Artwork:

This part is key!   Make sure your photos and logos are high resolution for your business cards, preferably 300 dpi (Dots per Inch).  No PNG or GIF files.  They look great on web, but don’t work in print.  And make sure you submit your art with bleed.  Bleed means submit your art 1/4″ larger in width and 1/4″ larger in height than you really need with no copy or graphics near the edges.  That way when we make our cut on your business cards  you won’t have a photo or copy cut off.  For Example if your business cards ares 3.5″ x 2″ submit artwork as 3.75″ x 2.25″.  Submit as a PDF is best, JPG is OK, but it will go faster if PDF.

Business Cards  Stock:

14 point is a very nice premium card stock.  16 Point is nearly the same price and just a little thicker.

Business Cards Coating:

UV coating is glossier than AQ.   Choose AQ Matte  if you want to write on it.  Satin, also a Matte  is available on 16 point cards only.  Spot coating is only when you want just a certain “spot” coated.  We print many more UV products so choose UV if you are in a hurry, turnaround is faster.

Color:

Choose one side color, both sides color or Color on Front, black only on back.  Price is almost identical so most people stick with color.

Turnaround:

Remember the clock doesn’t start until you approve your proof.  If you choose no proof it will get into the mix sooner, but we highly recommend a proof as a double check.  In hurry?  Go with Next day it cost more, but you said you are in hurry.

Finishing:

Rounded edges are cool, but like most things cool it cost more and takes longer.

Quantity:

Need 500, check out 1,000.  There is often little difference in ordering the next size up of business cards.
