PLEASE NOTE: The above prices are the costs for printing only. Click here to calculate the ARTWORK COSTS, if any.

If print-ready artwork is supplied then there are no artwork charges.

CORPORATE BUSINESS CARD USERS

If your requirements are for multiple names split across different offices please see:
< Corporate Business Cards >
to see how we may 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 £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.

Recycled card is available in 250gsm only

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:
Spot Colours Explained

 

CMYK Printing

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

printed letterhead CMYK colour icon 2

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.

Laminated business cards

If you have been wondering where to get business cards that are that extra bit special, and would like to see samples of our superb laminated business cards then please send us a message using the 'contact us' form found at the bottom of this page.

We will endeavour to get the samples to you by the next working day.

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.

"400gsm card is now our minimum standard, which is roughly double the weight offered by many 'budget printing' companies."

If you'd like to get a price for your business cards, whether plain or laminated, then simply drop us a line using the 'contact us' form below.

This will generate a 'ticket' where we can keep track of all correspondence regarding your business card, or business stationery enquiry.

You will have the option of being contacted either by email, or telephone.

Re: our Privacy Policy.
We will not hold your contact details and bombard you with 'marketing' bumf or annoy you with telephone calls.

We take your privacy very seriously.
