Shaped cards on the Business Essentials die-cut collection page break the rectangle stack: upload custom die line vector or pick standard footprint with unique contour, 16pt gloss or matte, qty 100 through 2,500, with Free Design Setup and die-line proof in the calculator above.
Key specs include Shape: Custom Die Cut Shape under Size, Art: Vector DIE LINE layer required.

Bleed, safe zone, and die lines.
Die-cut file prep requires a dieline layer in the PDF showing the exact cut path as a spot color named "Dieline" or "CutContour." Without the separate dieline layer, the press operator cannot distinguish the cut shape from the printed art. Keep all live text and logos at least 0.125 inch inside the cut path to avoid trimming letters at narrow silhouette points.
Select Custom Die Cut Shape under Size and upload closed vector die path.

Calculator materials.
Die-cut card stock must be stiff enough to hold its custom silhouette without flexing at thin points - 16pt gloss and 16pt matte cover both handle narrow tabs and detailed cutouts reliably, while 14pt uncoated suits organic shapes where tactile texture enhances the impression.
Match stock to how the card will be used: uncoated for handwriting, soft-touch for premium hand-feel, heavier boards for durability.
Thickness and corners.
Standard 3.5x2 cards slide into most wallets and card holders. Note rounded corners, extra-thick stock, or shaped trims in comments so we confirm final footprint on the proof.
Qty 250 and above ship boxed flat so corners stay crisp during transit to your team or event table.
Standard 3-5 business days.
Custom die-cut cards require a finishing run on the die form after the press pass, which adds a step that standard straight-cut cards skip entirely. Production time accounts for press, die finishing, and QC before pack, so approving the proof promptly keeps your custom shape on schedule. Rush tiers show in the calculator for eligible shapes and quantities.
