What do business cards cost at each quality tier?

Business card budgets stretch a long way, especially at higher quantities where the per-card cost drops sharply. Start by deciding how premium you want the card to feel.

• Most affordable: standard 14pt cards cover everyday networking on a tight budget.
• Mid-range: heavier stocks and simple finishes add presence for a modest bump.
• Premium: 32pt stocks, plastic cards, and specialty finishes cost more but leave a stronger impression.

For most businesses, spending a little more per card pays off in perception and how long the card gets kept.
