Business Cards

One Range, Seven Printed Card Types

The business cards online range brings seven card types printed in house, with artwork uploaded at checkout. Business card printing services here cover all seven, starting with Standard Business Cards as the everyday full color option. The choice between products turns on shape first, then stock, then the finish a trade expects. A cafe and a photographer may both need a card, but they rarely need the same cut or surface. Work through shape, paper, and finish to narrow the range without guesswork. Because every type is ordered through the same upload and approve path, the decision stays with cut, stock, and finish rather than a separate process.

Shape Sets the Size Before Finish

The shape sets the size before any finish is chosen. Rectangle, rounded corner, and custom shape cards run 90 mm x 55 mm, circle cards run 60 mm x 60 mm, and oval cards run 90 mm x 50 mm. Preset sizes across the range are 90 mm x 55 mm, 90 mm x 50 mm, and 60 mm x 60 mm. Five shape options, rectangle, rounded corners, circle, oval, and custom shapes, are available on the standard, flat foil, colored paper, and duplex card types. Colored Paper Business Cards and Duplex Business Cards carry those five cuts into a colored or two sided stock. The 90 mm x 55 mm rectangle remains the standard business card size across the range, while circle and oval cuts step out of that proportion. Because the shape sets the size, a circle card cannot be produced at 90 mm x 55 mm, and an oval card cannot be produced at 60 mm x 60 mm.

Stock, GSM, and Finish Choices

Professional business cards in this range draw on 300 gsm matte, linen, cotton, and metallic stock, plus 360 gsm premium, 350 gsm heavyweight, and 450 gsm artboard with velvet laminate. A colored paper range adds 270 gsm navy, 270 gsm black, and further colored stocks. The finish set spans standard, flat foil, raised foil, Scodix, spot UV, duplex, and colored paper. Flat Foil Business Cards and Raised Foil Business Cards cover the flat and raised foil finishes, while Scodix Business Cards and Spot UV Business Cards add raised or selective surface interest. In this range, spot uv business cards work on a rectangle or rounded corner, while the raised foil and Scodix cards stay rectangle only at 90 mm x 55 mm. The 350 gsm heavyweight and 360 gsm premium give a firmer edge than the 300 gsm stocks, and the 450 gsm artboard gives the firmest base in the range. For a card that sits on a counter or gets passed across a desk, the 450 gsm artboard or a two sided duplex base changes the hand feel.

Artwork, Color, and QR Codes

All seven types print full color on the front only or front and back, so a QR code in the supplied artwork is treated like any other element. For qr business cards, a code drawn in the supplied artwork prints exactly as drawn; keep quiet space around it and enough contrast against the paper. Supply artwork in CMYK color space where possible. RGB files are converted at press, and any color shift risk is flagged on the digital proof. The proof is sent within 1 to 2 business days, and the production clock starts after you approve it. The proof is also the point to confirm the code has kept its contrast, because that detail is not corrected at press. If the code sits on a dark stock, a light code area is the safer contrast choice.

Samples, Proofs, and Pack Quantities

You can order business cards in 1 to 10 packs at a time, and a physical sample can be ordered before you commit to a full run. A sample pack lets you check the real stock and finish in your own hands before a larger order. If the choice is between two finishes, sample them first; the stock texture under your fingers answers what a screen cannot. The sample pack is the direct way to compare a flat foil against a raised foil or a spot UV against Scodix before the full run, and the 1 to 10 pack count keeps reorders flexible. Ordering one pack first also tests how the card holds up in a wallet or a sleeve before you reorder.

Which Finish Fits Each Trade

Cafes and salons often choose colored paper or duplex for menus and loyalty cards, because the edge and the back matter when the card sits on a counter. Clinics use the same range for appointment reminders, where a clean standard or spot UV finish keeps the next visit visible. Design studios lean toward Scodix or spot UV on a clean rectangle or rounded corner for portfolio cards. Builders keep a standard rectangle as a site contact, while photographers favor circle, oval, or custom shapes for a signature portfolio card. Event planners often select foil finishes for invitations and menus. Each trade meets the same range at a different point, so the same seven card types serve different handouts without changing the production path. The same range therefore covers a countertop loyalty card, a studio portfolio card, and a site contact card without requiring a different supplier for each.
