Die-Cut Business Cards

How Much Do Die-Cut Business Cards Cost?

Die-cut business cards cost $26.37 for 100, which works out to about 26 cents a card, and the price per card keeps falling as you order more. A run of 500 lands near 9 cents each, 5,000 comes in around 5 cents a card, and by 20,000 you are down to roughly 4 cents. The custom cutting is baked into that price, so there is no separate die charge or setup fee to shape the card. Tap any tier below to see the live total for your run and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit a dollar.

Most people do not need 20,000 cards at once. The real question is how many carry you through the next stretch of meetings, events and handshakes without a reprint scramble. Slide to the count that matches how fast you hand them out, and the running cost updates as you go, so you order the right depth the first time and let the per-card price do the rest.

What Is a Die-Cut Business Card?

A die-cut business card is a card cut to a custom outline instead of the standard rectangle. Your card prints full color first, then a steel die stamps it into the shape you picked, so the cut becomes part of the design rather than an afterthought. You get 7 ready shapes here: rounded corners, a single rounded corner, an oval, a leaf, a half-circle side, a 2" circle, and a 2.5" circle. A round card reads friendly and modern, an oval feels boutique, and a single rounded corner is the smallest change that still makes a card feel considered. Want a silhouette built around your own logo or product? The Die-Cut Any Shape Business Cards cut to any outline you upload.

Which Stock Should You Print On?

You get 7 stocks here, a wider spread than most shape cards offer. There is a 14pt and a heavier 16pt Gloss Cover for photos that snap, a 14pt Uncoated Cover made with 30% post-consumer waste for a natural, write-on feel, a 14pt White Linen and a thicker 18pt Premium White Linen with a woven texture, a 15pt Synthetic Plastic that shrugs off a wallet and a spilled coffee, and a 17pt Indoor Magnet that turns the cut shape into a fridge keeper. The round and oval cuts look especially sharp on the linen and the heavy gloss. If you want the shape to hang on a fridge, the Magnet Business Cards give you that same stick-anywhere stock.

Shapes, Sides, and Two-Sided Printing

Every shape starts from the classic 2" x 3.5" footprint, so a rounded or single-corner card still slides into a wallet, while the 2" and 2.5" circles sit happily in a cardholder or on a corkboard. Print full color on the front and leave the back blank, add black ink on the back for hours or a tagline, or run full color on both sides for 3 print options in all. Finish it with a standard coating or a High-Gloss UV that makes the cut edges and colors read brighter, and turn on a free online proof to check exactly where the die lands before it goes to press. The specs below lay out each stock, shape, finish and ink option the way the live configurator presents them.

How Fast Can You Get Die-Cut Cards?

Die-cut business cards print on a 3 business day turnaround, and 99.8% of our orders ship on time. The extra step is the cut, since the cards print first and then run through the shaped die before they are boxed. When a date sneaks up you can move production up to 2-day, Next-Day or Same-Day. Each step buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Compare every turnaround tier below before you pick.

Production speed is only half of getting cards in hand. The other half is the truck. Drop in your ZIP code below to see the real ground-shipping window to your door, so you can back-time the order against your next event or meeting with no guesswork.

Design Your Card, or Start From a Template

Not a designer? You do not need to hire one. Start from a ready-made layout in our business card design templates, swap the colors and copy in the online editor, then place your logo and details so they sit well inside the shape. The one rule that matters with a die-cut card: keep your name, logo and number a comfortable margin away from the cut line, so nothing important rides the edge. Browse a few layouts below and grab the one closest to your look.

Run your own design software? Skip the editor and grab a press-ready blank instead. The blank die-cut business card template is built at the real trim with the cut line, the 1/8" bleed and the safe margin already drawn in, so your art clears preflight on the first try. Download the one that matches your shape, drop your design in, and upload.

Templates show you the starting point. A finished card shows you the result. Below is a wall of real cards our own customers printed in-house, across different shapes, stocks and finishes, so you can see how a circle or an oval actually lands in the hand before you order.

How Do Die-Cut Cards Compare to Other Shapes?

A die-cut card is the value way into a shaped card, but it is not your only route off the rectangle. A full circle, a clean oval or a fully custom outline each land a little differently in the hand. Before you pick, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up die-cut cards against their closest siblings, including Circle Business Cards and Oval Business Cards, so you can compare the starting price on each and choose the shape that fits.

Get Your File Print-Ready the First Time

Good design is only half the job. The other half is a clean file, and a die-cut card adds one thing most reprints come from: art that crowds the cut line. Run through the do's and don'ts below before you upload, on resolution, color mode, bleed, the safe margin, and keeping your details clear of the shaped edge, and your cards clear preflight the first time, with the cut exactly where you drew it and no surprise crops.
