Editor's Take

If you want a business card that’s different from the rest, consider PrintPlace. It offers four business card stocks, gloss and uncoated finishes (including matte and high-gloss UV), and print quantities between 25 and 500,000.

Editor's Take

PrintRunner offers many different business card stocks, including 32 pt uncoated card stock, which you can get with painted edges. There are 17 color options, including metallic for extra pizazz. Per its design team, going with a white, unpainted edge can give it an understated, minimalistic luxe feel.

You can get them in three sizes: 2-by-3.5 inches, 2.125-by-3.375 inches and 2.5-by-2.5 inches. These are sturdier than traditional business cards as they come uncoated and are about twice as thick as a standard business card, and roughly 2 pts thicker than a credit card.

Who should use it:

PrintRunner is best for business owners who want to order business cards with painted edges.

Pros & Cons

Fast turnaround time
Comes in 17 painted edge colors
Fade resistant
Many design options, such as metallic finishes
Can print on both sides

It doesn’t have the best reviews
Shipping costs are high unless spending at least $69 for free shipping

Methodology

To find the best business card printing services, we looked at a variety of factors. We considered each service’s design capabilities, print quality, price, paper options and durability, as well as turnaround time and customer service. We also took into account features such as free samples, die-cutting and rush shipping to identify the best printing services for specific needs:

Pricing: Business card printing services typically charge by the square inch, with discounts for ordering in bulk. We considered each company’s pricing options and any discounts or promotions they offered.
Design capabilities: To ensure a professional-looking business card, we looked for services that offered easy-to-use design tools and a wide variety of templates. We also considered those that offered full-service design assistance if you need help putting together the perfect card.
Print quality: We evaluated each company’s print quality by ordering samples from each one and comparing them side by side. We looked at things such as print registration, sharpness, bleed quality and color accuracy per customer reviews.
Paper options and durability: Business cards need to be printed on high-quality paper stock to make a good impression. We considered the different types of paper stock each service offered as well as any special features or finishes that could enhance your cards. We also looked at customer reviews to get a sense of how durable and long-lasting each company’s cards are.
Turnaround time: Business cards need to be printed quickly so you can start using them right away. We considered each company’s standard and rush shipping options to see how long it would take to receive your order.
Customer service: In the event that something goes wrong with your order, it’s important to have a customer service team that’s responsive and helpful. We looked at each company’s customer service offerings, including phone, email and live chat support, as well as its return policy.

How To Choose a Business Card Printing Service

When choosing a business card printing service, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind. First, consider your budget and how many cards you need. Business cards typically cost between 5 cents and 50 cents per card, although you can find services that offer discounts for larger quantities.

Next, think about the design of your business card. Do you need help with the design? If so, look for a service that offers design assistance. Otherwise, make sure the service you choose has easy-to-use design tools and a wide variety of templates to choose from.

Finally, consider the turnaround time you need. Most business card printing services have standard and rush shipping options, so you can get your cards quickly if you need them. However, keep in mind that rush shipping will usually cost more.
