Branding > Print Materials > Business Cards

Business cards are a great way to get your name out there!  

Some business card design tips:
-  should be professionally designed and printed
-  don't print business cards on your own home printer...and especially not on those perforated business card sheets, the small amount* you will spend on professional printing will definitely be worth it!
-  stay away from "embossed" business cards, they look outdated
-  use color!  (Our business card printing includes limitless colors on both sides). 
-  print on both sides (Ex. contact info on one side, explanation of services/products/business on the back side)...business cards are basically "free advertising" so get as much information as you can while still keeping the design clean and simple
-  add an interesting "extra" like rounded corners** or spot UV coating***

* Our business card pricing (2-sided, full color, full bleed, 2x3.5")
250 - $70
500 - $85
1000 - $100

**Rounded corners > add $10 for 1000 business cards

***Spot UV coating is when you accentuate a certain design element with a glossy overprint. Contact us if you would like for us to send you some samples of UV coating!  >  add around $50
