Explore the options available for your project:

Standard Business Cards

Standard business cards are a practical choice for everyday networking, employee cards, sales teams, small businesses, and organizations. Choose single-sided or double-sided full-color printing and select a finish that complements your design.

Best for:

• Small businesses
• Startups
• Employees and sales teams
• Networking
• Conferences
• Professional services
• Everyday business use

If you need an affordable, professional card without specialty finishing, standard business card printing is a great starting point. Request a quote for standard business cards today.

Premium Business Cards

When your business card needs to communicate more than contact information, premium printing can make a stronger physical impression. Premium business cards can combine heavier stocks, sophisticated finishes, and specialty treatments to create a card that feels substantial in the hand and reinforces your brand positioning.

Premium options can include:

• 16pt and heavier stocks
• Silk finishes
• Soft-touch velvet or suede lamination
• Foil stamping
• Spot UV
• Raised Spot UV
• Embossing
• Debossing
• Ultra-thick stocks
• Painted edges
• Specialty and textured papers

Premium business cards are particularly effective for businesses where presentation and perceived quality matter.

Matte Business Cards

Matte business cards provide a smooth, non-reflective appearance with a clean and professional look. The subdued finish works especially well for minimalist designs, professional services, corporate branding, and cards containing substantial amounts of contact information.

Choose matte business cards when you want:

• A sophisticated appearance
• Reduced glare
• Easy readability
• A clean, modern design
• A professional corporate feel

Matte also provides an excellent background for specialty treatments such as Spot UV or foil stamping.

Glossy Business Cards

Glossy business cards have a smooth, reflective surface that can make colors, photographs, and graphics appear more vibrant. Gloss is particularly useful for visually driven designs where you want photographs, product images, or bold colors to attract attention.

Glossy cards are a strong option for:

• Photographers
• Designers
• Creative businesses
• Real estate professionals
• Restaurants
• Beauty businesses
• Product-based businesses
• Photo-heavy designs

If you're deciding between matte and gloss, consider whether readability and a subdued professional appearance or stronger color vibrancy is more important to your design.

Silk Business Cards

Silk business cards offer a smooth, refined finish between the traditional feel of paper and a more luxurious premium presentation. Silk finishes work well for businesses looking for something more distinctive than a basic matte or gloss card without going all the way to an elaborate specialty treatment.

They can be an excellent choice for:

• Corporate professionals
• Consultants
• Real estate agents
• Financial professionals
• Technology companies
• Executives
• Service businesses

Pair silk stock with professional typography and strong branding for a sophisticated business card that feels polished without being excessive.

Velvet & Soft-Touch Business Cards

Want your business card to feel different the moment someone picks it up? Velvet and soft-touch business cards add a smooth, tactile finish designed to create a more luxurious experience. Zebra Printing offers specialty options including 16pt suede business cards with soft velvet lamination, as well as other premium treatments.

Soft-touch finishes are especially suitable for:

• Luxury brands
• Real estate
• Beauty and cosmetics
• Interior design
• Fashion
• Hospitality
• Premium professional services

The tactile experience can make a simple exchange feel more memorable.

Foil Business Cards

Add metallic impact to your branding with foil business card printing. Foil can be used on logos, names, typography, borders, or selected design elements to create a distinctive metallic effect. Depending on the project, foil options can include gold, silver, copper, black, blue, red, and other specialty metallic effects.

Zebra Printing's current catalog includes both 14pt and 16pt foil business card options, which are particularly effective for luxury businesses, real estate, law firms, financial services, consultants, executives, beauty brands, and high-end service providers.

Spot UV & Raised Spot UV Business Cards

Want your logo or specific design elements to stand out without covering the entire card in gloss? Spot UV business cards apply a clear, glossy coating to selected areas of the design such as your logo, company name, pattern, contact information, or graphic elements.

Raised Spot UV takes the effect further by adding a tactile raised surface. This works particularly well when paired with a matte or soft-touch background because the contrast between the smooth matte surface and glossy raised elements makes the design noticeably prominent. Zebra Printing offers 16pt suede business cards with Raised Spot UV among its specialty options.

Embossed & Debossed Business Cards

For a tactile, sophisticated appearance, consider embossed or debossed business cards. Embossing raises selected areas of your design above the card surface, while debossing presses selected elements into the card. These techniques work especially well for logos, monograms, initials, minimalist designs, luxury brands, and professional services.

Thick & Ultra-Thick Business Cards

Thickness can dramatically change how a business card feels in the hand. Zebra Printing lists 14pt, 16pt, 18pt, and 32pt options:

• 14pt Business Cards: A versatile option for everyday professional use.
• 16pt Business Cards: A substantial premium option suitable for businesses that want a firmer feel.
• 18pt Business Cards: A heavier option for customers seeking additional rigidity.
• 32pt Business Cards: An ultra-thick option designed for maximum visual and tactile impact.

