Question
Should I order one big run of cards or several smaller ones?
Answer
Budget follows two levers: paper stock and quantity. A run of 500 standard 14pt cards costs far less per card than 100 premium 32pt cards, so decide the feel you need before you fix the number.
- Split the year: 2 to 3 smaller orders keep designs fresh while still earning bulk pricing.
- Right-size each run: base it on how fast you actually give cards away.
- Mix stocks by purpose: a workhorse standard card for daily use, a premium card for key meetings.
Staging orders this way keeps per-card costs reasonable and lets you update details without throwing away a mountain of unused cards.
