Appointment Cards

These cards earn their keep. They cost about the same as a plain business card to print, they slip into any wallet, and a printed reminder beats a text that scrolls away. Want to see how appointment cards sit next to the rest of the lineup? Browse every style on business cards printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 100 starts at $17.57, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count goes up, so a full box for a busy practice costs far less per card than a quick test batch. Tap any tier below to see the live set total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.

What is an appointment card?

An appointment card is a business-card-sized card that a dentist, salon, clinic or shop hands a client to confirm the date and time of the next visit. At 4OVER4 appointment cards print full color in 3 sizes, from a standard 2" x 3.5" card to a 2" x 2" square, on any of 72 stocks, with size, ink, rounded corners and finish all set in the live configurator.

Think of it as the card that leaves the front desk with a purpose. A receptionist writes the next date on it, or hands over a pre-printed one, and the client tucks it away where it does its job. Because the default size matches a normal business card, it fits the same wallet slots as everything else they carry. You set front-and-back printing (4/0, 4/1 or 4/4 ink), pick your stock, choose the size, add rounded corners if you want a softer edge, and the price updates live as you go. If you want the plain wallet format for a general handout instead, the Standard Business Cards cover that, and the appointment card sits right beside it as the version built to carry a date.

What sizes and shapes do appointment cards come in?

4OVER4 appointment cards come in 3 set sizes: a standard 2" x 3.5" card, a 2" x 2" square, and a slim 1.5" x 3.5" card. You can also set a custom size anywhere between 1.5" and 2" wide and 2" and 3.5" tall. Corners print square, or with a 3/8" or 1/8" rounded radius.

The right size comes down to how the card gets carried. The default 2" x 3.5" card is the classic business-card shape, so it slots into any wallet, cardholder or purse pocket a client already uses. Want something that stands out at the desk? The 2" x 2" square reads as a token rather than a formality. The slim 1.5" x 3.5" card is the narrow pick that still holds a name, a date and a phone number. If none of those is exactly right, set your own size in the configurator. Then choose square corners or round them off at a 3/8" or 1/8" radius for a card that feels finished. For a roomier square, the Square Business Cards go bigger.

You do not need a design background to make an appointment card look sharp. Start from one of thousands of free, professionally built layouts in our business card design templates, then change the colors, copy and logo in the online editor in minutes. Leave a clean space for the date and time, drop in your hours, and you are set.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank business card template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

What paper stocks and finishes can you choose?

4OVER4 offers 72 paper stocks for appointment cards, grouped into coated, uncoated, linen, metallic pearlescent, specialty and the Prestige Collection that runs up to 80pt. Finish options are Standard or a High Gloss UV Coating. Ink prints 4/0 (front only), 4/1 (front plus black back) or 4/4 (full color on both sides).

A reminder card can feel as premium as you want it to. The stock list runs 72 deep. Start with everyday 14pt and 16pt gloss cover. Reach for 14pt or 18pt linen when you want texture your fingers can feel. The metallic pearlescent stocks catch light like foil without the foil price, and the specialty group even includes an indoor magnet stock that sticks to a fridge where the date stays in view. Then the Prestige Collection, where cards climb from 24pt up to a genuinely chunky 80pt, some with a colored center core that shows at the edge. For a card that feels like a chip in the hand across a whole order, the Mini Cards lean into the same thick-stock idea in a smaller square.

How much do appointment cards cost?

Appointment cards start at $17.57 per set of 100, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so a cheap appointment card really comes down to how big a run you order. Most people land around a set of 300 for a first print, which is also our best-rated quantity. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

What do businesses use appointment cards for?

Any business that runs on a calendar hands these out. A dental office confirms the six-month cleaning, a salon books the next cut, a mechanic sets the next oil change, and a spa reserves the next session. Because the card is business-card sized, it lives in the same wallet slot as everything else the client carries, so the date comes with them. Print the front with your logo and hours, leave blank lines for the date and time, or add rounded corners and a High-Gloss UV Coating when you want the card to feel like part of the brand. Order on the indoor magnet stock and the reminder ends up on a fridge instead of in a drawer.

How Do Appointment Cards Compare to the Rest of the Range?

Appointment cards are the value pick when the card needs to carry a date, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a plain handout, a smaller square or a slimmer cut, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up appointment cards against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
