Business Card Printing

Our file check catches the usual problems: the wrong size, no bleed, low resolution images and text too close to the edge. We tell you what needs fixing before anything is printed, and you can send a new file. If you would rather we sort it, the typesetting option (£15, 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes) sets your text and logo on a clean layout. Business Cards can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.

A PDF at the finished size is best, with fonts embedded or converted to outlines. We also take AI, EPS and SVG, and high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF files. Word, PowerPoint and Canva files are fine as a starting point, but export a full-quality PDF if you can. You can upload up to 3 files of 25 MB each on the product page, or upload later: we email you after you order. Business Cards can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.

Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order. Your designer can send the file to us by email or WhatsApp with your order number, so it does not have to come through you. The turnaround clock starts once your order and artwork are confirmed, so send the file early if you have a deadline. Business Cards can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.

Order what you will use before the details change: phone numbers, offers and prices go out of date. Quantities run from 100 to 5,000, so compare two or three quantities in the calculator to see the price each. For a campaign, a smaller first run lets you test the design before a bigger order. Business Cards start at £20 before delivery.

Only delivery is added. The goods price you see in the calculator is final, with no VAT added. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it). Any artwork or design fee you choose shows as its own line in the basket, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Business Cards start at £20 before delivery.

The quantity is part of the options: from 100 up to 5000 (100, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 2500 and 5000). The price shown is the total for the quantity you pick, so divide by the quantity to compare the price each before you order. For a bigger run than the options list, ask for a quote with the size, quantity and deadline. Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

The smallest quantity in the options is 100, then 250, 500, 1000 and 2000. The price shown is the total for that quantity, so compare the price each at two or three quantities before you choose. Ask for a quote for anything the options do not list. Business Cards start at £20 before delivery.

Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes, for example around Inverness, Fort William, Oban and Thurso, pay the mainland rate plus £10 once per order, even when the order qualifies for free delivery.

Uncoated and textured cards take a ballpoint or fountain pen best. Silk card is fine with a ballpoint once dry; laminated and gloss surfaces need a permanent pen and can smudge. If you plan to write appointment times or notes on the back, leave that side unlaminated. Business Cards are printed on 350gsm silk card and 450gsm silk card (extra thick).

Supply CMYK where you can. RGB files are converted to CMYK for print, which can make very bright greens, blues and oranges look slightly duller. If you need a brand colour matched, give us the Pantone reference and we match it as closely as the material allows. Small differences between a screen and the printed item are normal, because screens give off light and print reflects it. Business Cards can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.

Yes. Choose the both-sides printing option and supply two pages in your PDF: page 1 is the front, page 2 the back.

Business Cards can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.

Keep printed paper and card flat, in the box it came in, somewhere dry and away from direct sun and heat. Damp makes paper curl and can stop it feeding through printers; sun fades colours over time. Take out only what you need so the rest stays clean. Business Cards are printed on 350gsm silk card and 450gsm silk card (extra thick).

Unlaminated paper and card go in normal paper recycling. Laminated items, foils and plastic cards are harder to recycle, so check your local council's rules. Business Cards are printed on 350gsm silk card and 450gsm silk card (extra thick). Store it dry and away from heat between uses.

Your business name and logo, what you do in a few words, your phone number, email and website, and the area you cover. Add your registration number as text if your work needs one.
