Industry Comparison
How 4OVER4’s Free Cards Compare
Only a handful of US printers actually ship free business cards. Here’s how 4OVER4 stacks up against the other two, row by row, from each printer’s own free cards page as it read in 2026.
| Feature | 4OVER4 | Tank Prints | InoPrints |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cards per order | 200 | 100 | 100 |
| Free program since | 2011 | Unknown | Unknown |
| Logo on back | Small tagline | Permanent | Permanent |
| Shipping cost | Free with coins / $5.99 | ~$9.99 | ~$20 |
| Online designer | Full-featured (Canvs) | None, bring your own | Canva only |
| Customer reviews | ~5,000 | Significantly fewer | Significantly fewer |
| Total cards given | 8.8 million+ | Not published | Not published |
| Turnaround | 5 business days production | Not published | Not published |
Competitor rows verified in 2026 against each printer’s published free business cards page.
The first row is the one that matters. Our free order is 200 cards. Tank Prints and InoPrints both stop at 100. Same free offer, twice the stack, and the tagline on the back of ours is a line of small type instead of a permanent logo. Our online designer is included, so you do not need to arrive with a print ready file.
Cheap and fast, after the free 200
The free set is one per account, so the real question is what a reorder costs. Standard 14pt cards start at $17.57 for 100 and $36.26 for 500, which is about 7 cents a card, on a 3 business day print. If the meeting is tomorrow, same day business cards print and ship the day you approve the file.
Paid Pricing
Cheap Business Cards Beyond the Free 200
The free order is one per account. After that you pay, and the price per card falls fast as the run gets bigger. These are the live prices for standard 14pt gloss cards, full color front, on the 3 business day turnaround.
| Cards | Price | Per card | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | $17.57 | 17.6¢ | A first box for a new role |
| 200 | $23.07 | 11.5¢ | The same count as the free set |
| 500 | $36.26 | 7.3¢ | A year of handing them out |
| 1,000 | $65.91 | 6.6¢ | Trade show stock for a small team |
| 2,000 | $87.87 | 4.4¢ | Two reps, two seasons |
| 5,000 | $131.81 | 2.6¢ | Cheapest per card on the ladder |
Thicker stock, rounded corners, spot UV and a faster turnaround each move the number. The configurator on standard business cards shows your exact price before you add anything to the cart.

Our Story
Partner With Innovators
They told us we were crazy. We don't want to be sane.
The Beginning
In 1999, Google was barely starting out. WiFi didn't exist. People were afraid of Y2K. And two best friends, second-generation immigrants and patent-holding engineers in Queens, New York, launched 4OVER4.COM as the second web-based printer in the entire United States.
The Innovation
4OVER4 was the first printer to introduce full-color printing with 24 to 48 hour turnaround. When the industry said it couldn't be done that fast, they did it anyway. No compromises, no excuses, just engineering.
27 Years and Counting
Over 350 products. More than 6,000 possible combinations. 150,000+ businesses served, from solo freelancers to Google and the United Nations. A facility in Queens that still runs on soy inks and waterless presses, because that's the equipment they chose to invest in, not because someone in marketing said “sustainability” was trending.

FAQ
Everything You Need to Know
Straight answers about the free business cards offer: pricing, quality, shipping, and what to expect.
Are the free business cards really free?
Yes. The 200 business cards cost $0.00. You design them for free with 4OVER4’s online editor or upload your own artwork. The only cost is $5.99 for shipping. But if you earn 500 loyalty coins (takes about 10 minutes), shipping is free too. So yes, $0.
What's the catch with free business cards?
A small 4OVER4.COM tagline gets printed on the back. That’s it. Other than that, you’re limited to 200 cards per account, 2 paper choices (14pt gloss or 14pt uncoated), and US addresses only.
How many free business cards do I get?
200 full-color business cards per order. One free order per account. If you need more, 4OVER4’s paid cards start at competitive rates with 60+ paper types and no tagline on back.
What paper types are available for free cards?
Two options: 14pt Gloss Coated Cover (smooth, polished look) or 14pt Uncoated Cover (natural, matte feel). Both are standard weight for professional business cards. Paid orders open up 60+ paper types including ultra-thick up to 80pt, metallic pearl, kraft, cotton, and diamond glitter.