Painted Edge Business Cards

Make your business card stand out even when viewed from the side. Painted edge business cards add color to the edges of thick cardstock, creating a distinctive visual detail. A black card with a colored edge can reinforce a bold modern identity, while a premium white card with a brand-color edge creates an understated, elegant effect. Zebra Printing offers 32pt uncoated painted-edge business cards in its catalog.

Plastic Business Cards

For customers who need something beyond traditional paper, plastic business cards offer a durable and distinctive alternative. Zebra Printing's specialty card offerings include 20pt plastic cards in opaque, clear, and frosted options. They are ideal for membership cards, loyalty programs, outdoor-related businesses, and durable contact cards.

Specialty Business Cards for Standout Brands

If standard cards aren't distinctive enough, specialty printing offers foil stamping, Raised Spot UV, embossing, debossing, velvet soft-touch, ultra-thick construction, painted edges, colored cores, custom die-cut shapes, and specialty textures to match your unique brand identity.

The paper you choose affects more than appearance—it changes the weight, stiffness, texture, and overall perception of your card:

• 14pt & 16pt Stock: A strong choice for professional everyday cards and premium designs.
• 18pt C1S: Useful when you want a coated side for vibrant printing and an uncoated side that can be written on.
• 32pt Stock: Ideal when thickness and tactile impact are top priorities.
• Linen & Specialty Textures: Provide an additional tactile element for classic or distinctive branding.
• Suede / Velvet: Engineered for a soft-touch luxury experience.

The standard US business card size is 3.5" × 2". But standard dimensions aren't your only option. You can also choose:

• Horizontal business cards
• Vertical business cards
• Square business cards
• Slim business cards
• Mini business cards
• Custom die-cut shapes
• Rounded corners

For most businesses, the standard size remains the safest choice because it fits conventional wallets and card holders. A custom size or shape is worthwhile when differentiation is more important than wallet compatibility.

You can print your business cards on one or both sides depending on your messaging needs:

• Single-Sided: Best when you want a simple, economical card with essential contact information.
• Double-Sided: Keeps the front clean while utilizing the back for logos, service lists, social handles, QR codes, appointment fields, office locations, taglines, or certifications.

Need business cards for an upcoming meeting, networking event, conference, or new hire? Zebra Printing offers same-day business card printing for qualifying standard digital card orders submitted before the daily cutoff. Specialty finishes such as foil or Spot UV require additional production time.

Same-day printing is ideal for:

• Upcoming networking events
• Last-minute client meetings
• New employee onboarding
• Sales presentations and pitches
• Conferences and trade shows
• Urgent replacement cards
• New business launches

Contact Zebra Printing before submitting your order to confirm same-day production availability for your quantity, paper stock, and artwork.

The cost of business card printing depends on specific project parameters rather than one universal price. Your final investment is influenced by:

• Quantity: Larger runs significantly reduce the unit cost per card.
• Paper Stock: Standard stocks cost less than heavy 32pt or specialty textures.
• Printing Sides: Single-sided vs. double-sided production.
• Finish: Matte, gloss, silk, velvet, foil, Spot UV, or specialty coatings.
• Specialty Construction: Plastic, duplexed 32pt, painted edges, and die cutting.
• Turnaround: Standard production vs. expedited rush or same-day service.

Business card needs vary significantly depending on your field and brand positioning:

• Real Estate: Use premium stock, metallic foil, or Spot UV to complement a professional real estate brand.
• Technology & Startups: Choose clean minimalist designs, QR codes, and soft-touch finishes that support a modern identity.
• Law Firms: Consider sophisticated typography, traditional stocks, linen textures, or understated foil accents.
• Financial Services: Professional, highly legible, heavy cards that reinforce credibility and trust.
• Contractors & Home Services: Durable, clear cards that ensure contact info remains accessible when clients need repairs.
• Restaurants & Hospitality: Vibrant colors, food imagery, or QR codes that drive repeat reservations.
• Consultants & Executives: Silk or velvet finishes that project refined attention to detail.
• Corporate Teams: Maintain brand consistency across large organizations with volume ordering.

Searching for "business cards near me" usually means you want more than an automated online checkout. You need fast turnaround, paper samples, artwork assistance, reliable color matching, and local accountability.

A great business card starts with a properly prepared file. Before sending your artwork, verify these essential items:

• High-Resolution Artwork: Ensure all vector graphics and raster images are at least 300 DPI.
• Safe Zone: Keep all critical text and logos at least 1/8" inside the trim line.
• Bleed: Add a standard 1/8" (0.125") bleed on all sides if artwork extends to the edge.
• Accurate Contact Info: Double-check names, titles, phone numbers, emails, addresses, and QR codes.
• Consistent Branding: Align fonts, colors, and logos with your website, signage, and marketing collaterals.

A business card should not be cluttered with unnecessary detail. Keep it easy to scan by answering three fundamental questions: Who are you? What do you do? How can someone contact you?

• Front of Card: Company logo, full name, professional title, and primary contact details.
• Back of Card: Website, QR code, list of core services, social channels, office address, or appointment slots.
