Our Business Cards are printed on 450gsm matt art card (i.e. 450gsm triple coated silk art board). They come either unlaminated, with gloss lamination on one side, or with matt lamination both sides. The minimum Litho Printed Business Card order quantity is 250 and they can be printed single or double sided for the same price. If you choose to add Digital Embossing to your Business Cards, they will be matt laminated both sides as well.

If you require Digitally Printed Business Cards (which enables you to have smaller quantities and variable data) please take a look at our Digital Business Cards page.

If you require extra finishing, the number of working days will increase by a day or two. The despatch time, including the time required for the extra finishing, will be shown in the Product Description.

For a day to be treated as the first working day, we require your printing order and payment along with print quality artwork before 10am. Alternatively, for a small additional charge, you can delay the printing order, payment and print quality artwork cut-off time to 3.30pm.

Artwork and PDF requirements for Business Cards

• We operate a PDF workflow, so please supply your artwork as a Press Quality PDF. If you prefer, we can create a PDF for you, in which case we will email a proof to you for approval. There is an additional charge for this PDF creation service from £20 plus VAT.
• If any print reaches the edge of your finished job, please add 3mm bleed to all sides of your artwork
• We need a "quiet area" to ensure nothing important is too near to the edge of the finished item; so please leave a 5mm inner margin for anything other than backgrounds
• We recommend that any Digital Embossing stops 1mm from the trimmed edge
• Supply files to us in CMYK, not RGB please
• Image resolution should be 300dpi or more
• Please embed fonts or convert all of your text to shapes
