Business card printing on 16pt, suede, plastic and premium stocks
Business cards printed on 16pt gloss or matte, 32pt suede, painted-edge, plastic, square and rounded-corner stocks. 500 full-color 16pt business cards from $24, next-day production.
500 from $24 2×3.5, 16pt gloss cover, full color both sides
A business card is still the piece most people keep, and it is judged in the hand before it is read. Thick 16pt stock with a matte or soft-touch finish is the sweet spot for most businesses; specialty stocks like 32pt suede, painted edges and foil make a card that gets remarked on.
We print cards on the same presses as our mail work, which is why 500 cards cost less than a lunch and ship the next day.
Stock guide
14pt is thin and economical. 16pt is the standard that feels solid. 18pt and 32pt are noticeably thick and premium. Suede is a velvet-touch laminate over thick stock. Painted-edge cards carry a color on the edges. Plastic cards are for membership and loyalty programs. Magnet cards live on a refrigerator, which is where a plumber or a pizza place wants to be.
Finishes that get noticed
Spot UV puts a gloss highlight on a matte card. Foil adds metallic type or a logo. Raised ink adds texture you can feel. Soft-touch lamination makes a card feel like it costs more than it did. All of them add a few days and a few dollars per hundred.
Cards for teams and franchises
Upload a spreadsheet and we produce a card per person from one template, with names, titles, phones and emails filled in, at the per-name price rather than a full run each. Reorders are two clicks.
