Description

Business Cards provide contact information in a convenient, standardized size. While much of the information is the same from one Business Card to another, font, style, substrate, and imagery set you apart and make your impression unique.

To place a single order for the same Business Card design with different names or contact information, use the Versions section in the pricing calculator. For example, if you would like to order the same design for 4 different people, type "4" under Versions. When you choose "place order," you will be able to upload 4 files. Up to 4 versions can be uploaded in a single PDF, which means only 1 proof would be necessary.

70% ink coverage maximum. We recommend no heavy solid backgrounds. Heavy coverage may extend turnaround time due to dry time to avoid scuffs or scratches.

  • What is Pantone?

2/2

Two colors on both sides of the sheet, including Pantone colors. This option can reproduce exact Pantone colors. A typical example of this is brochures with specific corporate or team colors.

Please note:
In order to reproduce Pantone colors, we will use ink of that specific color. Pantone colors in your file must be specified as the Pantone color you desire. Do not convert the Pantone color to CMYK. While many Pantone colors can be reproduced using blends of CMYK inks, this approach is only available when you order 4-Color Offset or Digital. This is because our 1 & 2 color presses have a maximum of two ink stations.

While many colors can be built as a blend of other colors (for example, red and yellow combined create orange), our 1 & 2 Color printing requires that your files specify that you want orange (Pantone #165) and not a mix of red and yellow.

We get rave reviews for our 1 & 2 Color printing. Following the guidelines above will make it easy for you to get what you want. If you don't know the Pantone color equivalent for the color you want, you can find a Pantone sample book at most art and design stores.
