In a largely digital world where first impressions often linger, a business card becomes more than just a paper rectangle — it’s a statement. You’ve ventured out, perhaps started a business or stepped into the role of a consultant, ready to carve your path. Or maybe, after years of hard work, you’ve earned that long-awaited promotion. The moment you hand over a card, you create a connection, something tangible that stands apart in a sea of digital noise.
Simplicity, after all, is at the heart of how we present ourselves. Yes, you can exchange details through a screen, and attend mixers or networking events, but there’s something about offering a card that brings the moment into focus—something that says, “Here I am.”
We craft these moments in the form of business cards, standard in their precision at 85mm by 55mm, and available in small batches of 50 to bulk stacks of 50,000. And each one, no matter the quantity, holds the potential to leave an impression that lasts.
Business cards are so much more than just a place to add your professional details, they are a chance to do some mini-marketing. If you're looking for other options try these: creative cards | folded business cards | recycled business cards | square business cards | appointment cards | loyalty cards | stamps for cards
For details on how to set up your design files for our classic business cards see the Artwork Guide below.
The possibilities can be endless when you add imagination to the blank canvas that is a business card, waiting to tell a story. Your story. Build a brand, a business, or simply represent yourself using business cards as a lasting foundation - there’s a card for every journey.
Imagine the feel of it in your hand: perhaps the silky smoothness of a premium silk card, offering undeniable value with a tactile experience. Or the rustic charm of a 350gsm recycled uncoated card—perfect for those who crave a personal touch, the type you can write on, leaving a little piece of yourself with each handoff.
For those who value endurance, the 450gsm matt laminated cards offer a refined, sophisticated finish. Their smooth texture not only highlights softer tones but also stands resilient against the wear and tear of life on the go. These cards aren't just functional—they’re a work of art, meant to be felt, seen, and remembered.
For the bold, there’s the glossy laminated finish, catching the light like a polished gem. Thick and water-resistant, these 450gsm cards provide a firm, confident grip—an invitation to experience the brilliance of vibrant, reflective colors. But for those who understand the allure of subtlety, there’s the 450gsm Soft Touch card. It’s velvet to the touch, whispering luxury and sophistication with every stroke of the hand, the kind of card that leaves a lasting impression, almost too precious to let go.
Time, too, bends to your needs. The demand for urgency is met with same-day printing for our 350gsm silk and matt laminated options. Submit by 1pm, and by the next day, your cards are already in motion—proof that even in a fast-paced world, quality needn’t be sacrificed.
But these cards, these little ambassadors of who you are, go beyond introductions. They’ve found their way into unexpected places: as backing cards for delicate jewelry, as thank-you notes, as tokens of loyalty stamped with care. They’ve become save-the-date mementos, and even stood proudly as mini invitations, folded like a tiny book, opening to reveal more than just contact details. Each one holds the promise of a story, limited only by the bounds of imagination.
For those who crave a departure from the ordinary, square cards defy the expectations of size and shape, leaving their mark by simply standing out. Ideal for special occasions or a service that needs to be remembered, perhaps attached to a fridge by a magnet—speaking of which, there’s even a card for that. Magnetic cards, strong and steadfast, ensure your message never gets lost at the bottom of a drawer.
And with free UK shipping, there’s no need to wait—your story, your brand, is just waiting to be printed and shared with the world.
If you want to create a mini experience for the recipient, try using a folded business card that opens up like a book. These make luxurious appointment or loyalty cards and we happen to also sell stamps to compliment those now...
Square business cards are lovely and will physically stand out from the stack of cards in a drawer or wallet because they are a different size. We love these as "save the date" cards or for Taxi services that can be stuck to a fridge with magnets. If you fancy making a very long lasting business card you could always opt for which will ensure your message sticks and doesn't fester in a wallet anywhere.
