Cheap Business Card Printing

Business card pricing depends on paper stock, finish, quantity, and sides printed. Standard 14pt gloss cards start low on gang-run production. Use the calculator on this page for your exact total. Larger quantities lower the per-piece cost, and Free Design Setup is included so you pay only for print.

The US standard is 3.5 by 2 inches. This size fits most cardholders and wallet slots cleanly. We also offer slim and square formats for brands that want a distinctive shape. All sizes share the same proof workflow: approve the digital file before production starts.

Bleed is extra art that extends 0.125 inch beyond the trim edge so color prints to the finished edge after cutting. Set your file canvas to 3.75 by 2.25 inches if art goes edge to edge. We flag missing bleed on every digital proof before a single card prints.

Yes. Free Design Setup is included on qualifying orders at no extra charge. Send a logo, upload rough notes, or start from zero. Our designers and AI tools handle layout, QR codes, and file conversion. You get a digital proof for approval before production starts.

Not here. Gang-run production shares press setup costs across multiple jobs, which lowers your price without thinning the cardstock or softening the ink. You still get calibrated CMYK color, real 14pt and 16pt stocks, and a human proof review on every order. Smart pricing comes from production efficiency, not shortcuts.

14pt is the most popular everyday stock: stiff, vivid color, and easy to fan out from a cardholder. 16pt adds noticeable weight when a premium feel matters, great for luxury brands and strong first impressions. Both are available in gloss, matte, and soft-touch finishes. Compare side by side in the calculator.

No. Glossy UV coating seals the surface and most ballpoint pens will bead or skip on it. If you need a writable back for appointment notes or prices, choose matte or uncoated stock. We also offer two-sided options where the front is gloss and the back is uncoated or matte.

Turnaround depends on the rush tier you select at checkout. Standard production is 2 to 4 business days after proof approval. Rush and next-day options are available for tighter schedules. Add your zip code for transit estimates. Production time and shipping time are separate steps and both are shown before you pay.

Production time is how long we need to print, cut, and pack your cards after proof approval. Shipping time is carrier transit from our Florida facility to your door. A 2-day production tier plus 2-day shipping totals 4 days in hand, not 2. Both are displayed at checkout so your planning is accurate.

Print-ready PDF with embedded fonts and 300 DPI images is ideal. We also accept AI, PSD, PNG, and JPG. If your file needs work, Free Design Setup covers bleed fixes, CMYK conversion, and font outlining at no extra charge. Upload what you have and let our team flag any issues before the proof.

Yes. Our 18pt premium kraft stock uses recycled fiber content with a natural brown look. White ink does not print on kraft, so light areas in your design show as paper color. FSC-certified options are available on some stocks. Ask during Free Design Setup or checkout for current availability on your order.

Yes. Rounded corner die cutting is available as an upgrade at checkout. It gives cards a modern, polished look that stands out in a cardholder stack. Select the rounded corners option and our production team handles the corner cutting after print. The proof shows the shape before cutting begins.

Spot UV is a thick, high-gloss coating applied only to selected areas of the card such as a logo or photo. The rest stays matte. The contrast between a shiny element and a flat background is tactile and visually striking. Spot UV needs extra curing time, so plan a couple of extra production days.

Free Design Setup includes QR code generation and placement. Provide the URL or action you want the code to link to and we size it correctly for reliable scanning on a 3.5 by 2 inch card. We test the code during proof review before the job goes to press at no extra charge.

Yes. A physical card hands over contact details without requiring the other person to have their phone out, a signal, or a compatible app. Premium cardstock signals effort in a way that a screen tap does not. They double as mini ads that people keep in wallets and desk drawers for months.

Include name, title, company, phone, email, and website at minimum. Add a QR code if you want one tap to a portfolio or booking page. Keep the back clear for notes or use it for a short service list. Our designers can advise on layout balance during Free Design Setup.

We do not have a formal price match policy, but our gang-run pricing is built to compete on volume runs. Use the calculator and compare totals including shipping. If a competitor quote surprises you, contact our team before ordering. We are often within a few dollars on apples-to-apples stock and quantity specs.

The online minimum is 25 cards. Short runs work for startups or individual professionals testing a new design. Higher quantities reduce per-piece cost significantly, especially at 100, 250, 500, and 1000 breaks. The calculator shows price per card at each tier so you can see exactly where the savings stack up.

Order cutoff times for next-day production vary and are displayed live at checkout based on your selected turnaround tier. Generally, orders placed before noon Eastern on business days enter the same-day press queue. Check the checkout timer when you select your rush tier for the current cutoff for your press date.

Same-day business card printing may be available depending on stock, quantity, and your location relative to local pickup options. Check availability on the product page by entering your zip and selecting the fastest turnaround tier shown. Our team confirms the timeline and emails your digital proof quickly when same-day queue is open.

Gloss makes photos and solid colors pop under most lighting and gives a traditional professional look. Matte is softer on the eye and easier to write on for notes or signatures. Neither is objectively better; it comes down to brand style and how you use the card after handing it across a table.

Yes. We print in Florida and ship to all 50 states. Enter your zip code at checkout to see carrier options and estimated transit times. Rush shipping tiers are available when an event, conference, or meeting deadline is approaching fast. Both production and shipping timelines are shown clearly before you pay.

Yes. We email a digital proof showing your design at trim size with bleed and safe zone guides. Production starts only after you approve. Request any change on the proof and we revise before sending the job to press. Nothing prints on assumption, regardless of order size or turnaround tier.

The safe zone is 0.125 inch inside the trim edge on all four sides. Keep names, phone numbers, logos, and any critical text within this zone so minor cutting variation does not clip them. Art can extend past the trim into the bleed zone, but text and key graphics should stay inside.

Yes. Free Design Setup works from a logo file alone. Send your logo, contact details, and any color preferences. Our team or AI layout tools build the card, apply brand colors, balance white space, and email a proof before production. You approve before anything prints and revisions are included.

No. The calculator total includes printing and your selected shipping method. Free Design Setup is not billed separately on qualifying orders. Rush tiers show their price premium at checkout before you pay. Specialty coatings like spot UV or raised foil carry a line-item charge shown clearly in the options list.

16pt cover stock is noticeably heavier and stiffer when held. It resists bending and feels more substantial when handed across a table. The extra thickness holds edge coating and soft-touch lamination better without flex or curl. For executive meetings or luxury brand first impressions, 16pt is the common upgrade from standard stock.

Yes. Foil stamping applies a metallic gold, silver, rose gold, or copper accent to logos or text for a premium, reflective finish that catches light. It pairs well with soft-touch laminated stock for a tactile contrast between matte and metallic. Ask during Free Design Setup, and we ship the finished cards with nationwide delivery to all 50 states.
