We offer online business card printing services in the common 55mm x 90mm format and a four-page 110mm x 99mm format that fold to 55mm x 90mm.
We trim and score four-page business cards in the middle so they can be folded, but supply them to you flat — they travel to you better this way.
Business cards can be either landscape, which is the usual format, or portrait. They can be printed on both sides, or one side only.
Business card fronts are always printed in full colour, but the reverse can be full colour or blank — discount priced business cards are always printed in full colour on both the front and the back.
We digitally print business cards on 300gsm satin stock sustainable plantation paper.
Our discount priced business cards are printed on 310gsm Art Board stock or a 350gsm stock that is 55% recycled paper and 45% sustainable plantation paper.
Beware of other online printers that offer business cards. Do not accept stock any less than 300gsm — all stocks under this grades are merely bits of paper that look CHEAP!
You can have up to ten different designs on with the one 'Fast Digital Printing' business cards order, and pay for the cost of the total number of cards (e.g.: place ten different designs, with each design having 1,000 cards printed, for the cost of one 10,000-business-card order). However, you must order each design in equal numbers. For example, you could order 500 business cards, and have 250 each design.
Your discount priced business cards order (and your magnetic business cards order) can contain up to ten different designs as you wish, but orders for each design must be in equal amounts and in increments of 1,000 for each design. For instance, you could submit three business card designs in our discount-priced section with one order of 3,000 business cards (i.e.1,000 of each design), but you could NOT order 1,500 of each of three designs (i.e.: each design must be ordered in increments of 1,000 business cards).
It is important that you set your business cards up correctly. Visit our business cards printing hints and tips page. There are also some software-specific webpages that relate to setting up business card files:
- Setting up an InDesign file for business cards.
- Setting up an Illustrator file for business cards.
- Setting up a Photoshop file for business cards.
You can have business cards in a smaller size than 55mm x 90mm if you wish, but the price will be the same. Simply proceed with your order as normal, and tell us in the comments box the final size you require — and of course set your cards up appropriately.

Postcards are always printed in full colour on the front, but you can choose the back that you want (i.e.: full colour or blank). Past digital printing ostcards are available in two heavy card stocks - 300gsm gloss and 300gsm satin. Our Discount priced full colour postcards are available in either a 310gsm Art Board stock or a 350gsm 55% recyclled and 45% sustainable plantation stock. Discount priced postcards can have a high gloss celloglaze coating for the front. We also offer postcards printed on recycled paper.
See our "Fast Digital Printing Services" and "Discount and Cheap Printing Services" postcard prices.
Do not accept postcards that are printed on paper that is less than 3300gsm - it is just paper. They are not cheap in money terms, but they do look cheap.
Full colour digitally printed postcards can be ordered in any quantity from our regular digital postcard printer section, and you can have as many designs as you wish, but each design must be ordered in equal numbers. For instance, you could order 300 each of four different designs, and pay the 1,200 full colour postcard rates.
Our discount priced postcards are offered in set quantities, and you can have uncoated or Cello-glazed fronts. Our discount priced postcards are price competitive (i.e.: you can buy them cheaply). Please note that you can only have one design with each discount priced postcard printing order.

We trim and score the full colour greeting cards in the middle so they can be folded, but we supply all greeting cards to you flat - they travel to you better this way.
We offer our fast digitally printed greeting cards in your choice of two heavy card stocks — 300gsm gloss and satin stock. Our discount priced greeting cards are available in 310gsm Art Board and on a 350gsm satin stock that consists of 55% recycled paper.
Greeting cards are always printed in full color on the outside of the greeting card, but can be full color or blank on the inside of your greeting card.
Your printed greeting card order can contain as many designs as you wish, but orders for each design must be in equal amounts. For instance, you could submit three full colour greeting card designs with one order of 900 digitally printed full colour greeting cards (i.e.: 300 of each design).

If you are using bookmarks for advertising, then select the Jumbo size, as they are far more noticeable to the reader when they are used.
Fast Digitally printed Bookmarks are printed on 300gsm gloss and 300gsm satin stock. Discount Priced bookmarks are printed on 310gsm Art Board stock or a 350gsm 55% recycled and 45% sustainable plantation stock. The reason for these choices of paper stock is simple: bookmarks are meant to last, and anything under 330 gsm, or 310gsm Art Board stock will not weather the storm of being slotted into, and taken out of, books. If you want cheaper paper, then ask for a custom quote, but we suggest you take the stronger paper that we offer.
Feel free to place as many designs on the one order when you are purchasing our bookmarks. However, please note that orders for each design must be in equal amounts . For instance, you could submit three bookmark designs with one order of 900 digitally printed bookmarks (i.e.: 300 of each design).
If your bookmarks print right to the edge of the page, please be sure to supply your file with bleeds. Click here to go to our explanatory page on bleeds.

- Standard DL — 99mm x 210mm;
- Four-page DL — 198mm x 210mm; and
