Business card printing

Request a quote for business card printing. Share the size, paper, quantity, and artwork so the specification can be confirmed before any cards are printed.

Business card printing services start with a file and a few physical choices: the cut size, the paper, the quantity, and whether the back is printed. Papriva does not show a per-card price on this page. Two jobs with the same quantity can still differ once the stock and the cut are known.

If you want a finish such as foil, edge painting, or embossing, describe it. Those are questions for the quote, not a list of finishes this page can promise. The same is true for a one-day turnaround. Timing is answered only when a job is actually reviewed.

Custom business card printing

Most requests fall into a few shapes. Pick the closest one and add anything that does not fit.

Standard rectangle

The size people usually mean is 3.5 by 2 inches, the US business-card size. Say if you need a vertical layout instead of a horizontal one.

Square business card printing

Square cards are a different cut. Include the exact square size you have in mind, such as 2.5 by 2.5 inches, so the file can be checked against it.

Custom shaped business cards

A circle, a die-cut contour, or another outline needs a cut path as well as the printed art. Custom shaped business cards are quoted only when that path is described.

Premium business card printing

People use this phrase for thicker or softer stocks. Name the feel you want, or send a paper you hope to match. The quote will say whether that sheet can be used.

Sizes, paper, and sides

Write the finished size in inches. If the art bleeds off the edge, also write the bleed your file already includes. A common file setup is extra image past the trim, but this page does not reject a file automatically for using a different bleed.

Paper is part of the quote. Uncoated, smooth cover, and colored stocks behave differently with the same artwork. If both sides are printed, say so. If only the front is printed, say that too. A QR code can sit in the artwork. It does not require a separate product. Test the code yourself before you send the file.

Painted edges, foil, and letterpress texture are easy to ask for and easy to misunderstand. Put them in the project details. If they cannot be produced for that file, the reply should say so instead of quietly substituting a different card.

Preparing a card file

A PDF is the easiest file to review. Outline or embed fonts if the file is coming from a design application. Photographs inside the card are easier to judge when you also state the finished size, because resolution depends on that size.

Keep important type away from the trim. If you are not sure how much margin you used, say that in the note. Color on your screen is not a promise of color on a particular paper. Tell us whether the file is RGB or CMYK. A printed proof is a separate request, not an automatic step.

Where cards are used

Introductions

Meetings, studios, markets, and job sites. One name or several names can be in the same request if you list the versions.

Teams

A shared back and different fronts is a normal note to include. It changes how the files are checked.

Business stationery

Letterhead, envelopes, and notepads do not have their own page. If you need them with the cards, add “business stationery” in the details and list each piece. Envelope printing depends on the envelope size and whether the art is on the face, the flap, or both. Notepads need a sheet size and a rough sheet count.

Stationery is confirmed in the same quote. Asking for it here does not create a separate order and does not guarantee every envelope size.

How to request card printing

01

Choose this service

The quote form can open with business card printing already selected.

02

Add quantity and versions

“250” is enough to start. “250 of three names” is better if that is the real job.

03

Attach the art if you have it

PDF, PNG, JPG, WEBP, or TIFF up to 8 MB. Leave the file off if you are only asking whether a size is possible.

04

Wait for the reply

The form saves a request. It does not charge a card and it does not send the job to production.

Questions about this service

Do you list a price per hundred cards?

No. Business card printing on this site is quoted after the size, stock, sides, and quantity are known.

Can you match a card I already have?

Describe it or photograph the edge and the surface in the file upload. The reply will say whether a match is realistic. It will not promise an exact mill match from a photo alone.

What if I need them today?

Do not plan on a same-day promise from this page. Ask for timing in the quote. If a short schedule cannot be met, you should hear that directly.
