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 £72.00 per name which adds up to £288.00. 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 £169.00.
( 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. |

Please Note:
Recycled card is available in 250gsm only.
(This weight may be insufficient for your needs.)

Business card printing in the UK.
Laminated business cards our speciality.
Spot Colour Printing

Spot colours are individually-mixed inks that are chosen from a colour swatch. The industry-standard colour model is supplied by Pantone ©.
Spot colours are used in situations where colour accuracy is essential, e.g. corporate logos.
They can also be added to 4 colour work such as marketing materials to preserve the colour accuracy of the brand.
For a more in-depth explanation, please see here:

CMYK Printing
- a.k.a. 4 colour printing, full colour printing

Process colours are normally used where continuous tones (such as in photographs) are required.
The primary colours Cyan , Magenta & Yellow are mixed with Black to produce the full range of colours. |

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. |
