We offer business cards in the common 55x90mm format in both our flexible and volume options.
Flexible Option
Cards can be printed on both sides or one side only and in any quantity from 100 to 25,000. The front is always in full colour, but the reverse can be full colour, black and white only, or blank. We print business cards on your choice of three heavy cards stocks 300gsm satin, 300gsm gloss, or 310gsm uncoated stock. The uncoated stock is the paper of choice if you need to write on your business cards. Cards can be plain, varnished or celloglazed. You can have a PDF or hard copy proof.
You can have up to ten different designs for the cost of the total number of cards. Each of the ten different designs can be completely different from the others you are not restricted only to name changes. For example, you could order 500 cards, and have 125 each of two designs, and 250 of another design and you would pay the 500 card rate. You could order 1000 business cards, and have 100 each of ten different names, and you would pay the 1000 card rate.
You can have business cards in a smaller size than 55x90mm 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.
Volume Option
Our volume option offers outstanding value. Cards are printed in full colour on one side or both sides in quantities of from 500 to 5000 on 310gsm artboard. The multiple design option is not available. Cards can be matt or gloss celloglazed on one side or both sides. We do not offer a hard copy proof option. Cards are dispatched no more than seven days after you sign off your proof.
It is important that you set your business cards up correctly. Please click here to see our business cards hints and tips page.
We offer postcards in three sizes, the commonly used 150x100mm size, an economical jumbo 170x118mm size that takes maximum advantage of our press sheet size and a DL postcard 99x210mm. Postcards are always printed in full colour on the front, but can be full colour, black and white, or blank on the reverse side. Postcards are available in three heavy card stock sizes 300gsm gloss, 305gsm single sided super gloss or 310gsm Pearl Artboard. If your postcards have full colour images on both sides, we recommend the 310gsm Pearl Artboard. If you want your postcards to be printed in black and white on the reverse side and if you want to be able to write on them, our single sided super gloss is a good option.
We can supply envelopes for all sizes of postcards
You can have up to eight standard postcard designs, four jumbo postcard designs or six DL postcard designs for the cost of the total number of cards (two, four, six or eight designs). For instance, you could order 250 each of four different standard designs, and pay the 1000 card rate. If your postcard prints 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.
We have a library of photographs for our customers to choose from when making up calendars. There is no reason these photographs can't be used for postcards and greeting cards. Click here to open the library. If you would like to use one or more of our photographs in your cards, simply tell us the reference number (A22 for instance) when submitting your job, and we will make up your card using the photo or photos you nominate at no extra charge.
We offer greeting cards in the popular 125x175mm format when folded. The unfolded size is 250x175mm. We trim and score the cards in the middle so they can be folded, but supply them to you flat.
We offer greeting cards in your choice of three heavy card stocks 300gsm satin or gloss, and 310gsm single sided super gloss. Greeting cards are always printed in full colour on the front, but can be full colour, black and white, or blank on the reverse side. If your greeting cards have full colour images on both sides, we recommend the 300gsm gloss or satin stock. If you want your greeting cards to be printed in black and white on the reverse side and if you want to be able to write on them, our single sided super gloss is the best paper to choose.
If your order is for 1000 cards or less, you can have up to eight different greeting card designs for the cost of the total number of cards (two, four, six, or eight designs). For orders of over 1000 cards we will print two designs for the cost of the total number of cards. You could order 125 each of eight designs, and pay the 1000 greeting card rate plus a small surcharge. Orders of more than 1000 cards would be printed offset where the same flexibility as to the number of designs does not apply. This does not mean we can't print multiple designs, but you should obtain a quote from us. Click here to go to our custom quote request form. If your greeting cards 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.
We offer two different sizes of bookmarks, 40x150mm and 50x200mm. Bookmarks are printed on 300gsm gloss stock in full colour on both sides. If you 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. You can have up to 20 different designs of standard bookmarks (two, five, ten or twenty designs) or 12 different designs (two, three, six or twelve designs) for jumbo bookmarks for the price of the total quantity plus a small surcharge.
We offer gloss or satin varnishing or celloglazing on all these products which adds impact and professionalism to your cards. Click here to learn more about our coating options.
