Configure & Order ↑Investor pitches and VIP invitations need substrate weight you can tap on the table, not matte paper with a foil sticker pretending to be metal. Unique material cards price through the invitation calculator at Size 5 inch x 7 inch or 4 inch x 6 inch as a flat luxury card proxy, or through the business cards calculator at 3.5x2 Standard when wallet-format plastic or metal cards fit your program, with Stock Matte, Pearl, or Foil-Stamped selected and plastic, metal, wood, acrylic, or luxury substrate noted in order comments for a material spec proof in the calculator above.
Upload print-ready PDF at stated card size, or send logo and material preference for Free Design Setup. We confirm substrate availability, edge finish, and whether invitation or business card calculator path fits your trim on the proof before specialty production starts.
Guide to invitation vs business card calculator paths, plastic metal wood notes, artwork prep, FAQ. Note material, approve spec proof.

Honest pricing paths today.
Flat luxury cards and oversized VIP invites price through the invitation calculator at 5x7 or 4x6 inches with Matte, Pearl, or Foil-Stamped stock selected as the print-spec proxy. Wallet-format plastic, metal, or wood cards price through the business cards calculator at 3.5x2 Standard with material noted in comments.
Write exact substrate in special instructions: clear plastic, frosted PVC, stainless metal, cherry wood veneer, acrylic, or hybrid luxury layup. We return a material spec proof listing calculator path, trim, and finish before production locks.

Named in order comments.
Clear and frosted plastic cards suit modern tech and nightlife brands that need transparent layers and white ink backer art noted on the proof. Metal cards in stainless or aluminum deliver weight for executive networking. Wood veneer cards add grain texture for artisan and eco-luxury programs. Acrylic and hybrid cards combine layers when noted in comments.
Standard paper stocks in the calculator proxy pricing; true substrate is confirmed on the material spec proof, not hidden after checkout.

Material-specific art prep.
Plastic clear cards need white ink underprint layers labeled on PDF for legibility on transparent faces. Metal cards may use laser etch zones separate from CMYK print panels when both appear on one layout. Wood cards keep logos aligned with grain direction noted on proof to avoid split-letter engrave on veneer.
Free Design Setup adapts flat logos to material constraints when you send substrate choice in comments.

Qty 25 to 250 typical.
Product launches, gallery openings, and C-suite networking reorder unique material cards because tactile substrate signals tier before copy is read. Qty 25 covers VIP invite short runs; 250 suits executive card programs once material and edge finish pass proof review.
Note rounded corner, die-cut shape, or spot UV on plastic when specialty finishing is required so the proof lists all steps.
Standard 5-7 days after approval on specialty.
Unique substrate jobs need material spec proof approval confirming calculator path, trim size, substrate name from comments, and edge finish before fabrication starts. Standard specialty runs often need 5 to 7 business days after approval. Rush tiers appear when eligible once material is confirmed on the proof thread.
Metal and wood cards ship in rigid mailers to prevent edge bend. Note gift box need for VIP invite sets in comments.
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.