How do I design business cards for free?
Use 4OVER4’s free Canvs editor. It runs in your browser with 10,000+ templates sorted by industry. Customize fonts, colors, images, everything. Or upload a design from Illustrator, Photoshop, Canva, or any PDF. Every file gets a free 30-point quality check before printing.
How long does it take to get free business cards?
Turnaround is 5 business days from order confirmation. Shipping via USPS. If you need cards faster, 4OVER4’s paid orders offer same-day processing from NYC (order by 12pm ET).
Are free business cards lower quality than paid ones?
No. Same G7 Certified presses, same color profiling, same 30-point quality check by real technicians. The only differences are paper options (2 instead of 60+), the tagline on back, and turnaround time. Print quality is identical.
Do you ship free business cards internationally?
No. Free shipping (and the $5.99 option) are US addresses only. Paid orders ship internationally through multiple carriers.
Can I order more than 200 free cards?
The free offer is one set of 200 per account. After that, paid business cards start at affordable rates with 60+ paper types, premium finishes (spot UV, foil, embossing), and no tagline on back.
How do I earn coins for free shipping?
Create a free account (an Instant task pays 500 coins, each follow or share 25). Then: share links on social media, leave a product review, log in daily, refer a friend. Most people hit 500 coins in under 10 minutes. Visit the earn coins page for the full list.
What are the downsides of free business cards?
With 4OVER4: the tagline on back, limited to 2 paper types (vs 60+ on paid), standard 5-day turnaround, and one order per account. The two that sting most in practice are the cap and the stock choice. 200 cards disappears fast if you work a booth for a weekend, and a free order cannot be cotton, linen or a 32pt card, so if the feel of the card is the point, pay for it. With other companies offering ‘free’ cards, the downsides are bigger: some only give you samples you can’t actually use, others only print one side, and most charge $10-15 for shipping with no free option.
Where can I get free business cards with free shipping?
4OVER4 gives you the business cards free and you pay only the shipping at checkout. Every order also earns loyalty coins that you redeem for rewards and discounts on later orders, and the loyalty page lists the current rewards.
Is there a catch or a subscription?
There is no subscription and no card kept on file. You make a free account, order one set of 200, and pay $5.99 for shipping, or nothing once 500 coins cover it. Nothing renews, nothing bills you later. The only trade is the small 4OVER4.COM tagline on the back.
Can the 4OVER4 logo come off the back of the free cards?
Not on the free set. That small tagline is what pays for the printing. Order the same 14pt card as a paid job and the back prints clean, with your own artwork or nothing at all, starting at $17.57 for 100.
How cheap do business cards get above 200?
Standard 14pt gloss cards are $23.07 for 200 and $36.26 for 500, which works out to about 7 cents a card. At 1,000 you pay $65.91, and at 5,000 the same card is $131.81, roughly 2.6 cents each on the 3 business day turnaround.
Can I design my free business cards online without any software?
Yes. The Canvs editor runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install. Pick one of 10,000+ templates, swap the text and colors, and preview both sides before you order. If you already have a file from Illustrator, Photoshop or Canva, upload it instead.
Can I upgrade from free cards to cotton or premium stock?
Yes. The free offer is fixed at 14pt gloss or 14pt uncoated, but the paid catalog opens up 60+ stocks. Soft, tearable cotton business cards and thicker prestige stocks print with a clean back and no tagline.
What is the cheapest way to get business cards fast?
Claim the free 200 if you can wait 5 business days, since the cards cost $0.00 and shipping is $5.99 or free with coins. If the meeting is sooner, a paid same-day order out of the New York facility placed before 12pm ET prints that day.
How fast can I get cheap business cards?
Free cards take 5 business days to print, plus USPS transit. Paid standard cards print in 3 business days, and a same-day order placed before 12pm ET leaves the New York facility the same afternoon. Shipping speed is chosen separately at checkout.
Are cheap business cards worth it?
The price does not decide the print quality here. Free and paid orders run on the same G7 Certified presses with the same 30-point file check. What you give up on a cheap order is choice: two paper stocks instead of 60+, and a tagline on the back.
