Photo Editor Business Cards

Slim 1.5x3.5 on 38pt Trifecta Black feels like a contact sheet tab sliding across agency folders and studio binders when every retoucher hands a full rectangle lost beside color charts. Black core stock signals pixel-level precision before art directors see your direct line. Thirty-eight-point stiffness survives laptop bags and lanyards through awards season. The narrow silhouette still carries a QR code and callback number while fitting beside printed rate sheets.

Photo editors handing cards at dozens of agency meet-and-greets, portfolio reviews, and photographer partner lunches often need 500 cards before scaling to 1000 across associate colorists. Economical pricing on slim Trifecta Black stock keeps freelance retouch budgets lean while still delivering a tactile follow that outlasts buried Slack threads after a kickoff call. Scale quantity once reel URLs and specialty lines prove stable.

One labeled QR to before-and-after reels, rate sheets, or a color-profile checklist PDF outperforms cluttered icon rows on a black-edge slim face. We test scans under bright agency LEDs and dim grading-suite lighting during proofing. Keep the direct line larger than the QR because producers often call from edit bays when they want to confirm a rush slot before a broadcast deadline. Many shops start near 500 pieces at 1.5x3.5.

Lock studio palette, slim die, and Trifecta Black stock, then swap editor name, vertical cue such as beauty or automotive, and direct mobile from a spreadsheet. A 500-count run per lead validates layout before you scale across bench partners. Shared visual identity with personal callability converts photographer referrals faster than one generic card on a light table after a collaboration.

38pt Trifecta Black resists scuffs when cards pass hand to hand at portfolio reviews and trade shows. Black edge framing keeps sample imagery readable under mixed monitor glow and tungsten lighting colorists experience daily. Human inspectors check stack stiffness on every 500-count slim rectangle run before boxes ship to your retouch desk.

Production typically runs a few business days after digital proof approval. Ground transit from the nearest CA, OH, TX, FL, or NJ plant usually delivers in about 3-5 business days depending on carrier routes. Rush tiers appear at checkout when a campaign launch or photo trade expo is tighter than standard ground allows. Checkout separates production from shipping so delivery calendars stay honest.

Regional hubs in Rhode Island, Texas, Ohio, Florida, California, and Kentucky shorten ground miles for most post-production markets. Northeast agency rows from Rhode Island, Texas for Gulf commercial studios, Ohio for Midwest catalog retouchers, Florida for Southeast resort campaigns, California for West Coast entertainment post houses, and Kentucky for mid-South e-commerce photo teams. Checkout shows honest calendars before you commit to a busy awards push. Many shops start near 500 pieces at 1.5x3.5.

Use the back for one short line such as Beauty, product, and editorial retouch, a single QR to reels, or a calm rate pointer without crowding the front call line. Skip long turnaround tables that belong in estimates. Free Design Setup balances both sides so the front stays credential-forward while the back triggers the right follow-up after a portfolio review. Many shops start near 500 pieces at 1.5x3.5.
