How it compares
- Same stock logic applies to business cards: 13pt enviro, 14pt and 16pt standard, 18pt+ specialty.
- The cross-applicable comparison — 14pt is the workhorse, 16pt is the smallest perceptible upgrade.
What stock and finish are suede business cards?
Suede Business Cards use suede laminated card — matte film with a tactile drag; reads luxury at point-of-pickup.
What sizes are available?
Standard 3.5×2 inches in either horizontal or vertical orientation. Both fit a standard wallet card slot. Square (2.5×2.5) and slim (3.5×1.5) variants are available as custom die-cuts on the premium 14pt/16pt stocks.
How should I prepare my file?
Build at the final trim size (3.5×2 in landscape) plus 0.125" bleed on every edge — your upload size is 3.75×2.25 inches. Keep important text and logos at least 0.125" inside the trim line. Export as a press-ready PDF at 300 dpi in CMYK color space. Outline fonts before export to avoid font substitution.
How long does printing take?
Production typically runs 3–5 business days from file approval, plus shipping selected at checkout. Specialty finishes (foil, spot UV, painted edge, die-cut) may add 1–2 days. Larger quantities don't meaningfully extend production because press setup dominates short to mid runs.
Can these be printed on both sides?
Yes — double-sided printing is standard at no extra cost. Full-color on both faces, with the same bleed and safe-zone rules applied to each side.
