Why Cinematographers Need Cards That Stand Out on Set
On a film set or at a festival, the card you hand to a director or producer is the first physical takeaway. Flimsy or generic cards get lost in the pile. DPs and camera operators need something that feels as solid as their reel.
We print square 2x2 cards on thick 14pt Uncoated stock so they feel substantial in the hand. The uncoated finish is writable, so you can jot a shot list or contact on the back. Our free design setup and digital email proof mean you get a card that fits the craft without paying a designer.
State-of-the-art digital presses and our in-house team deliver a complete, professional look. Leverage from our experience with film and video professionals. We never compromise on stock or print quality.
The Square 2x2 Format and Uncoated Finish
Square cards break the rectangle habit. They fit in a pocket or kit bag and stand out when someone flips through a stack. Our 2x2 size is easy to hold and easy to remember.
14pt Uncoated means thick, stiff stock with no gloss coating. Colors stay rich but the surface takes pen or pencil. So when a producer asks for a rate or a callback number, you can write it on the spot. Cinematographer Business Cards on 14pt Uncoated are a proven choice for DPs who want a tactile, durable card.
Worried about the "cheap" in our name? Cheap here means smart production and automation, not thin paper. Every order ships with thick, stiff cards that hold up in a gear bag or on a scout.
Free Design and Edits So Your Card Matches Your Reel
Send a logo, stills from your reel, or a mood board. Our designers build the layout at no extra cost. Need changes? Free edits until the design is right. You get a digital email proof before we run the press.
We use AI tools to speed up layout and proofing. Human hands still check every order. No surprises when the box arrives. It is that simple.
Square format stands out in a stack of standard rectangles. Film and video pros tell us the 2x2 size is easy to stash in a pocket during a scout or leave with a producer after a meeting. Uncoated stock stays writable so you can add a callback date or rate on the spot.
How We Print Your Cards
Files are printed at 300dpi with full bleed so graphics run edge to edge. We calibrate our presses so skin tones and night scenes look right. No muddy or oversaturated color.
Paper stock is 14pt Uncoated: thick enough to feel premium, writable so you can add notes. We use soy-based inks where possible and keep waste low. Cards are produced in the USA and ship in 2 to 4 business days after approval.
We calibrate for skin tones and gradients so your reel stills look right on paper. No muddy shadows or blown highlights. If you send a brand or palette reference, we match it as close as the stock allows. Uncoated absorbs ink slightly differently than gloss; the result is a tactile, premium feel that fits the film world.

Ordering and Proofing in Plain English
Upload a file or start from a template. Choose quantity: 100, 250, 500, or more. The more you order, the lower the per-card cost. We send a digital proof by email within a day or two.
Check the proof for spelling, crop, and color. Reply with any changes and we will revise at no charge. Once the proof is approved, we send the job to the press. Production time is separate from shipping. We show both at checkout so you know when to expect the box.
Why Thickness and Uncoated Matter
Thin cards bend and look forgettable. Ours are 14pt thick, so they sit straight in a holder and feel substantial in the hand. Uncoated stock protects the print without a shiny coating and stays writable.
For cinematographers we hardly recommend uncoated: you can add a shot list, rate, or callback on the back. The thick, stiff feel and writable finish make the difference on set and in meetings. Premium stock, reliable print.
Handcrafted attention does not mean slow. Our presses run at high volume so we can offer sharp print and thick stock at a fair price. Upgrade to rush production or expedited shipping at checkout when a festival or shoot date is tight. Proven turnaround and no hidden fees.
Inventory and Reorders
Keep a few boxes on hand so you never run out before a festival or big shoot. Many DPs order 500 or 1,000 cards and store them at the office or in the kit. Reorders use the same approved file or a small update.
We keep job history so reorders are one click. Same quality, same free proof if anything changes. Our customers tell us that having a reliable stack of cards takes stress out of the hustle. You focus on the next shot; we focus on print.
