Are sandwich business cards more expensive than regular cards?

Yes, sandwich cards cost more than standard single-layer cards. They use more material and require a bonding step to fuse the outer layers around the colored core, so both the stock and the labor add up.

• The premium comes from extra paper plus the lamination and bonding process.
• Quantity matters: the per-card cost drops noticeably at higher volumes.
• For premium positioning, the added cost per card is small next to the impression it makes.
• A small run of these often outperforms a large run of ordinary cards for high-value contacts.

Think of them as a targeted upgrade for people you most want to impress, rather than an everyday handout.
