Free Design Setup & Free Proof on every order. Prices above are per-unit at qty 1. Rush production tiers are available in the order form. Shipping calculated live at checkout.
Configure & Order ↑Single-ply stock feels thin the moment it hits a competitor table stacked with layered cards. Sandwich multi-layered cards laminate colored core sheets between face plies for visible edge color, extra rigidity, and luxury hand-feel without guessing at thickness. Select 32pt Painted Edge (Luxury) under Paper / Material as the calculator proxy, note sandwich multi-layer construction and core color in special instructions, choose 3.5x2 Standard or alternate sizes, qty 25 through 5,000, with Free Design Setup and edge color proof in the calculator above.
Send core color preference (black, red, navy, brand Pantone when available) and whether you want painted edge color to match the core. We mock layer caliper and edge visibility on the digital proof before multi-ply press runs.
Guide to sandwich construction, 32pt proxy stock, sizes, edge color art, FAQ. Pick proxy stock, note core color, approve proof.

Colored core between face plies.
Sandwich cards bond multiple paper plies around a contrasting core sheet so the edge shows deliberate color bands when the card rests on a desk or slides from a wallet. The business card calculator prices standard print specs; multi-ply sandwich assembly, core color, and layer count are noted in special instructions so prepress routes the job to the correct thick-stock workflow.
Note whether you want a single visible core stripe or full edge paint that matches the inner layer. We confirm construction intent on the proof before lamination.
Paper / Material field in calculator.
Calculator Paper / Material lists 14pt Uncoated through 32pt Painted Edge (Luxury). Sandwich multi-layer stock is not a separate dropdown. Select 32pt Painted Edge as the luxury thickness proxy and write sandwich multi-layer with core color in special instructions. 18pt Soft-Touch works as a mid-tier proxy when you want thick feel without full painted edge pricing.
We confirm actual multi-ply substitution and edge treatment on the proof, not smooth single-ply stock alone.

Size dropdown in business card calculator.
Calculator Size options are 3.5x2 Standard, 2.75x1.18 Mini, 2.5x2.5 Square, 3.5x2 Round Corners, and Custom Die Cut Shape. Most sandwich programs use 3.5x2 Standard for networking handoffs where edge color reads at arm length. Square and mini formats work for boutique tags when noted in comments.
Thicker sandwich construction adds caliper; we confirm final trimmed thickness and wallet fit on the proof for your selected size.
Core color vs face print.
Dark logos on light faces pair cleanly with bold core colors (navy, black, burgundy) visible on the edge. Light or foil-heavy faces may need core color contrast checked on the proof so edge bands do not fight brand palette. Double-sided sandwich cards often put contact block on back with core color matching logo accent on front.
Upload vector PDF with bleed. Note painted edge color code in comments when it must match core sheet exactly.
Standard 3-5 days after approval.
Multi-ply sandwich orders need proof approval showing edge color mock, layer caliper, and registration before lamination runs. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after written approval. Rush 2 to 3 business days and Next-Day tiers appear in the calculator when eligible for your qty and thickness.
Thick cards ship boxed at qty 250 and above. Note if recipients use rigid card holders because sandwich caliper exceeds standard wallet sleeve depth.
Send a logo, sketch, or bullet points. We handle layout, contrast, bleed, and file conversion at no extra setup fee. You approve a digital proof before production.

