Cut Your Card to Any Shape You Want
Die cut business cards, also called shaped business cards, trade the plain rectangle for an outline cut to your logo or product. These custom shaped business cards print full color on 27 stocks inside a 2" x 3.5" footprint, or a custom size up to 2" x 4".
Die-cut any shape business cards are cut to an outline you supply, not to a shape off a list, so the edge itself becomes part of the design. Nobody files away a card shaped like nothing else in the stack, and skipping the plain 3.5 by 2 rectangle everyone already carries is the whole point. Pick a Basic Shape for cleaner cuts or a Complex Shape for something more intricate, with sets of 50 starting at $95.56, and the card lands in a hand looking like an object instead of a formality.
A card cut to the shape of a bottle, a house or a leaf tells people your trade before they read the name. Comparing it with other cards? 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 50 starts at $95.56, about $1.91 per card, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count climbs toward 100,000, where it drops to roughly $0.08 each. Tap any tier below to see the live total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.
What Are Die-Cut Any Shape Business Cards
Die-cut any shape business cards are cards trimmed to a custom outline instead of a straight rectangle, printed full color on one or both sides on any of 27 stocks. A die is a custom-shaped blade that cuts the card to the outline in your artwork, so a leaf, a bottle, a house, or a bold monogram can become the card itself. People reach for them when a standard card would get lost: shaped logo cards, product-silhouette cards, hospitality and event cards, and standout networking cards.
Because the size is unexpected and the edge is custom, the card gets handled and kept instead of pocketed. If you want the familiar wallet format instead, the Standard Business Cards cover that, and the closest simpler cut is the Die-Cut Business Cards, which sits right beside this as the version with preset die shapes.
What Shape Should Your Card Be
The shape is the whole point. Basic Shape covers cleaner cuts like rounded silhouettes and simple geometric outlines, while Complex Shape handles a more detailed edge when your logo or object needs a tighter, more intricate cut. The default footprint is the familiar 2" x 3.5" business card size, and you can push a custom size up to 2" x 4" when the shape needs more room.
Because the die follows your die line, the outline is drawn to your artwork rather than a fixed preset. If you want a set geometric shape instead, the Oval Business Cards and Round Business Cards come pre-shaped, and the Custom Shaped Business Cards are another route to a made-to-order outline. All the die, size, stock, ink and finish choices are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
Three more choices shape the finished card.
Truly Any Shape: How a Custom Die Is Made
Any shape means the outline is yours, not one of ours. Send a vector outline on its own layer if you have one. A clean sketch or a photo of the shape works too; we redraw it as a cutting path and match it to the artwork before anything is cut.
- Send the outline, not just the art: a closed vector path on its own layer, drawn at the finished size, is the fastest route to press. Everything inside it is the card, everything outside is waste.
- Keep the corners open: a blade has to turn. Tight inside corners and thin spikes tear or round off on their own, so soften the inner corners and keep any narrow neck of the shape wide enough to survive being handled.
- Hold your artwork back from the cut: color and background run past the outline so no white shows at the edge, but names, logos and phone numbers sit in from it, because a stack is cut together and the path can shift slightly.
- Basic Shape or Complex Shape: both are choices in the calculator on this page, so the price you are quoted follows the outline you pick. Simple curves and straight runs are Basic; anything with fine detail or many direction changes is Complex.
- Size and stock: the outline lives inside a 2" x 3.5" footprint, with custom sizing up to 2" x 4", and runs on the same 27 stocks, from uncoated and kraft to synthetic plastic, rigid PVC and the 17pt indoor magnet.
If your outline is really a rectangle with a rounded or trimmed corner, the standard shapes are cheaper to set up on die cut business cards. The full range sits under business cards printing.
Pick a stock that feels like more
A heavier coated stock gives a shaped card real presence in the hand. The default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps it clean and cheap, white linen adds texture you can feel, silk and velvet lamination read smooth and premium, and metallic pearl catches the light. For a card that behaves like more than paper there is 15pt synthetic plastic, 18pt rigid PVC, and even a 17pt indoor magnet, and a High Gloss UV Coating makes a small photo or logo snap.
