Prestige Collection Postcards

What Is the Prestige Collection

The Prestige Collection is 4OVER4's line of premium, extra-thick cards printed full color on any of 8 heavyweight stocks, from 26pt Metallic Pearl Ice up to an 80pt UltraWhite Uncoated Cover. It runs in 14 set sizes from 2.5" x 2.5" up to 6" x 11", plus custom sizing. Customers order it when a thin card would undersell the moment: heavyweight business cards, premium mailers, invitations, and menu cards. Because the stock has real weight, the card gets a second look instead of a quick pocket. If you want a natural, uncoated specialty look instead, the Kraft Postcards cover that, and the Prestige Collection sits right beside it as the heavyweight pick.

What Size Should Your Prestige Card Be

The right size comes down to the job. A 2.5" x 2.5" square reads like a premium mini card, and a 3" x 4" makes a substantial business card. Step up to 4" x 6", 5" x 7", or 5.5" x 8.5" for a postcard or invitation that feels weighty, or go all the way to 6" x 11" for a menu card or oversized mailer. All 14 sizes are listed below in the groups you choose from when you order, and if none is exactly right you can set a custom size up to 6 inches wide and 11 inches tall. For a premium card with a colored edge, the Edge Painted Postcards take the same heavy stock further.

Three choices shape how a Prestige card feels in the hand.

Pick a stock that feels like more

A heavier stock gives a card real presence the second it lands in a hand. The UltraWhite Uncoated Cover runs 32pt, 48pt, 64pt, and 80pt, so you can dial the weight from substantial to a card that feels like a chip. The Gloss Cover stocks add a smooth coated surface at 40pt, 56pt, and 72pt that keeps photos and solid colors sharp. The default 32pt is included, and the thickest 80pt UltraWhite adds only $13.80. For a soft pearlescent shimmer across the whole card, the 26pt Metallic Pearl Ice does it without the cost of foil.

Print the back, not just the front

A thick card has two good faces, so use both. Choose 4/0 for a printed front and a clean blank back, 4/1 to add black text or a note on the back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides. On a heavier stock, a two-sided design reads like a small brochure rather than a card.

Design it without a designer

The 4OVER4 template library holds 10,000+ free designs across the site. Open one of the business card design templates in the online editor and change the colors, copy and logo. On a 48pt or 80pt stock, a layout with one logo and open white space already reads finished.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Does the Prestige Collection Cost

A set of 200 Prestige cards is $78.70, about 39 cents a card, and it is also our best-rated quantity. From $29.44 for 50, the per-card price drops at each tier up to 5,000. Count the hands the cards will reach, a guest list, a mailing list or a season of menus, set that number on the slider below, and read the set total and the cost per card.

What Can You Print the Prestige Collection On

The whole point of this collection is the stock. You get 8 premium choices: UltraWhite Uncoated Cover in 32pt, 48pt, 64pt, and 80pt, Gloss Cover in 40pt, 56pt, and 72pt, and a 26pt Metallic Pearl Ice with a soft shimmer. Pair the stock with full color on one or both sides, and a 3" x 4" card feels like a far more expensive piece. Design studios use the 64pt and 80pt UltraWhite for business cards that feel like a portfolio piece, restaurants print menu cards on the 72pt Gloss so they survive a busy service (our guide on how to print menu cards that survive a full dinner service covers the layout), and weddings lean on the Metallic Pearl Ice for a little luxury. Whatever you pick, you can request a free online proof and see the file laid out before the run.

If you are weighing a colored edge, a natural kraft finish, or a bold dark card, the chart below sets the starting price of each close sibling beside this one. The Black Postcards are another premium look worth a glance.

How Fast Can You Get the Prestige Collection

The Prestige Collection prints on a 5 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 4-day, 3-day, 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production, even on the heavy stock. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same-Day orders need to be approved by noon EST to ship that day. Compare every turnaround tier in the configurator and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick.
