Slim Business Cards

These narrow cards punch above their size. They cost about the same as a standard business card to print, they fit slots a normal card cannot, and the trimmer shape does half the marketing for you. Want to see how slim 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 launch or a trade show 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 Are Slim Business Cards?

Slim business cards are narrow-format cards printed full color in 3 sizes, a 1.5" x 3.5" Slimmer, a 1.75" x 3.5" Slim, and a 2.125" x 3.375" Euro, on any of 74 stocks. Two of the three keep the familiar 3.5 inch length and shave the height down, so the card reads as a clean strip rather than the usual block. People reach for them when a standard card would blend in: sales and networking cards, staff cards, loyalty cards, hang tags, and inserts for shipped orders. Because the cut is unexpected, the card gets handled and kept instead of pocketed and forgotten. If you want the familiar wallet format instead, the Standard Business Cards cover that, and the slim sits right beside it as the version that stands out in a stack.

What Size Should a Slim Business Card Be?

The right size comes down to how trim you want the card to feel. The 1.5" x 3.5" Slimmer is the narrowest, a sharp strip for a name, a title, and a handle. The 1.75" x 3.5" Slim gives you a touch more room while staying sleek. The 2.125" x 3.375" Euro sits closest to a standard footprint but in European proportions, handy when you want familiar and different at once. All 3 sizes, both finishes and the full stock list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For a square instead of a strip, the Square Business Cards go a different direction, and the little Mini Cards are another small-format pick.

Here are a few easy ways to make a slim card pull its weight.

Pick a stock that feels like more

A heavier coated stock gives a narrow card real presence in the hand. White linen reads textured, metallic pearl catches the light, synthetic plastic and rigid vinyl shrug off water, and the painted-center stocks run all the way up to 80pt for a card that feels like a chip. The default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps it clean and cheap, and a High Gloss UV Coating makes a small photo or logo snap. There is even a 17pt indoor magnet if you want the card to stick.

Put the back to work

A slim card has two sides, so use them. Print full color on the front with 4/0 ink and leave the back blank, add a black back with 4/1, or run full color on both sides with 4/4. Turn on variable data and every card in the run can carry a different name, number or scannable code, so a whole batch prints personalized in one pass.

Design it without a designer

You do not need a design background to make a slim 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. The narrow canvas actually helps, since one bold idea fills it.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. The blank slim business card template is built at the real trim size with the 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.

How Much Do Slim Business Cards Cost?

Slim business cards start at $17.57 per set of 100, about 17.6 cents a card, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, where a full box lands at $1,844.39, under 2 cents each. A cheap slim card really comes down to how big a run you order, across 39 quantity tiers. 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.

Can You Print a Name or Code on Each Card?

Yes. Turn on variable data and you can drop a unique name, a serial number or a one-off code onto every single card in the run, so each one ships personalized instead of identical. That turns a slim card into a numbered loyalty card, a staff card with each person's own details, or a coupon where every code is different. Upload one spreadsheet with a row per card, keep the layout fixed, and the run prints one unique card after another. It is the easiest way to make a narrow card feel made for one person.

How Do Slim Business Cards Compare to the Rest of the Range?

Slim cards are the pick when you want to stand out on shape alone, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a standard cut, a square or a smaller card, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up slim business cards against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Slim Business Cards?

Slim business cards print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production. 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. Same Day orders need to be approved by noon Eastern to ship that day out of the NYC plant. Compare every turnaround tier below and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick.
