Hand Out a Card That Gets You Booked
Hand one to a booker after a set, leave a stack on the merch table or slip one into a record sleeve. The card carries your name, your act and the one link that matters, a streaming profile, a booking email or a socials handle, printed full color on 14pt gloss for everyday use or on a metallic pearl stock that catches stage light. Sets of 100 start at $17.57 and hold a 4.8 out of 5 across 24 reviews.
A music card costs the same to print as any standard business card, and a QR code on the back takes the listener straight to your latest release.

A solo artist's first 100 cards are $17.57. A band stocking merch tables for a tour orders several thousand, where each card costs a few cents. Tap any tier below for the set total and the saving at each step.
What Are Music Business Cards
Music business cards are standard-format business cards built for musicians, bands, DJs, producers, teachers, and studios, printed full color in 4 sizes on any of 73 stocks. Musicians hand them out at gigs, sessions and merch tables, where a card with a scannable link does more than a name ever could. A QR code to your streaming profile or booking page turns a quick handoff into a listen. If you want the plain wallet format to start from, the Standard Business Cards cover that, and the music card is the version built for the stage.
What Size Should a Music Business Card Be
Pick the size by how you hand the card out. The standard 2" x 3.5" is the wallet shape a booker or venue expects, and it stays the default. A 2" x 2" square reads like a token on a merch table and frames a QR code well. The 1.5" x 3.5" slim slides into a record sleeve or a lanyard pocket, and the 2.125" x 3.375" gives a touch more room for a photo or a run of tour dates. All 4 sizes, both finishes and the full stock list are grouped below the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. If none of the presets fit, set a custom size up to 2" x 4".
Three choices shape a music card.
Pick a stock that fits the act
Under stage lights, Metallic Pearl in gold, silver, champagne or ice catches the light for less than foil. For a card that rides in a back pocket through a sweaty show, the 15pt Synthetic Plastic and 18pt Rigid PVC hold up, and the painted-center stocks go up to 80pt for a card with real weight. The default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps the price lowest, and a High-Gloss UV Coating brightens a cover photo or a logo. When you want that chunky, premium weight across a whole order, the Artist Business Cards lean into the same creative-first idea.
Put the QR code to work
Print your name or handle on the front and a scannable code on the back, and the card sends whoever takes it straight to your streaming profile, latest release, or booking page. Turn on variable data and every card in the run can carry a different code, so a stack becomes guest-list passes or one-off download codes in a single print.
Design it without a designer
Open a layout from our business card design templates (the full library of more than 10,000 free designs covers every 4OVER4 product) and put in a band photo, the act name and one link. Change the colors to match your cover art in the online editor.

Our article on what your business card size says about your brand helps you pick that size.
How Much Do Music Business Cards Cost
Music business cards start at $17.57 per set of 100, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so the run size sets the cost of each card. A set of 900 runs $53.83, which is under 6 cents each, and 8,000 cards run $179.25, closer to 2 cents each. Drag the slider below to set your count before a tour or a launch and see the set total and the per-card cost.

Why a stack of music cards ends up in the right hands.
A hundred music business cards costs $17.57, and the right one gets you booked. Print your act, your streaming link, and a QR code on 14pt gloss or a metallic pearl stock, add rounded corners, and Wally runs it same-day out of NYC. Pick a size, set your speed, and hand out a card that plays.
Can You Print a QR Code or Different Info on Each Card
Yes. Print full color on both sides and the back becomes room for a photo, a setlist teaser, or a QR code that links straight to your music. Turn on variable data and each card in the run carries its own code, name or serial number, so a stack becomes numbered guest passes or cards with a different download code on each. Our variable printing collection shows the other products that take per-piece data.

How Fast Can You Get Music Business Cards
Music business cards print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when a show sneaks up you can move that to 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production. Each faster speed adds a set percentage to the base price. Same Day orders need to be approved by noon EST to ship that day, straight out of our NYC plant. Compare every turnaround tier below and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick.

Music Business Cards: Frequently Asked Questions
How many music business cards do I have to order?
A set of 100 is the minimum and starts at $17.57. The per card price slides toward about 1.8 cents as the run climbs to 100,000, so a band printing for a full tour pays far less per card than for a single set. Many artists start with 100 for a show and reorder bigger once the design is settled.
Can I put a QR code to my streaming profile on the card?
Yes. A QR code prints as part of your artwork, so it can point at a Spotify or Bandcamp page, a booking email or your socials. Keep the code clear of the trim edge and give it enough contrast against the background so a phone camera reads it in low light.
Which stock looks best under stage and venue lighting?
Metallic pearl catches light and gives artwork a shimmer that a flat stock cannot, which is why it is popular for merch tables. Gloss deepens color for photo heavy designs, while uncoated and linen read quieter and take a pen if you want to write a set list or a contact on the back. All of these sit within the 73 stock list.
Are these cards durable enough for a merch table and record sleeves?
The stock list includes 15pt synthetic plastic, 18pt rigid PVC and painted-center cards up to 80pt, all of which stay flat in a stack and resist creasing when handled all night. A thinner gloss card is easier to slip inside a record sleeve or a tape case. Choose by whether the card is being handed out or tucked into something.
Can I get cards printed before a show this week?
Standard turnaround is 3 business days, with 2 day, Next Day and Same Day rush available when a date is close. Add shipping transit on top of production when you plan backwards from the show. Booking the rush at checkout is what moves the job up the queue.
Can the back of the card carry my tour dates?
Yes. You can print full color on the front with a blank or black back, or full color on both sides, which gives you a whole second panel for dates, a track list or a photo. Both sides print at the same 4 color quality. A High-Gloss UV Coating is optional if you want the back to shine as much as the front.
