Clean, classic standard business cards on your choice of matte or semi-gloss cover. Single or double sided print in black and white or colour. North American standard sized business cards – 3.5″ x 2″. Artwork in either portrait or landscape orientation accepted.
These business cards are smart looking, beautifully printed, and cheap enough to give away!
Business cards are also sometimes called name cards or calling cards. The 3.5″ x 2″ size fits perfectly in a wallet. Consequently, this product format is suitable for loyalty punch or stamp cards, gift coupons, drink tickets, or inexpensive marketing handouts (with a QR code or coupon code to promote and track positive responses).
Our business card stocks range from 12 points to 16 points in thickness. Thicker cards tend to be stiffer and feel substantial in the hand.
Aside from that, the difference is the weight and finish of the card stock, not quality. Print quality on a 12 pt card looks equally fine to that printed on the 16 pt stock.
Our cardstocks are FSC Certified. That means that the trees were harvested with the long-term health and viability of the forest in mind.
Over the years, thicker cards have grown in popularity. Still the most commonly ordered card stock in our shop is the 14 pt matte. It is an attractive combination of card weight and price point. Over 90% of orders are for full colour.
There is no standard order in terms of quantity. Our low minimum and flexible quantities appeal to smart business people who know that their design or personnel may change in the near future. They would rather invest a few dollars in a short term option until a larger order is appropriate.
One customer ordered business cards in the tens of thousands at a time, understanding that his best marketing strategy was meeting potential clients face to face, often leaving them extra business cards to share with their friends and neighbours. At a few cents each, they are cheap flyers.
Business card files should be created on a 3.5″ x 2″ canvas with a 1/8″ bleed on each side. It should be saved in high resolution (300 dpi). Pdf is the preferred format.
For double sided cards, please send one pdf file with 2 pages, one for each side of the business card.
