16pt), premium card stock, uncoated, matte, and gloss finishes. Premium options include textured papers, metallic finishes, and specialty stocks. We can help you choose the right paper for your brand.
What is the standard size for business cards?
The standard business card size is 3.5"x2" (88.9mm x 50.8mm). This size fits standard business card holders and wallets. We also offer custom sizes, though standard sizes are more cost-effective and universally compatible.
What is the minimum order quantity for business cards?
Minimum orders typically start at 100 cards, though smaller quantities may be available for an additional setup fee. Larger orders (500+) receive better pricing per unit. Most businesses order 250-1000 cards at a time.
How long does it take to print business cards?
Standard turnaround is 3-5 business days for most orders. Premium finishes or custom options may take 5-7 business days. Rush orders can be completed in 24-48 hours for an additional fee. We work to accommodate urgent deadlines.
What finishing options are available?
We offer various finishing options including UV coating (gloss or matte), spot UV, embossing, foil stamping, rounded corners, and die-cutting. These options add visual appeal and help your cards stand out. Premium finishes create a memorable first impression.
What is the cost of printing business cards?
Pricing depends on quantity, paper type, and finishing options. Standard 14pt cards typically start around $30-50 for 250 cards. Premium finishes and specialty papers increase cost. Larger quantities reduce per-card cost. Contact us for a detailed quote.
Can business cards be printed on both sides?
Yes! Double-sided printing is standard and included in most pricing. You can print different information on each side, such as contact details on one side and services on the other. Both sides receive the same quality printing and finishing.
What file format should I use for business card designs?
We prefer PDF files with proper bleeds (0.125" on all sides) and crop marks. High-resolution images (300 DPI minimum) ensure crisp text and graphics. Vector formats (AI, EPS) are ideal for logos and text. Our team can help prepare your files.
Do you offer design services for business cards?
Yes! Our design team can create professional business card designs that reflect your brand. We work with your logo, contact information, and branding to create cohesive, eye-catching cards that make a strong first impression.
Can I order business cards with rounded corners?
Yes! Rounded corners are a popular finishing option that adds a modern, professional touch. This option is available for an additional fee and can be applied to standard or custom-sized cards. Rounded corners help cards stand out and feel premium.