When ordering Sandwich Multi Layered, standard and custom size choices update the live total as you change the calculator. Note any frame, pocket, or display constraints in comments so we verify fit on the proof. Contact support the same business day if you need help choosing specs before you approve the proof.
With Sandwich Multi Layered, select material tiers in the calculator and we note the stock choice on the digital proof. Match finish to where the piece will live - indoor, outdoor, or high-touch service. Contact support the same business day if you need help choosing specs before you approve the proof.
Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval. Multi-ply lamination may use the full standard window depending on core color and qty. Rush 2 to 3 business days and Next-Day tiers appear when eligible. Approval day is not day one. Plan total calendar time as production plus carrier transit from Florida.
Yes, always. We email a digital proof showing edge color mock, layer caliper estimate, logo placement, and stock finish before any sandwich card prints or laminates. Thick cards need edge review so core color visibility matches your brand intent on the proof.
Vector PDF with bleed is ideal for sandwich cards. AI or EPS with outlined paths works when exported cleanly. High-res PNG at full trim size works for photo-heavy faces when bleed is included. Free Design Setup can build layout from logo art and note core color preference in comments.
On this Sandwich Multi Layered page, minimums and volume breaks are shown as 25 through 5,000. Use a smaller tier to proof the design, then reorder the same file at a higher break when the campaign scales. Contact support the same business day if you need help choosing specs before you approve the proof.
We print and laminate in Florida and ship sandwich multi-layered cards to all 50 states. Enter zip at checkout for live ground and expedited rates after production. Thick cards ship boxed at qty 250 and above to prevent edge damage in transit.
Add 0.125 inch bleed past trim on all sides. Keep logos, phone numbers, and titles at least 0.125 inch inside the safe line. Edge color is visible on the card perimeter; face art should not assume bleed extends into the core band. We flag tight margins on the proof.
Buyers ask whether sandwich construction is included in calculator price, which core colors are available, and how thick the finished card feels in a wallet. Describe sandwich multi-layer intent and core color in special instructions. We confirm construction scope, caliper, and wallet fit on the proof before lamination.
First-time buyers pick 14pt Uncoated without noting sandwich construction, so production runs single-ply. Others skip core color in comments and get surprised by default edge treatment. Select 32pt Painted Edge proxy, note sandwich multi-layer and core color explicitly, and approve edge mock on the proof.
Start with 32pt Painted Edge proxy, Single-Sided, Standard turnaround, qty 100 while noting sandwich multi-layer and one core color in comments. Single-sided keeps first-run cost lower while you validate edge visibility with clients. Reorder Double-Sided at 250 once the approved edge mock is on file.
Upload print PDF or send logo for Free Design Setup. We email a proof within about one business day showing edge color mock and layer caliper. Reply with changes or written approval. Multi-ply lamination begins only after written approval. No production time runs while the proof is pending.
Sandwich multi-layered cards add visible colored core and extra rigidity versus standard single-ply business cards. Painted edge cards emphasize perimeter color without full multi-ply construction. Premium and soft-touch pages cover alternate luxury finishes. Pick sandwich when edge band and layer thickness define the brand handoff.
Rush 2 to 3 business days after proof approval when Rush tier shows for your qty and thickness. Next-Day when listed for simpler specs and smaller qty. Multi-ply lamination may not qualify for Next-Day on first orders; we flag on the proof. Add carrier transit to production days.
Yes on qualifying orders. Free Design Setup covers layout, bleed, core color notation, and edge mock review at no separate design fee. Send logo vector and core color preference in comments. Approve finished proof before lamination. Complex die cut sandwich shapes may need extra prep time noted upfront.
No hidden lamination setup fees on standard sandwich orders when construction is noted in comments. Novel custom die geometry outside uploaded vector paths may carry a quoted prep fee before order placement. Calculator total covers print proxy specs and selected shipping tier; multi-ply scope is confirmed on the proof.
Production time covers print, multi-ply lamination, trim, QC, and pack after proof approval. Shipping time is carrier transit after the label scan from Florida. A 3-day production tier plus 3-day ground shipping totals 6 calendar days minimum after approval, not 3.
PDF, AI, EPS, PNG, and JPG uploads accepted. PDF with bleed is best for sandwich cards. PNG at 300 dpi works for photo faces. Free Design Setup converts common formats and notes core color in the proof thread.
We price sandwich multi-layered cards competitively through direct manufacturing. Send a comparable itemized quote when size, proxy stock, sides, qty, and construction match. Live calculator totals show print cost; multi-ply scope is confirmed in special instructions and on the proof.
After proof approval your order enters print and lamination, passes QC on edge color registration and caliper, packs boxed, and ships with tracking when the carrier scans the label. Reply with event or launch date so we flag timeline risk before press.
