## Hand Over a Card That Survives the Wallet

Water, a spilled coffee, months of riding around in a wallet: a plastic card survives all three and still looks new in a hand. Clear and frosted stocks let the background show through, so the card reads as see-through rather than just printed. Plastic business cards start at $180.02 for 250 on 20 point rigid vinyl and rate 4.9 out of 5 across 66 reviews.

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](https://www.4over4.com/business-cards-printing), then come back here when durable is the whole point.

A set of 250 at $180.02 covers one new hire, and 5,000 cards for a full team work out to roughly $0.19 each against about $0.72 at the entry quantity. Tap any tier below to see its set total and what the step up saves.

### 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 keeps color accurate. 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. The tiers above and the slider further down show the total at each count.

### 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 specs panel below lists every choice.

### 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. Two design notes help. On clear and frosted stock, a white underprint behind your text keeps it readable against any backdrop, and leaving part of the card unprinted lets the transparency show. For an even thicker, credit-card-grade feel, the [30mil White Plastic Cards](https://www.4over4.com/product/30mil-white-plastic-cards) and [30mil Frosted Plastic Cards](https://www.4over4.com/product/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. People keep a plastic card, so use the back 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](https://www.4over4.com/product/rigid-plastic-business-cards) and the translucent [Clear Business Cards](https://www.4over4.com/product/clear-business-cards) before you settle.

Why a stack of plastic cards outlasts every paper one in the room.

### Print-Ready Plastic Business Cards Every Time

12 file checks for Plastic Business Cards before you upload

✓ Do

- Export at 300 DPI: Place every logo and photo at 300 DPI so print stays sharp, not pixelated
- Use CMYK color: Convert files to CMYK before upload so screen colors match the print
- Add full bleed: Pull background art a little past the trim so nothing ends with a white edge
- Respect the safe margin: Keep text and logos inside the safe margin on 2" x 3.5" so nothing important gets cut
- Outline your fonts: Outline or embed every font so your type never reflows or swaps on press
- Match the finish: Check the stock in the configurator before you design, so colors suit the paper

✕ Don't

- Skip low-res logos: Never pull a web-quality logo into a print file, it prints soft and blurry
- Avoid RGB files: RGB shifts on press, so colors print duller than they looked on screen
- Keep text off the edge: Text in the bleed zone gets sliced off when the piece is trimmed
- Do not clutter both sides: Cramming every inch buries your message, give the key line room to breathe
- No flattened-away layers: Save a print-ready PDF so transparency and effects survive the rip
- Mind the rounded corners: Rounded corners eat the outer edge, so keep art clear of the curve

## Plastic Business Cards: Frequently Asked Questions

### How thick are plastic business cards?

All three stocks are 20 point rigid vinyl, so the card has real stiffness in the hand rather than the flex of a paper card. That thickness is what lets it survive water, a spilled drink, and months of riding in a wallet. It also means the card does not dog-ear at the corners.

### What is the difference between the White, Frosted and Clear stocks?

White is opaque, so your color sits on a solid background and reads exactly as designed. Frosted is translucent, letting light glow through the card behind your artwork. Clear is see-through, so whatever is behind the card shows through the unprinted areas, which is what makes a clear card read as plastic at a glance.

### What sizes can I order?

There are 6 sizes, starting with the standard 3.5 inch by 2 inch card and running up to a 4 inch by 6 inch. There is also a square 2.5 inch by 2.5 inch and a slim 2 inch by 8 inch. The standard size fits any wallet slot and card holder, while the odd shapes are the ones people stop and look at.

### What is the minimum order and what does it cost per card?

The minimum is 250 cards at $180.02. The per-card price falls as the run grows, reaching about $0.19 at 5,000. Because the cards last for years, ordering deeper is how most buyers bring the unit cost down.

### Can I have rounded corners?

Yes, in either a 1/8 inch or a 1/4 inch radius. The 1/8 inch is a subtle softening close to what a bank card has, while the 1/4 inch is a visibly rounder corner. Rounded corners also stop the rigid vinyl from catching on a wallet lining.

### How long does production take and can it be rushed?

Standard production is 7 business days. A 5 business day rush is available for 15 percent more if you need the cards sooner. A free online proof lets you confirm the layout before printing, which matters on clear and frosted stock where transparency changes how artwork reads.

### Can I print both sides of the card?

Yes. You can run full color on one side only, which is 4/0, or full color on both sides, which is 4/4. On clear and frosted stock, plan the two sides together, since anything printed on the back is visible through the front where the ink is light.

### Are plastic business cards worth it?

They are when the card has to last. A paper card softens, curls and frays in a wallet, while 20 point rigid vinyl shrugs off water, a spilled coffee and months of handling and still lands looking like it cost money to print. The trade-off is price and minimum, 250 cards from $180.02 against $17.57 for Standard Business Cards, so plastic makes sense for a card you want kept, not one you hand out by the hundred at a booth.

### How much will 100 business cards cost?

Plastic cards start at 250, the minimum run, for $180.02, which is about $0.72 a card, and the per-card price falls to about $0.19 at 5,000. If you only need 100, the paper Standard Business Cards on this site start at $17.57 and are the cheaper route for a small run. Rounded corners, 4/4 printing and the 5 business day rush add to the plastic price in the configurator.

### Which type of business card is best?

It depends on what the card has to survive and how it should read. White Rigid Vinyl prints like a coated card with none of the curl and holds color exactly. Frosted reads like etched glass and hides fingerprints. Clear lets whatever is behind the card show through the unprinted areas, which is the see-through trick people remember. For a heavier, credit card grade feel, the 30mil white, frosted and clear plastic cards step up the gauge.
