What materials and finishes are available for Die Cut Business Cards?
These cards are printed on durable premium cardstock and can be finished in gloss, matte, silk, or UV coatings. Each finish provides a different tactile experience—gloss for shine and vibrancy, matte for elegance, silk for a soft-touch feel, and UV for enhanced durability and color contrast.
Are custom shapes available for Die Cut Business Cards?
Absolutely. You can choose from popular pre-defined shapes like rounded corners, half circles, or leaf cuts—or submit your own custom die line to create a completely original card design that reflects your brand identity.
What is the turnaround time for Die Cut Business Cards?
Turnaround varies based on complexity and quantity but typically ranges from 5–7 business days. Rush options may be available for select shapes or finishes.
Can I create my own shape for a Die Cut Business Card?
Yes! You can choose from standard shapes or upload your own custom die line. From hearts and circles to creative silhouettes, your business cards can match your logo, product, or brand style perfectly.
What kind of finish can I choose for my Die Cut Business Cards?
You can select from gloss, matte, silk, or UV finishes. Gloss adds shine, matte gives a refined look, silk feels soft and luxurious, and UV provides an extra-bright, high-gloss effect.
Are Die Cut Business Cards durable?
Yes! They’re printed on premium-quality cardstock that resists bending and fraying. Combined with your chosen coating, they maintain their shape and color through frequent handling.
Can you print business cards on both sides?
Yes, we offer both 4/0 Full Color Front and 4/4 Full Color on both sides printing options for business cards.
Will my design appear the same on all types of paper?
No, it won't. Various paper types absorb ink differently, which can change how your design looks when printed. When choosing your paper, think about whether your design is mostly dark or light, if it has lots of color or simple lines and text. Then, choose the paper that matches your design and overall style best.
Can a business card with rounded corners fit in a wallet, pocket, or business card case?
Absolutely! Even though we've rounded the corners, the card remains a standard size – 2" x 3.5". It fits just like the regular cards you're used to, neither larger nor smaller.
