Setting the Standard for Fast, Same-Day Business Card Printing
Standard business card printing is essential to any company, whether it’s a startup or an established institution. Every card you hand out determines the impression both new and old clients will make about your brand. That’s why we offer fast, same-day printing for standard business cards that doesn’t compromise the product’s quality. No feature is missed, so you can reap the rewards your custom business cards every time you hand them out.
Strike Strong With Custom Business Cards
By default, your custom business cards will measure 2” x 3.5”, the standard size for US business cards. Its compact size has several benefits:
- Slightly smaller than a credit card
- Fits inside a wallet and doesn’t take up a lot of space
Keep in mind that your business card design should also have the following sections included to prevent any printing errors:
- Bleed area: covers the ends or edges of the entire design. Make sure the background of your business card covers this area.
- Safety line: marks the exact point for the printer to cut the business card. Make sure all the important information is within the safety line.
- Trim line: the line where the card will be trimmed. This gives allowance between the safety line and bleed area.
Don't have time to account for these standard business card measurements? Our layout templates include these specifications. Download your preferred standard business card dimensions to get a head start on your design.
Durable and Premium Quality Cardstock For Your Standard Business Cards
Choose from three classy and long-lasting cardstock choices that look and feel professional for your custom business cards.
14 pt. Cardstock
- The standard choice for most business cards
- A durable cardstock that lasts
16 pt. Cardstock
- A little thicker and heavier than the 14 pt. cardstock
- Extra heft provides a professional look and feel
17 pt. Cardstock
- Slightly thicker than the 16 pt. cardstock
- Comes with an uncoated surface on both sides that is writable
- Provides an elegant look and feel
Make Every Detail Count With the Right Finish
Aside from providing extra protection for your custom business cards, the optional protective coating highlights the most important parts of your business card design. Choose a finish that reflects your brand or company’s personality – there are several to choose from!
Gloss
- Colors instantly pop as the entire design shines
- Bring attention to your branding by coating both sides of a 14 pt. or 16 pt. Cardstock
High Gloss UV
- Gives your brand that extra shine
- Calls attention as soon as it lands on your client’s hands
- Coat the front of a 14 pt. Cardstock for that distinct finish or both sides to sustain the customer’s attention
Matte
- An elegant touch on both sides
- Ideal for luxury brands or designs
- Available in the standard 14 pt. Cardstock and in the more substantial 16 pt. Cardstock
Uncoated
- Provides a writable surface for cards that will be attached to important documents
- Applied on one or both sides, depending on the space allotted for writing
You can also opt for smooth, rounded corners – play with the overall aesthetic and get them on alternating sides or on all of them. We can assure all-around quality in our standard business card printing however you decide to customize your business cards.

You can definitely upload your artwork in full bleed so we can make sure that no important elements will be compromised during the cutting process and this would also eliminate the appearance of white border along the edges of the final product. The artwork needs to be built to the final trim size plus 1/8″ bleed on each side. Therefore, if you are ordering a 2" x 3.5" business cards, the graphic file’s size should 2.25" x 3.75" Also, when generating the file into the proper format, do not use any crop or printer marks as these will increase the dimensions of the design file.

High gloss cardstock may not be the best material we recommend for writing especially for a ballpoint pen. Though using a permanent marker may work with sufficient drying time.

Unfortunately, shipping them together won't be possible. As this will be printed separately. We print every design separately. I would suggest creating an account with FedEx or UPS so that we won't be the one to charge you for shipping instead the courier will be billing you directly and would be a lot cheaper.

Yes, that is correct. The business cards would need to be ordered separately. If you are to order 100 sets of business cards with different names on them, we can check with our product consultants if we can do variable data printing for the job. If the options you need can't be configured online, you can contact our customer service team for assistance, or you can submit a custom quote request here.
