Question
How much should I budget for business card size dimensions?
Answer
Dimensions on their own barely move the price. What actually drives your budget is quantity and paper stock. Standard-size cards on a 14pt stock cost just a few cents each in bulk, while thicker stocks and specialty materials raise the unit cost.
| Choice | Effect on cost |
|---|---|
| Standard 3.5" x 2", 14pt | Lowest per-card price |
| 32pt ultra-thick or plastic | Noticeably higher, stronger impression |
| Non-standard (square, folded, die-cut) | Small upcharge for custom cutting |
| Higher quantity | Lower cost per card |
Decide on stock and quantity first, then treat the exact dimensions as a design choice rather than a budget line.
