Business Cards Printing
Business cards in heavyweight board, letterpress, embossed and PVC, for buyers who want the card to feel different in the hand.
Business cards here are about the stock and the process rather than the printing alone: 600gsm double-sided board, 4-colour embossed cards at the standard 3.5x2 inch size with no MOQ, letterpress cards from MOQ 200pcs, and recyclable PVC cards for a plastic finish. Letterpress physically presses the image into thick cotton-feel board; embossing raises it; 600gsm gets its effect from sheer thickness, often by duplexing two sheets. Each of those is a different machine pass, which is why they price differently at the same quantity. The buyer decides thickness, process, and whether both sides carry print.

What This Solves and Who Buys It
Problems It Solves
- Standard 300gsm cards that feel identical to every other card in the recipient's wallet.
- Letterpress artwork designed with heavy solid coverage, which the process cannot hold cleanly.
- Small partner or founder runs rejected by suppliers with high minimums.
- Cards specified with an edge or corner treatment that was never checked against the cutting method.
- Double-sided dark cards showing white core at the trimmed edge on cheap stock.
Who Buys It
- Architects and design studios wanting a letterpress card that signals craft.
- Founders and partners ordering a short run of 200pcs rather than a box of 1000.
- Estate agents and consultants issuing 600gsm double-sided cards to a field team.
- Events and hospitality businesses using durable PVC cards that survive a pocket.
- Print brokers reselling specialty card finishes to their own design clients.
Where It Is Used
- Letterpress cards for an architecture practice's partners.
- 600gsm double-sided cards for a national sales team refresh.
- Embossed cards handed out at a design industry awards evening.
- PVC cards used as combined business card and loyalty card in hospitality.
- A short 200pc run for a new consultancy before a funding round.
Why Order It Here
- Letter press printing is an in-house method, not an outsourced specialty, so short letterpress runs are practical.
- Hot foil stamping and embossing sit alongside offset and UV, so foil, emboss and colour can be combined on one card.
- Digital printing turns short runs and samples in 1-2 working days, so a proof card can be in hand quickly.
- Artwork is preflighted before imposition, which catches type set too fine to letterpress or emboss cleanly.
- Every finished card is hand checked for colour match against the approved artwork before packing.
Decisions to Make Before You Order
Decide the Thickness First
600gsm feels substantially different from standard stock and is what most buyers actually mean by a premium card. Thickness is the single change recipients notice before any finish.
Design for the Process You Choose
Letterpress suits line work, type and small solids, not heavy flood colour. Embossing needs shapes with enough body to raise. Send the design early and we will advise what will hold.
Check the Card Size for Your Market
3.5x2in is the standard here. European and Asian standards differ slightly, so confirm which one your wallets and card holders expect before the cutting is set.
Know the Minimum for Each Process
Embossed 4-colour cards run with no MOQ; letterpress starts at 200pcs. The process, not the design, sets the minimum, so ask before settling on a finish.
Business Cards Printing Questions
What is the smallest quantity you will print?
The 4-colour embossed 3.5x2in cards have no MOQ, and letterpress starts at 200pcs. That makes a single founder or partner run practical rather than wasteful.
What is the difference between letterpress and embossing?
Letterpress presses the inked image down into the stock, leaving a debossed impression you can feel. Embossing raises the shape upward from behind, usually without ink.
Can I combine foil and embossing on one card?
Yes. Hot foil stamping and embossing both run in house, so a foiled and embossed logo is one production sequence rather than two suppliers and two shipments.
How do I supply business card artwork?
PDF or AI at minimum 300dpi with fonts saved as outlines, with 3mm bleed and type kept clear of the trim. Supply front and back as separate pages.
How quickly can business cards be produced?
Digital short runs and samples take 1-2 working days. Letterpress, embossing and foil add machine passes, so allow the 4-5 working day offset window for those.
