Question
What's the price difference between one-sided and two-sided printing on business cards?
Answer
One-sided printing costs less than two-sided printing. In print terms, 4/0 means full color on the front only, while 4/4 means full color on both sides, and the extra pass on the back is what raises the price.
| Print option | Meaning | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|
| 4/0 | Full color front, blank back | Lower |
| 4/4 | Full color both sides | Higher |
The exact gap depends on your quantity, size, stock, and finish. Enter both options on the product page to compare live prices.
