Business Card Printing Hints & Tips

Business cards can be ordered online in any quantity from one to 525,000.

You can have as many individual names for no additional charge if you order our Fast Digital Printing Business Cards. However, you must order each name in equal quantities, and you must order at least 250 of each card. Check out our Fast Digital Printing Business Card prices.

Our full colour discount priced business cards can have one design only. If you wish to have several names or designs, then each file must be ordered individually. Check out our full colour discount priced Business Card prices.

Business cards can be printed on one side only, or both sides, with the second side in colour or black and white. Use as much colour as your like. We print everything in full colour, so make use of it - it won’t cost any more!

Our standard business card size is 55x90mm. Your cards can be either portrait or landscape. Please set up your file to this size (or 60x95mm if you need bleeds which are explained further on).

Do not put a business card in the middle of an A4 or any other sized page.

DO NOT PUT A BUSINESS CARD IN THE MIDDLE OF AN A4 OR ANY OTHER SIZED PAGE.

MAKE YOUR FILE 54 x 89mm.

IF YOU HAVE COLOURS THAT GO THE THE VERY EDGE OF THE FINISHED BUSINESS CARD, THEN SET THE FILE UP AT 61 x 96mm

Please supply your files ‘one up’. In other words, don’t put more than one card on the page.

If your card has a back, please make the front of the card page one, and the back page two.

If you have more than one card, make page three in your file the front of the second card, and page four the back, and so on. However if the back is generic - the same for all cards - make the back the last page in the file, but be sure to tell us.

If your card prints right to the edge, you need to understand all about bleeds. If you don’t understand what we mean by bleeds, and how to create them, click here to find out. Please don’t ignore this important area of design.
