Overview

The short answer, then the detail.

Plastic business cards are printed on white PVC at 86 × 54 mm, landscape or portrait. Choose 570 micron or 760 micron, which is credit card thickness. Print one or both sides and add gold or silver foil on the front if you like. Quantities run from 25 to 5,000 cards.

Plastic business cards are tough, wipe-clean cards that last far longer than paper. They also work as membership, loyalty and staff cards.

Plastic business cards: sizes and materials

Cards are white PVC at 86 × 54 mm, in landscape or portrait (54 × 86 mm). Choose 570 micron for a slimmer card, or 760 micron, which is the thickness of a credit card and feels solid in the hand.

Print on the front only or on both sides. You can add gold or silver foil to the front. The foil goes on the parts of your design you choose, such as a logo or a name.

Quantities. Order 25 to 5,000 cards (25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1,000, 2,500 or 5,000). The price each falls as the quantity rises; the table next to the price shows the price each for every quantity.

Artwork, file check and delivery

Send a print-ready PDF at the finished size plus 3 mm bleed on every edge, text at least 3 mm inside the trim. Paid options: typesetting, full design from a brief or logo redraw (fixed fees shown with the artwork choices), each with a proof and 2 rounds of changes. If you add foil, also send a separate black-only layer showing the foil areas, or ask us to set it. Our Manchester team checks uploaded files for resolution, size and bleed so they print well. Your cards are made to order by our UK production partner. Saver is from 10 working days to dispatch after your artwork is approved, Standard from 8 and Express from 7.

Frequently asked questions

About plastic business cards.

How long will my order take?

Saver is from 10 working days to dispatch after your artwork is approved, Standard from 8 and Express from 7. UK mainland delivery is £7.95, free on orders of £99 and over; Scottish Highlands +£10; islands and Northern Ireland are quoted.

What artwork do I need to send?

A print-ready PDF at 86 × 54 mm plus 3 mm bleed on every edge, text 3 mm inside the trim. For foil, add a separate black-only layer showing the foil areas, or ask us to set it.

Do you check my file?

Yes. Our Manchester team checks your print file and finish layer for resolution, size and bleed so they print well. If we set the finish layer for you, we check it the same way.

Which thickness should I choose?

570 micron is the slimmer option. 760 micron is credit card thickness and feels rigid, which suits membership, loyalty and staff cards that get used every day.

Where can the foil go?

Gold or silver foil goes on the front of the card only. It is applied to the areas marked on your foil layer, such as a logo, a name or a border.

Can I have portrait cards?

Yes. Choose 54 × 86 mm portrait instead of 86 × 54 mm landscape on the product page and set your artwork up the same way round.

Questions

Buyer questions about this product, answered. Can't see yours? Ask below and our team will reply.

What size are Plastic Business Cards and how do I set up the file?

The finished size is 86 × 54 mm landscape or 54 × 86 mm portrait. Artwork: Print-ready PDF with 3 mm bleed, plus a black-only foil layer if foil is chosen. Keep text at least 3 mm inside the trim so nothing is cut off.

Which sizes can I order Plastic Business Cards in?

Plastic Business Cards come in 2 listed sizes, from 54 × 86 mm portrait at £81.32 up to 86 × 54 mm landscape at £81.32. Prices are the lowest option for each size. Every listed size and its price is in the Prices by size table on this page.

I do not have artwork. Can you design it for me?

The Artwork choice on this page offers: "I will upload print-ready artwork" (free), "Add my text and logo to a clean layout (typesetting)" (£15), "Design it for me from my brief" (£35), "Redraw or vectorise my logo from a low-res file" (£50) and "Design a new logo for me" (£100). Design fees are fixed, show as their own line in the basket and cover the whole quantity of that item. Typesetting includes 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes; design from your brief includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. Plastic Business Cards are printed on 570 micron white PVC and 760 micron white PVC (credit card thickness).

How much do Plastic Business Cards cost?

Plastic Business Cards start from £81.32 with size 86 × 54 mm landscape, Card 570 micron white PVC and Printed Front only on the Saver turnaround. The price in the calculator changes live as you pick the size, material, finishing, quantity and turnaround, so you see the final price before you add to basket. No VAT is added because we are not VAT registered. Delivery is added at checkout: 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).

How long do Plastic Business Cards take to make?

