Stand Out with Professional Standard Business Cards

Sometimes simple is best. Standard business cards deliver clean, professional results on quality cardstock without the premium price tag. Perfect for professionals who want classic elegance, businesses building their first brand presence, or anyone who values timeless design over flashy finishes.


These aren’t cheap throwaway cards, they’re printed on premium cardstock with sharp, vibrant colours and crisp text. They just skip the metallic finishes and special effects in favour of straightforward professionalism.

Specification

  • Paper Options: 300 GSM Matte, 300 GSM Linen, 300 GSM Cotton, 300 GSM Metallic, 450 GSM Artboard with Velvet Laminate
  • Size and Shape:
    • Rectangle: 90mm x 55mm
    • Rounded Corners: 90mm x 55mm
    • Circle: 60mm x 60mm
    • Oval: 90mm x 50mm
    • Custom Shapes: 90mm x 55mm
  • Printing Options:
    • Front only
    • Front & Back
  • Finishing: No Laminate
  • Matte or gloss finish: Choose matte for a sophisticated non-reflective finish or gloss for vibrant colours that pop in photos and under display lighting.
  • Full-colour photo printing: Full-color printing means photos, gradients, and complex graphics all print beautifully on your card.
  • Premium stock, no special effects: These are printed on premium cardstock with sharp, vibrant colours and crisp text, and simply skip the metallic finishes and special effects in favour of straightforward professionalism.
  • Upgrade later without starting over: Begin here, then move to foil, Scodix, or spot UV whenever the brand is ready, since the premium finishes are additions to the same card rather than a different product.
  • Something a saved contact cannot do: A card is a tangible, memorable introduction that online communication cannot replace, and it keeps working as a portable branding tool that reinforces credibility every time it changes hands.
  • Suited to clean, classic branding: The format fits new businesses and startups, corporate teams who need a standard card, and service professionals such as consultants and electricians who value clean, classic design over decorative finishes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between standard and premium business cards?

Standard business cards are printed digitally in CMYK on five stocks: 300 GSM Matte, 300 GSM Linen, 300 GSM Cotton, 300 GSM Metallic and 450 GSM Artboard with Velvet Laminate. You can order from 50 cards, with printing on the front only or front and back.

Premium products are separate ranges that add a specialist finish. Flat foil, raised foil, spot UV and Scodix add metallic, gloss and raised effects. Raised foil, spot UV and Scodix run on 450 GSM Artboard with Velvet Laminate and start at 250 cards.

Can I print photos on standard business cards?

Yes. Photos, gradients and complex artwork can be printed on standard business cards, because the range is produced with digital CMYK printing.

What paper stock do you recommend?

300 GSM Matte for a clean, non-reflective finish.

450 GSM Artboard with Velvet Laminate for the heaviest card in the range.

How thick are standard business cards?

Standard business cards range from 300 GSM to 450 GSM. The light end is the 300 GSM stock (Matte, Linen, Cotton and Metallic), and the heavy end is 450 GSM Artboard with Velvet Laminate.

Do you offer design templates?

We provide printing services. Design templates may be available, contact us for details.

For design assistance, see our Design Artwork Package.

Can I upgrade to premium finishes later?

Absolutely! Start with standard cards, then upgrade to foil, Scodix, or spot UV when you’re ready.

How long does production take?

24 hour production is available on 300 GSM Matte only.

Every other stock and finish runs 1 to 2 business days.

Die-cut shapes (Circle, Oval and Custom Shapes) do not qualify for 24 hour production because cutting the shape adds 1 to 2 business days.

Production times may extend slightly during peak periods.

What format should I provide my artwork to you in?

File Type

We prefer artwork in PDF, SVG and Adobe Illustrator formats. Please add 3mm bleed and crop marks whenever possible.

Fonts & Artworks

Make sure all fonts are outlined/vectorized, and all images/artwork embedded.

Dieline

Dieline needs to be in 100% Magenta Spot Colour and placed on the top layer.

Yes we will send a final design proof to your email. We will not proceed to print until we receive your design approval.

Why Business Cards Still Matter

Even in a digital world, business cards offer something online communication can’t replace: a tangible, memorable introduction. A well-designed card:

  • Reinforces your credibility
  • Leaves a strong first impression
  • Helps customers remember your business
  • Acts as a portable branding tool
  • Encourages more personal, meaningful interactions

With professionally printed cards, every handshake, meeting, or networking moment becomes an opportunity to promote your brand. This is why business cards printing remains essential for both new and established businesses.

Other Card Shapes and Types

This page is the standard 90 x 55mm rectangle and sells rounded corners, a circle, an oval and custom shapes. For a different shape, the square business cards, rounded corner business cards, round business cards and die cut business cards pages cover square, rounded corner, round and custom outline cards. For a slimmer size, the slimline business cards page covers a 90 x 45mm card with 10mm less height and an 86 x 54mm card about bank card size. For cards kept at the counter, loyalty cards cover stamping return visits and appointment cards cover writing the next time. For a stock choice, the recycled business cards are printed on a bright white 100% recycled uncoated board with a 250 card minimum. Compare all of them in the Card Shapes and Types category.

How Many Business Cards to Order

Standard business cards are made in every shape in the range. You can choose Rectangle 90mm x 55mm, Rounded Corners 90mm x 55mm, Circle 60mm x 60mm, Oval 90mm x 50mm or Custom Shapes 90mm x 55mm.

The $44.00 price for 100 cards, which is $0.44 per card, is quoted on the pricing baseline of 300 GSM Matte, front only, no laminate and rectangle. The 50-card minimum is $27.20 inc. GST ($0.54 per card) on that same baseline. That combination sets the entry price. It is not a limit on what the product can be. At 5,000 cards, the per-card floor on that same configuration is $0.08.

If you want a laminated finish, your option is velvet laminate on the 450 GSM Artboard with Velvet Laminate stock. The four 300 GSM stocks are supplied with no laminate. Choosing heavier stock, double-sided printing or a custom shape moves the price from that floor, but the drop across the ladder is steep either way. The right rung usually comes down to how quickly you hand cards out and how often your details change.

Use the table as a planning guide rather than a fixed rule. A solo professional may only need 100 cards while a new phone number is settling. A franchise rollout can work through 5,000 cards across many locations.

QuantityWhat it suits
100A trial run, a new role or a side project
250A short networking season or event series
500A solo professional who hands out cards weekly
1,000A small team sharing one brand across a year
1,500A growing service business with several staff
2,000A trade stand or a busy season of client meetings
2,500A multi-site clinic or studio
3,000A sales team working through a full year
4,000A franchise or dealership rollout
5,000A high-volume run and the best per-card rate for your chosen stock, sides and shape
