CORPORATE BUSINESS CARD USERS - if your requirements are for multiple names split across different offices please <click here> to see how we may be able to help.

Grouped Business Card costs explained

When calculating the cost of your cards please note we can print blocks of up to 4 names at no extra cost. e.g.

4 names x 200 cards, 1 colour, if ordered separately would be £63.00 per name which adds up to £252.00. If grouped together and using the 1,000 rate (to give 4 x 250 cards) would only cost £119.00, thereby making a saving of £133.00. (Please Note: this does not apply to laminated business cards as this involves an entirely different process. Please see the laminating section above right for more details).

In the above example the artwork cost would be the same for 4 names as it would for 1 name. If print-ready files have been supplied then there would not be any artwork charges. The above calculations only apply to cards of similar design/colour.

If you require multiple names printed then please check with us for special pricing options.

Recycled card is available in 250gsm only

Laminated business cards

If you would like to see samples of our superb laminated business cards then please

Lamination?
Basically, a very thin piece of protective film is applied to the card.

This also helps to give the card a nicer appearance and thicker feel.