Let the outline carry the message
The edge is your best tool on a die-cut card. Cut the card to the silhouette of your product, your logo, or your industry, and the shape says what the card is before anyone reads a word. Print full color on both sides so the outline reads from either face.
Design it without a designer
Start from one of the free business card layouts, part of the more than 10,000 designs 4OVER4 offers across its range, and set your colors, copy and logo in the online editor. Then draw the die line around the art so no name or phone number sits close to the cut.

How to Start a Die Cut Card Order
A die cut card order runs in four steps, and the outline comes first.
- Send the shape: upload your artwork with the outline as a closed vector cut line on its own layer, or send a clean sketch we redraw as a cutting path.
- Choose the cut: pick Basic Shape for simple curves and straight runs, or Complex Shape for fine detail.
- Set stock and quantity: choose one of the 27 stocks, the ink on each side, a Standard or High Gloss UV finish, and a run from 50 to 100,000, with up to 24 sets in one order.
- Approve and print: pick one of the proof options in the calculator, approve the outline, and the cards go to press on the 5 business day standard schedule.
How Much Do Die-Cut Cards Cost
Die-cut any shape business cards start at $95.56 per 50, about $1.91 per card, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, where it falls to roughly $0.08 each, so a cheaper die-cut card really comes down to how big a run you order. An 800-card run is $182.33 and 7,000 cards run $711.75. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the order total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
Wally cuts your card to any shape you want
Why a card shaped like your brand gets kept, not filed away.
A die-cut card trades the plain rectangle for an outline you choose, a Basic or Complex Shape, starting at $95.56 for 50 on any of 27 stocks. The odd edge does half the marketing for you. Pick a shape, pick a stock, set your speed, and Wally cuts them sharp and fast.
Can You Print More Than One Design in an Order
Yes. The Total Sets option lets you print up to 24 different sets in a single order, so a team, a product line, or several shapes can ship together instead of as separate jobs. And before anything runs, you choose a proof: send it Straight To Production, request a Free Online Proof to check the file on screen, or order a Hardcopy Proof to hold the printed shape in hand first. On a custom die-cut edge, a proof is the safest way to confirm the outline lands exactly the way you designed it.

Die-Cut Any Shape Business Cards: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Basic Shape and a Complex Shape die?
Basic Shape covers simpler outlines and gives a cleaner cut, while Complex Shape handles more intricate silhouettes with more detail in the edge. You select one under Die Cutting when configuring the card. The more detail an outline carries, the more the Complex option makes sense.
How big can the card be if it is cut to my own shape?
The cut sits inside a 2 inch by 3.5 inch footprint, with custom sizing available up to 2 inches by 4 inches. Your outline has to fit within that area, so a wide shape gains its width at the cost of height. Design the artwork to the footprint first and then draw the cut line inside it.
What does Total Sets mean on the order form?
Total Sets lets you split the order into separate sets, which is how you order more than one version of the same job in a single run. It sits alongside the quantity choice in the configurator. Use it when several people or locations need their own card from the same setup.
How much do die-cut cards cost per card?
Fifty start at $95.56, which is about $1.91 each. The per card price falls to roughly 8 cents as the run climbs toward 100,000, since the die cost spreads across more pieces. That gap is why die-cut cards suit a committed run rather than a handful.
Which stocks hold a custom cut edge well?
There are 27 stocks, including gloss, uncoated, cream, kraft, white linen, silk and velvet laminated, metallic pearl, StarLustre, synthetic plastic, rigid PVC, and 17pt indoor magnet. Rigid PVC and synthetic plastic keep a crisp edge under repeated handling. The indoor magnet stock turns a shaped card into something that stays visible on a fridge.
How long does a die-cut card order take?
Standard production is 5 business days, with 4 day, 3 day, 2 day and Next-Day rush available. The finish is set separately, plain or with a High Gloss UV Coating. Rush applies to production only, so add shipping time to your deadline.