On the option the calculator opens on, Saver is ready to dispatch in 10 working days, Standard in 8 and Express in 7. These are working days to dispatch, counted from when your order and artwork are confirmed, and other sizes or materials can take a day more or less: the calculator shows the exact days next to each turnaround. Courier delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days after dispatch, and we email the tracking details when the parcel leaves us. Plastic Business Cards start at £81.32 before delivery.

Do you charge for delivery?

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), so one card at £81.32 on its own pays £7.95, and the charge disappears once your basket reaches £99. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes add £10 once per order. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order.

What printed options are there for Plastic Business Cards?

You can choose front only or both sides. This decides which faces carry print. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Plastic Business Cards are printed on 570 micron white PVC and 760 micron white PVC (credit card thickness).

What happens if my file is not good enough to print?

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. For Plastic Business Cards, set your file up at the size you order, for example 54 × 86 mm portrait.

What file should I upload?

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. Plastic Business Cards are printed on 570 micron white PVC and 760 micron white PVC (credit card thickness).

Can I order now and send my artwork later?

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. For Plastic Business Cards, set your file up at the size you order, for example 54 × 86 mm portrait.

How much is an 86 × 54 mm landscape card?

A 86 × 54 mm landscape card starts at £81.32 for 25 on the lowest priced options and Saver turnaround. Pick that size in the calculator to see the price with your own material, finishing and turnaround. UK mainland delivery is £7.95, free once your basket reaches £99.

Can I order more than one of these cards?

The quantity is part of the options: from 25 up to 5000 (25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 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. Plastic Business Cards start at £81.32 before delivery.

How many cards should I order?

Order what you will use before the details change: phone numbers, offers and prices go out of date. Quantities run from 25 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. Plastic Business Cards come in 2 listed sizes, from 54 × 86 mm portrait to 86 × 54 mm landscape.

Will the price change at checkout?

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. Plastic Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

What is the smallest order for Plastic Business Cards?

The smallest quantity in the options is 25, then 50, 100, 250 and 500. 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. Plastic Business Cards come in 2 listed sizes, from 54 × 86 mm portrait to 86 × 54 mm landscape.

Can I pay for express production on Plastic Business Cards?

Yes. Express makes these cards ready to dispatch in 7 working days on the opening option, priced at £94.16 against £81.32 on Saver (10 days). To plan back from a date, add 1 to 3 working days for the courier after dispatch and allow for artwork: production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. If the date is very tight, call 0161 315 1151 before you order.

Do you deliver Plastic Business Cards to the Scottish Highlands?

Yes, with a difference in price. 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. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order: use Get a quote or call 0161 315 1151. We do not deliver outside the UK. On the opening option, Plastic Business Cards are ready to dispatch in 10 working days on Saver or 7 on Express.

What is the difference between Plastic Business Cards and Uncoated Business Cards?

Plastic Business Cards use 570 micron white PVC and 760 micron white PVC (credit card thickness), while Uncoated Business Cards uses 300gsm brown kraft, 300gsm textured uncoated and 350gsm recycled uncoated. Prices start at £81.32 and £19.42 respectively. Standard turnaround is 8 working days against 4. Pick the one whose size and material fit where it will go; both pages show live prices for every option.

What is the difference between Plastic Business Cards and Textured Business Cards?

Plastic Business Cards use 570 micron white PVC and 760 micron white PVC (credit card thickness), while Textured Business Cards uses 300gsm textured uncoated and 250gsm Rives Shetland (textured). Plastic Business Cards have 2 listed sizes from 54 × 86 mm portrait; Textured Business Cards comes in 85 × 55 mm. Prices start at £81.32 and £29.16 respectively. Standard turnaround is 8 working days against 5. Pick the one whose size and material fit where it will go; both pages show live prices for every option.

What is the difference between Plastic Business Cards and Square Business Cards?

Plastic Business Cards use 570 micron white PVC and 760 micron white PVC (credit card thickness), while Square Business Cards uses 350gsm silk card and 350gsm recycled uncoated. Prices start at £81.32 and £19.64 respectively. Standard turnaround is 8 working days against 6. Pick the one whose size and material fit where it will go; both pages show live prices for every option.

Can I write on these cards?

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. Plastic Business Cards are printed on 570 micron white PVC and 760 micron white PVC (credit card thickness).

