Design Guidelines
Send print-ready artwork at the finished size plus 1/8" (3 mm) bleed on every side, in CMYK at 300 dpi, with fonts outlined or embedded. PDF is preferred. Keep text and logos at least 1/8" inside the trim line.
Not sure your file is ready? Upload it anyway: we check every file before printing and send a proof for your approval. See our design guide for details, or tick "I need help with the design" in the form.
What’s the difference between 14pt and 16pt AQ Business Cards?
14pt cards are slightly thinner and great for large orders or everyday use, while 16pt cards are thicker and feel more premium — perfect when you want to make a strong first impression.
Can AQ Business Cards be printed on both sides?
Yes. Our AQ Business Cards are printed in full color on one or both sides using high-resolution CMYK technology. This ensures sharp, consistent results ideal for logos, branding, and photographic designs.
Are AQ Business Cards suitable for bulk or wholesale printing?
Absolutely. The AQ coating makes these cards durable and cost-effective for bulk or wholesale orders. They’re a popular choice for agencies, resellers, and companies that require consistent quality and quick turnaround times.
What are the paper options available for AQ Business Cards?
We offer AQ Business Cards printed on 14pt and 16pt cardstock. The 14pt stock provides flexibility and economy for high-volume use, while the 16pt stock offers extra stiffness and a premium hand feel for a more substantial impression.
Are AQ Business Cards printed in full color?
Yes! We print in vibrant CMYK full color, ensuring your design, images, and logo look crisp and professional on every card.
Are AQ Business Cards durable?
Yes. The semi-gloss coating protects against smudges, scratches, and fingerprints, helping your cards stay fresh and professional even after being handled many times.
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.
