Paper Stock and Finishes
Picking the right stock and finish matters more than most people realize. Here's what we carry and when to use each:
Cardstock Options
| Stock | Weight | Feel | When to Use It |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14pt C2S | Standard | Solid, professional | Most businesses — good balance of quality and cost |
| 16pt C2S | Premium | Thick, substantial in hand | Real estate, law, finance — when the card itself needs to impress |
| 100# Cover | Offset | Smooth, consistent | Runs of 1,000+ where Pantone accuracy matters |
Finishing Options
- Matte: Clean, modern look. You can write on it with a pen — useful for appointment cards.
- Gloss: Colors pop more. The standard choice for photo-heavy designs.
- UV Coating: Adds a protective shell. Resists fingerprints, scuffing, and moisture.
- Spot UV: Selective gloss over a matte base — use it on your logo or name for a tactile contrast.
- Soft-Touch Laminate: A velvety texture that people notice immediately. Works well for premium brands.
- Rounded Corners: Cleaner look, and the cards don't dog-ear as fast in a wallet.
- Embossing: Raised lettering or logo (offset only). Adds a physical dimension you can feel.
How We Print Your Cards
From your file to finished cards — here's the process

Design Help If You Need It
No design? No problem. Our G7-certified designers build business cards from scratch:
- Logo design or cleanup from a low-res file
- Layout and typography optimized for 3.5" × 2" — there's less room than people think
- Pantone brand color matching for exact reproduction
- QR codes linked to your website, booking page, or LinkedIn
- Two or three concepts to choose from before we print
Design rates: $75/hour or flat project pricing. Request a quote
File Specs for Print-Ready Artwork
Submitting your own design? Here's what we need for clean output:
- Card size: 3.5" × 2" (custom sizes available)
- Bleed: 0.125" on all sides — keep text 0.125" inside the trim line
- Resolution: 300 DPI minimum
- Color mode: CMYK (we can convert RGB, but colors shift — especially blues and greens)
- Fonts: Convert to outlines so nothing substitutes on our end
- Best formats: PDF, AI, EPS, or PSD with layers
We check every file before it hits the press. If something's off — low resolution, missing bleed, wrong color mode — we'll flag it and help you fix it. No charge for file review.
Who We Print For
Real Estate Agents
Heavy 16pt C2S with spot UV on the headshot side. We print for agents across south OC — Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, Irvine, Dana Point. Most reorder every 3-6 months.
Contractors and Trades
14pt matte — durable enough for job sites, writable for jotting down estimates. Back of the card is prime space for listing your license number and service areas.
Medical and Dental Offices
Matte finish with appointment reminder fields on the back. Clean layout, professional type. We handle multi-provider offices where each doctor needs individual cards with consistent branding.
Startups and Freelancers
Modern layouts with QR codes linking to portfolios, Calendly, or LinkedIn. Digital printing means you can order 250 now and reorder with updated info next month without waste.
Sales Teams and Corporate
Bulk pricing for teams — same design template, individual names and titles. We've done runs for teams of 10 to 100+ with consistent color and stock across every card.