Can I print something different on the back of these cards?

Yes. Choose the both-sides printing option and supply two pages in your PDF: page 1 is the front, page 2 the back. The back is a good place for a map, opening hours, a price list or terms, while the front keeps the main message. Plastic Business Cards are printed on 570 micron white PVC and 760 micron white PVC (credit card thickness).

Will my brand colours print exactly?

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. Plastic Business Cards come in 2 listed sizes, from 54 × 86 mm portrait to 86 × 54 mm landscape.

Can someone help me choose the right options for these cards?

Yes. Call us on 0161 315 1151 or message us on WhatsApp and tell us where the card will go, how long it needs to last and your deadline. You can also ask a question on this page; our team answers and the question may be published to help other buyers. For a price on something the calculator does not cover, use Get a quote. Plastic Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

Can I return these cards if I change my mind?

No. These cards are printed to your order, and the 14-day right to cancel does not apply to goods made to your specification (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, regulation 28(1)(b)). You can cancel for a full refund before production starts. If an item is faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, your Consumer Rights Act 2015 rights apply and we reprint or refund. Plastic Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

Where are Plastic Business Cards made?

Plastic Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner. Either way, InstantBanners takes the order, checks your file and deals with you from start to finish, and the item is delivered to you by courier. You can reach our Manchester team on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp if you have a question before or after you order.

Can I get a quote for a large order or an unusual size of Plastic Business Cards?

Yes. Use the Get a quote page and tell us the size, quantity, material, deadline and delivery postcode, and attach any artwork you have. We reply by email or WhatsApp with a price. A quote is also the way to go for delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. Plastic Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

Do I need an account to order?

No. You can check out as a guest and pay by debit or credit card, processed securely by Stripe. Creating an account at checkout lets you see past orders in My Account. Either way you get an order confirmation email and a tracking email when your order is dispatched. Plastic Business Cards start at £81.32 before delivery.

Can I change my artwork after ordering?

Contact us straight away on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp with your order number. If production has not started we can take a corrected file, or cancel the order and refund you in full. Once production starts the order cannot be changed. Printing that matches the design you approved or the file you supplied is not a fault, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates carefully before you order. Plastic Business Cards come in 2 listed sizes, from 54 × 86 mm portrait to 86 × 54 mm landscape.

Can I get a VAT invoice?

No. We are not VAT registered, so we do not charge VAT and cannot issue a VAT invoice. You get an order confirmation email with the items, options and total paid, which works as your receipt. Because no VAT is added, the price you see in the calculator is the price you pay for the goods, with delivery shown at checkout. Plastic Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

How do I pay?

By debit or credit card at checkout. Payments are processed securely by Stripe, and we never see or store your full card number. Your order goes into production once payment is taken and your order and artwork are confirmed. For a large or unusual order you can ask for a quote first. Plastic Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

Can I order several different designs in one order?

Yes. Add each design to the basket as its own line with its own file or online design, then check out once. Delivery is charged once per order, and becomes free when the goods total reaches £99. If several lines use the same artwork, choose "Same artwork as another item in my basket" so you only pay one design fee. Plastic Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

Can I reorder the same card later?

Yes. Order the same product and options again and upload the same file. Keep your print-ready file safe so a repeat order is quick. If anything like a phone number or price has changed, update the artwork before you reorder. Plastic Business Cards come in 2 listed sizes, from 54 × 86 mm portrait to 86 × 54 mm landscape.

What if my order arrives damaged?

Check it when it arrives. If anything is damaged or missing, tell us within 48 hours with photos of the item and the packaging, through the contact form or on WhatsApp, with your order number. Do not send anything back until we reply; we then arrange a reprint or a refund. This does not affect your legal rights, which the returns page explains. Plastic Business Cards start at £81.32 before delivery.

Can these cards be recycled?

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. We also offer recycled options. Plastic Business Cards are printed on 570 micron white PVC and 760 micron white PVC (credit card thickness).

How should I store these cards?

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. Plastic Business Cards are printed on 570 micron white PVC and 760 micron white PVC (credit card thickness).

What should a tradesperson put on these cards?

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. Keep it uncluttered: fewer, larger words read better than a long list of services. Plastic Business Cards are printed on 570 micron white PVC and 760 micron white PVC (credit card thickness).
