Frequently Asked Questions

There are heaps of ways you can use a business card, the most popular being networking. Having a stack of cards with your business details is great for handing out to prospective customers and keeping your business top of mind – and these low price business cards are perfect for high volume use at events and tradeshows.

You can also add a referral incentive to the back or use your business card as loyalty cards or appointment reminders for repeat customers. Or you could even use business cards as price tags or jewellery backers. We’re regularly seeing our customers find new ways to “hack” this small but mighty card!

Don’t worry – we’re here to make it easy for you. First, choose your thickness, paper stock and quantity – our essential range are our best price business cards and great if you’re new to business card printing. If you click “Browse designs”, on our product page; you’ll be taken to a gallery of designs where you can filter by industry, theme and more. If you already have a custom business card design you want to use, click on “Upload design”.

And if you have any questions, our designers and experts are always here to help.

Our essential business cards are 91 x 55 mm in size and are crafted from a 300 gsm paper stock (only 50 gsm less than our standard cards). Plus, you have the option to upgrade to a different paper stock or finish if you like.

Essential: This is our entry-level card and perfect for those who have a tight budget or who are just getting started. These low-cost business cards don’t skimp on quality – with a 300 gsm matte paper stock, they still impress. Plus, you have the option to upgrade to a different paper stock or finish if you like.

Standard: Our most traditional card is 350 gsm and offered in a matte or glossy finish. Our standard cards are a classic choice for most businesses, but you’ll still have the option to upgrade to unique touches like rounded corners.

Premium: Premium cards feature thicker paper stocks (up to 400 gsm) and a variety of eye-catching textures and finishes, like pearl, cotton or soft touch. These cards are made to stand out.

Specialty: Our Specialty range is perfect for unique projects and businesses. This is where you’ll find products like business card stickers and magnets and special stocks like plastic and cotton.

Different paper stocks best complement certain kinds of designs. Matte paper is an especially good choice if your design features vibrant designs with a lot of ink – the paper absorbs the ink especially well, so your design will look all the more vibrant and rich.
Yes. You can choose from our one or two-sided printing options.
You can write on our cards, but different markers or pens may give you different results.

When it comes to creating your business card, the sky’s the limit and we have thousands of templates you can choose from.

You can always filter our templates by industry, style or occasion, but here are a few ideas to help you get started.

For creative professionals: Choose a design that captures your unique style, personality and talent. Create a repeating background using your logo to add depth to your business card background. Include something about working with you, or simply say ‘hello’ with a personality-packed tagline. Show off your talent with a recent project or customer testimonial.

For business professionals: Competence is the most important thing your business card should communicate. Avoid whimsical typography and stick to more conservative font pairings. Geometric shapes and pastel colours are understated ways to add some personality to a more conservative design.

For personal trainers & fitness industries: If you focus on strength training or physical conditioning, consider an expressive logo and bold colour palette to communicate a sense of power and definition. Conversely, if your area of expertise is a healing exercise, like yoga, soft colours can help communicate the healing effects of your classes. Include a customer testimonial on the back for boosted credibility.
