Hand Over a Card People Feel Before They Read
The stock is the whole point. Each cotton business card prints on a thick 45pt uncoated cotton that feels soft and weighty in the hand, closer to a fine cotton sheet than a slick printed card, and a set of 250 starts at $328.42, rated a perfect 5.0 out of 5 across 7 reviews. It is the card a designer, an architect, or a boutique owner reaches for when a glossy rectangle would say too little, and it comes from a shop that has printed more than 10 billion cards for over 150,000 businesses.
These cards are built to be pressed and dressed. The uncoated cotton takes foil stamping and debossing beautifully, and you can add a band of painted color along the cut edge of the thick stock.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 250 starts at $328.42, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count climbs to 2,000, so a full box for a launch or a rebrand costs far less per card than a small first batch.

What are cotton business cards?
Cotton business cards are premium cards printed on a thick 45pt cotton stock, an uncoated natural paper with a soft, tactile surface. At 4OVER4 they print full color on one or both sides in 3 sizes, from a standard 2" x 3.5" card to a 2.5" x 2.5" square, with foil stamping, debossing and painted edges all available in the live configurator.
A cotton business card is what you hand over when the card itself is part of the impression. Instead of a slick coated finish, the 45pt cotton stock is thick and uncoated, so it feels soft and weighty in the hand, closer to a fine cotton paper than a printed card. That surface takes ink cleanly and pairs beautifully with pressed effects. You set full color on the front with a blank or black back, or full color on both sides, pick your size, and the price updates live as you build it.
How much do cotton business cards cost?

The price scales across 4 quantity tiers up to 2,000, and the per-card cost falls to roughly $0.44 at the top. Foil stamping, debossing and painted edges add to the total, and the configurator shows the exact number before you commit.

What sizes do cotton business cards come in?
4OVER4 cotton business cards come in 3 set sizes: the standard 2" x 3.5", a slim 1.5" x 3.5", and a 2.5" x 2.5" square. You can also order a custom size up to 3" x 4". The standard 2" x 3.5" is the default and fits any wallet or cardholder.
Most people start with the classic 2" x 3.5" card, the size that slides into any wallet and cardholder. Want something that stands out on shape alone? The 1.5" x 3.5" slim cut reads modern and narrow, and the 2.5" x 2.5" square feels deliberate and design forward. If none of those is exactly right, you can order a custom size up to 3" x 4". All 3 sizes and every option are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
What finishing options can you add?
Cotton business cards at 4OVER4 support foil stamping on the front, the back, or both sides, debossing on the front, the back, or both, and painted edges along the cut. Ink prints 4/0 for full color front with a blank back, 4/1 for full color front with a black back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides. Every option is set in the live configurator and priced as you add it.
This is where a cotton card earns its keep. Foil stamping presses a metallic shine into the surface, on the front, the back, or both sides, and the uncoated cotton makes it pop. Debossing works the other way, pressing your logo or type into the stock so you can feel it, again on the front, the back, or both. Painted edges add a band of color along the cut edge of the thick 45pt card, a small detail people notice the instant they hold it. Set your ink coverage to 4/0, 4/1 or 4/4 depending on whether you print the back.
If a single effect is the whole point of your card, 4OVER4 also builds cards designed around each one. The Foil Stamped Business Cards center the metallic press, the Debossed Business Cards are built around the pressed impression, and the Edge Painted Business Cards make the colored edge the star.

Who are cotton business cards for?
Cotton business cards suit designers, architects, photographers, boutique brands, executives, and anyone whose card needs to feel premium. The thick uncoated stock and pressed finishes make them a fit for luxury retail, weddings, and high-end services where the tactile impression matters as much as the printed information.
Cotton cards are for the moment when the card is doing more than sharing a phone number. Designers and architects reach for the uncoated cotton feel because it signals craft. Boutique brands and luxury retailers slip them into premium packaging. Photographers, stylists and consultants use foil and debossing to make a single card memorable, and wedding studios love the painted edges. When you want the person holding your card to pause on the material itself, a cotton card does that work.
How do cotton business cards compare?
Cotton cards are the premium pick when you want the material to do the talking, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a foil press, a pressed deboss or a painted edge on its own, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up cotton business cards against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
