Cut It to Shape, Seal It to Last
Two upgrades stack into a single card here. The die cut pulls it out of the standard rectangle, trimmed to a basic shape or a more detailed complex one, while a thin, durable 16 point laminate in silk or gloss seals the whole surface against scuffs, fingerprints, and moisture and holds its color long after a plain card looks tired. Sets of 500 start at $174.65, rated 4.8 out of 5 across 6 reviews.
The shape gets the card noticed in a stack, and the laminate keeps its corners and color intact after weeks in a wallet. Comparing it with other cards? Browse every style on business cards printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
This card starts at 500, not 50: $174.65 for the first box, about 35 cents a card. Each further 1,000 adds about $110, so a salon ordering for the whole team reaches 5,000 cards at near 13 cents each. The tiers below give the order total at all 6 steps.
What Are Die-Cut Laminated Business Cards
Die-cut laminated business cards are premium cards that pair a custom die-cut shape with a laminated finish, printed full color on a 16 point stock in 2 sizes plus a custom size up to 3 by 4 inches. People reach for them when a plain card would blend in: designers, salons, boutiques, restaurants and real estate agents who want a card that gets kept, not tossed. If you want the shape without the laminate, the Die-Cut Business Cards cover that, and if you want the laminate on a standard rectangle, the Silk Laminated Business Cards and Gloss Laminated Business Cards sit right alongside as the un-cut versions. The gloss laminated business cards video shows that finish up close.
What Shape and Size Should Your Card Be
Every card here is die-cut, so the first choice is the cut. A basic shape handles rounded corners and simple outlines, and a complex shape follows a more intricate custom die line for a card that looks nothing like a rectangle. For size you get two set options, the classic 2" x 3.5" wallet footprint and a 2.5" x 2.5" square, plus a custom size up to 3" x 4" in the configurator. Both laminate finishes, all the ink coverage options and the die-cutting choices are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.

How Much Do Die-Cut Laminated Business Cards Cost
Die-cut laminated business cards start at $174.65 per 500, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs to 5,000, so the cheapest card really comes down to how big a run you order. A 1,000-card run is $218.59, 2,000 run $328.42, and 5,000 run $657.93, which works out to roughly 13 cents a card. 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 into a shape people keep
Why a die-cut, laminated card outlasts the plain rectangle in the drawer.
A die-cut laminated business card does two jobs at once: the custom shape makes it stand out, and the 16 point silk or gloss laminate keeps it looking new for months. Start at $174.65 for 500, pick your shape and finish, and Wally prints it full color with rush speeds down to next day.
Silk or Gloss Laminate, and Where to Add Spot UV
The base is a substantial 16 point stock, and the laminate sets the personality. Silk laminated gives a smooth, soft matte surface that feels premium and cuts glare. Gloss laminated seals the card under a bright, reflective film that makes color and photography pop. Both protect the card from scuffs, fingerprints and moisture. For ink you choose 4/0 for full color on the front with a blank back, 4/1 to add black text on the back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides.
For a raised, glassy highlight on a logo, add a Spot UV gloss accent on the front, the back or both. On silk laminate the gloss logo stands out most, because the rest of the card stays matte. If Spot UV is the whole point of the card, the Spot UV Business Cards are built around exactly that effect.

Die-Cut Laminated Business Cards: Frequently Asked Questions
What does the lamination actually do on these cards?
A 16 point laminate seals the whole card surface and is described as scuff and moisture resistant, so the card holds its color after time in a wallet or a pocket. It comes in two finishes, silk laminated for a soft matte feel or gloss laminated for a bright shine. Both are sealed rather than coated with a liquid varnish.
What is the minimum order for die-cut laminated cards?
The run starts at 500 cards from $174.65. The per card price slides toward about 13 cents each as the run climbs to 5,000. The 500 minimum is higher than most business card products here because both the die and the laminating pass are set up for the job.
Can I get a shape more detailed than a rounded rectangle?
Yes, Die Cutting offers a basic shape or a more intricate complex shape. The complex option is the one for an outline that traces a logo or a product silhouette. The choice is made during setup, before the proof.
What is Spot UV and can I add it to a laminated card?
Spot UV is an optional gloss accent applied to chosen areas of the card, and it is offered as an option here. On a silk laminated card the contrast between the matte surface and the glossy accent is what makes it register. You mark the areas that receive the accent in the artwork you supply.
Can I print on the back of the card?
Yes, printing runs full color on the front with a blank or black back, or full color on both sides, set under Ink Color. Both faces are sealed by the laminate either way. Keep text well inside the cut outline, since the die removes area from the edges.
How long do laminated die-cut cards take to produce?
Standard production is 7 business days, with 4 day, 3 day, 2 day and Next-Day rush available. The longer standard time reflects the laminating and die cutting passes after printing. These cards are rated 4.8 out of 5 across 6 reviews.
