Are clear business cards more expensive than standard paper cards?

Yes, clear cards cost more per unit than basic paper cards. The specialty plastic and the printing process behind it raise the price, but the payoff is durability and memorability.

• Higher unit cost - plastic material and process cost more than paper.
• Longer life - people keep clear cards instead of tossing them.
• Better return - a card that gets kept keeps working for you.

If standing out and staying in the wallet matter, the extra cost per card often pays for itself.
