Plastic Business Cards

These are working cards, not novelties. Custom plastic business card printing puts your name, your logo and a clear next step on a stock that bends without creasing and wipes clean instead of fraying. See every plastic, paper and specialty card side by side on business cards printing, then come back here when durable is the whole point.

The math rewards a bigger run. A set of 250 starts at $180.02, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the count climbs, so 5,000 cards work out to roughly $0.19 each against about $0.72 at the entry quantity. Tap any tier below to see the live set total and exactly how much each step up saves you before you commit.

What Are Plastic Business Cards Made Of?

Plastic business cards print on 20 point rigid vinyl, a thin, sturdy plastic that resists water and tearing where a paper card would soften or curl. You get 3 stocks to pick from. White Rigid Vinyl gives you a crisp, opaque base that makes color pop. Frosted reads like etched glass, soft and slightly cloudy. Clear is fully see-through, so whatever sits behind the card shows through the unprinted areas. All 3 take full color printing and the same rounded corners, so the choice comes down to the look you want in someone's hand.

How Much Do Plastic Business Cards Cost?

Plastic business cards start at $180.02 for 250 cards, which is the minimum order, and the per-card price keeps falling as the run grows. At 250 you are around $0.72 a card, and by 5,000 that drops to about $0.19. Five quantity tiers run from 250 up to 5,000, so you can size the order to a single hire, a trade show booth, or a full team. Drag the quantities below to watch the set total and the true per-card cost update live before you order.

What Sizes and Shapes Can You Get?

You get 6 sizes to choose from. The standard 3.5" x 2" is the classic that fits every cardholder and wallet slot. A 2.125" x 3.375" matches a credit card, a 2.5" x 2.5" square breaks the rectangle, and a slim 2" x 8" reads like a mini bookmark. Larger 4" x 6" and 6" x 4.25" formats give you room for a menu, a punch card, or a loyalty layout. Every size can take rounded corners in a 1/8" or 1/4" radius, which suits plastic since sharp corners on a rigid card catch and chip. The full set of choices sits below, grouped exactly the way the live configurator presents them.

Clear or Frosted: Which Plastic Should You Pick?

Pick White Rigid Vinyl when color accuracy matters most, since the opaque base prints like a coated card with none of the curl. Pick Frosted for a soft, etched-glass feel that photographs well and hides fingerprints. Pick Clear when you want the see-through trick, a logo or a name floating against whatever is behind the card. A couple of design notes help here. On clear and frosted stock, a white underprint behind your text keeps it readable against any backdrop, and leaving part of the card unprinted is where the transparency earns its keep. For an even thicker, credit-card-grade feel, the 30mil White Plastic Cards and 30mil Frosted Plastic Cards step up to a heavier gauge.

Can You Print Both Sides?

Yes. Choose 4/0 to print full color on the front with a blank back, or 4/4 to print full color on both sides. The back is prime real estate on a card people keep, so use it for a QR code, a service list, hours, or a map. Two-sided printing costs a little more than one, and the configurator shows the exact difference the moment you switch. If a fully rigid, heavier card is what you are after, compare the Rigid Plastic Business Cards and the translucent Clear Business Cards before you settle.

How Do You Design a Plastic Business Card?

You do not need a designer to make this sharp. Start from a professionally built layout in our business card design templates, then swap the colors, copy and logo in the online editor and adapt it for clear or frosted stock in a few minutes.

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

Plastic prints richest when the file is set up for it. Run through the do's and don'ts below before you upload, on resolution, color mode, bleed, the safe margin and white underprint for transparent stock, and your cards clear preflight on the first try with no surprise crops.

How Many Plastic Cards Should You Order?

A run only pays off when you order enough to hand out freely without rationing them. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your quantity and watch both the set total and the real per-card cost move. It is an easy way to find the point where one more step up barely changes the budget but leaves you with a far bigger stack to give away.

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

Plastic is the durable, see-through pick, but it is not your only option. If you are weighing a thicker gauge, a frosted look or a paper card with a specialty finish, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines plastic business cards up against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose. The everyday paper option, Standard Business Cards, starts far lower at $17.57 when durability is not the deciding factor.

How Fast Can You Get Plastic Business Cards?

Plastic business cards print on a 7 business day standard turnaround, since the vinyl runs and cures differently than paper. When a date sneaks up, a 5 business day rush is available for 15% more on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Add a free online proof if you want to sign off on the layout before it goes to press. Compare both turnaround tiers below and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick.

Production speed is only half the clock. The other half is the truck. Drop in your ZIP code below to see the realistic ground delivery window to your door, so you know the full timeline, print plus ship, before you order rather than after. If the date is tight, our New York and Florida facilities and rush delivery options keep the trip short.
