What We Make

The full kit of capabilities.

350–400gsm Stocks
Commercial through premium weights.
Duplexed Construction
Two bonded sheets, optionally with a contrasting core.
Soft-Touch and Matt Lamination
The premium surface finishes.
Spot UV, Foil and Emboss
Specialist finishing that reads immediately on handling.
Edge Painting
Colour on the card edge, most effective on thick stock.
Die-Cut and Rounded Corners
Shaped cards and softened corners.
Uncoated Writeable Stocks
For cards people write appointments or notes on.
Short Runs
Viable quantities for small teams and individual variants.
Thin Economy Stocks
Below around 300gsm a card feels flimsy, and that impression forms before the design is read. It is a poor place to save money.
Metallic Effect by Ink Alone
Printed "metallic" ink does not reproduce true metal. If you want foil, it has to be foil.

How to measure
01
Measure the product

A cylinder needs two figures, not three: the diameter across its widest point, and the height. Measure the item itself, not the pack you happen to use today.

02
Add clearance

Allow 2–3 mm on the diameter so the product drops in without binding, and a few millimetres of headroom if a lid, pillow or tissue sits on top.

03
Give us the order

We quote round formats as Diameter × Height. Tell us whether you are working in millimetres or inches and we match it.

What It Costs

Custom Business Cards is priced per specification rather than from a fixed list — the same box in two different finishes can land at very different numbers. Below is what actually moves the price, so you can shape the spec before you request a quote.

What moves the price
Quantity

The single biggest lever. Unit cost falls sharply as volume rises, because setup and tooling spread across more pieces.

Material and thickness

Board weight and stock choice change both the raw material cost and the shipping weight of the finished run.

Finishing

Foil, spot UV, embossing and soft-touch each add a pass on press. One or two lift the box; five compound the cost.

Print coverage

Full-bleed print inside and out costs more than a one-sided design on natural stock.

Inserts and hardware

Foam, moulded pulp, velvet pillows, magnets and ribbon are priced per piece on top of the box itself.

Timeline

Standard production is the base rate. Rush moves you up the production queue and carries a surcharge.

— Frequently Asked Questions —

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know about Custom Business Cards.

350gsm is the commercial standard and it feels substantial. 400gsm is where most premium cards sit — the difference is noticeable in the hand, and it is a small cost increase on a small overall spend.

Below about 300gsm a card feels flimsy, and that registers before anyone reads the design. It is one of the least effective places to save money on print.

Above 400gsm you move into duplexed construction — two sheets bonded together, often with a contrasting coloured core visible at the edge. These are genuinely thick and unmistakably deliberate.

One practical consideration: if people write on your cards — appointment times, notes — specify an uncoated stock. Laminated and silk surfaces resist pen ink, which is frustrating for a card meant to be written on.
