Are rounded corner business cards more expensive than square?

Rounded corners usually cost a little more than square corners, but the gap is small. The extra charge covers a die-cutting step that trims the corners into a smooth radius after the cards are printed, so it is more about process than materials.

• The premium is typically a few cents per card, and it shrinks as your order quantity grows.
• Larger runs spread the setup across more cards, making rounded corners even more affordable per unit.
• Rounded corners resist bending and fraying, so cards often look newer for longer.
• They also give a softer, more modern feel that suits many brands.

For most orders the difference is minor enough that the choice comes down to style rather than budget.
