Question
How much should I budget for amazing business card design inspiration?
Answer
Business card budgets stretch a long way, especially at higher quantities where the per-card cost drops sharply. Start by deciding how premium you want the card to feel.
- Most affordable: standard 14pt cards cover everyday networking on a tight budget.
- Mid-range: heavier stocks and simple finishes add presence for a modest bump.
- Premium: 32pt stocks, plastic cards, and specialty finishes cost more but leave a stronger impression.
| Tier | Typical choice |
|---|---|
| Budget | 14pt standard |
| Mid | 16pt with matte or gloss |
| Premium | 32pt, plastic, or specialty finish |
For most businesses, spending a little more per card pays off in perception and how long the card gets kept.
