Custom business cards are the pocket-sized print asset that most first impressions still run through — trade shows, client meetings, retail counters, and networking events. We print business cards for US professionals, small businesses, and enterprise sales teams on 14pt, 16pt, and 32pt stocks with matte, gloss, soft-touch, spot UV, foil stamping, and silk lamination finishes.
For US professionals, small-business owners, sales and business-development teams, real-estate agents, and creative agencies that hand-off physical cards as part of their sales and networking work.
About Business Cards
The card that still closes deals
Business cards should have died a decade ago and they did not — because handing over a piece of card is still one of the fastest, most memorable ways to end a US professional interaction. A well-designed, well-printed card carries brand cues that a LinkedIn connection request does not: paper weight, finish, edge treatment, foil, all reinforcing the seriousness and taste of the person handing it over. We print custom business cards for US professionals and small businesses that treat the card as the marketing asset it still is.
Stocks and weights
- 14pt cardstock: the everyday professional card. Sturdy, cost-effective, and takes any finish. The right pick for volume runs and general business use.
- 16pt cardstock: the noticeably heavier premium standard. Most brands step up here as soon as budget allows — the weight difference is immediately felt in the hand.
- 32pt ultra-thick cards: two sheets bonded with a printed or colored core showing on the edge. The design-credibility card — heavy, deliberate, and memorable.
- Kraft and specialty stocks: unbleached kraft for a natural / crafted look; cotton, linen, and textured art papers for high-end personal branding.
Finishes and treatments
- Matte and gloss lamination: the standard finishes — matte for muted, gloss for vibrant color pop.
- Soft-touch lamination: a velvety, fingerprint-resistant surface that reads premium on any stock.
- Spot UV: a raised, glossy accent over logo, name, or a design element — striking against a matte or soft-touch background.
- Foil stamping: gold, silver, rose gold, copper, and holographic foils for high-shine branding.
- Silk lamination with painted edges: the luxury design-agency standard — silky-smooth surface with a printed color band on the card edge.
- Embossing and debossing: a tactile, dimensional mark for the logo or wordmark.
Sizing and shape
Standard US business card is 3.5" × 2" — the size that fits every cardholder, wallet, and Rolodex on the market. We also print square (2.5" × 2.5"), mini (2.75" × 1.125"), and custom die-cut shapes (rounded corners, unique silhouettes) for brands where a non-standard footprint is a deliberate signal.
Design and print
We print full-color CMYK both sides with Pantone spot matching at no extra cost. Our US-based designers can lay out your card from your logo and copy, polish an existing design, or die-cut a specialty shape from a concept sketch. You approve a digital proof before print, and can request a physical sample (refunded on your first order) of the stock and finish to confirm the feel in hand.
Ordering, MOQ, and lead time
Minimum order is 100 cards. Standard production is 7–10 business days from artwork approval; rush 3–5 available. Every order includes free design support if you need it, a physical sample on request (refunded on your first order), and free US shipping. Per-unit price improves substantially at 250, 500, and 1,000+ — request a tiered quote for exact price breaks.
Why US brands choose us for business cards
Custom Box Printing manufactures business cards from our US production facility, with free standard shipping anywhere in the contiguous United States and a 7–10 business day turnaround. We've printed business cards for solo founders launching their first product line, growing direct-to-consumer brands placing 5,000-unit runs, and established retail brands with 50,000+ unit production schedules — and we treat all three the same: low MOQs (100-unit runs), free design support, no setup or die-plate charges, and a 3D digital mockup before anything goes to press.
Every business cards order includes free in-house dieline and artwork support — our US-based designers will polish your existing files, or build a custom dieline from scratch to fit your exact product dimensions. We send you a 3D mockup to confirm look and proportions before production. For color-critical work, request a physical sample free — let’s talk about a customized sample so you can confirm the look before a full run.
Materials, print, and finish options
Business cards are all about paper weight and finish. Standard 14pt cardstock is the everyday professional card — sturdy, cost-effective, and takes any finish. 16pt is the noticeably heavier premium standard that most brands step up to. 32pt is the ultra-thick, layered card — often printed as two sheets bonded with a colored core showing on the edge (the trend brands use to signal design credibility). Finishes range from matte and gloss to soft-touch (velvety, fingerprint-resistant), spot UV (raised gloss accents), foil stamping (gold, silver, rose gold), and silk lamination (silky-smooth with painted edges).
Available finishes include:
- Lamination: Gloss, matte, soft-touch, or velvet finish for a premium hand-feel.
- Foil stamping: Gold, silver, copper, or custom foil colors for high-visibility brand marks.
- Embossing & debossing: Tactile raised or recessed surface effects on logo or key artwork.
- Spot UV: Selective gloss coating that creates contrast against matte areas.
- Eco-friendly options: Recycled kraft, widely recyclable paperboard and water-based inks.
- Compliance: soy-based inks; child-resistant-style constructions for CBD/cannabis on request.
If you're not sure which combination will work best for your business cards, mention it in your quote request — our team will recommend the right material, print spec, and finish based on your product, budget, and brand positioning.
