Why Classic Business Cards Matter

Even in a digital world, a well-printed business card is often the first physical interaction someone has with your brand. Make a memorable, professional impression with cards that showcase your style and identity.

Custom Business Cards: Features, Cardstocks, and Coatings

Classic 3.5" x 2" business cards remain one of the most effective ways to attract new customers and expand your reach. Despite the digital revolution, business cards create crucial first impressions in both B2B and B2C interactions. Our custom business cards are affordable compared to many online print competitors, while still printing luxuriously on 16pt cardstock.

  • 16pt Card (UV Coating)

    This shiny card is subtly thicker than the 14pt stock. The further rigidity prevents folds and creases. Additionally, colors appear extra vivid and glossy due to the stunning UV coating.

  • 16pt Card (Matte Coating)

    The matte 16pt variant exudes professionalism and high quality. The colors in your artwork appear a little muted for a sophisticated, subdued effect. Ballpoint pens with oil-based ink and permanent markers write best on this surface.

  • Heavier Cardstocks

    Are you looking to go a little fancier with your new business cards? Enjoy whopping 17pt magnet cards, 18pt C1S cardstock, 20pt plastic cards, or 32pt painted-edge business cards.
