A Business Card Made From Actual Wood
These cards trade paper for the real thing, a genuine 65-point sheet of beech or cherry. Instead of ink on cardstock, your logo and text are laser engraved, laser etched, or foil stamped straight into the grain, so the mark becomes part of the card rather than a coating on top. Hand one across a table and it has weight, warmth, and a grain you can feel, the kind of card someone keeps on a desk instead of dropping in a drawer. Sets of 250 start at $470.11.
A wood card does a lot of the talking before you say a word. It signals craft, permanence and a brand that sweats the details. Want to see how it sits next to the rest of the range? Browse every style on business cards printing, or stay here and build yours from the real options below.
The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 250 starts at $470.11, and because each card is cut and decorated one at a time, the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count climbs toward 1,000. Tap any tier below to see the live set total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.
What Is a Wood Business Card
A wood business card is a card made from a real sheet of wood rather than paper or plastic. At 4OVER4 each one is a genuine 65-point layer of beech or cherry, and the design is added by laser engraving, laser etching or foil stamping instead of ink. People reach for them when a standard card would blend in: architects and designers, real estate agents on high-end listings, wineries and craft brands, woodworkers who hand out a sample of their trade, and weddings that want a keepsake detail. Because the material is unexpected and the mark is tooled into the surface, the card gets handled and kept. If you want a lighter natural stock instead, the Kraft Business Cards print on recycled brown kraft, and the Cotton Business Cards bring a soft, premium cotton feel.
What Wood and Finish Should You Choose
The base choice is the wood itself. Beech gives a light, clean grain that keeps type crisp, while cherry runs warmer and deeper for a richer look, and both are a substantial 65-point thick. Then you decide how the design meets the wood: laser engraving burns deep for high contrast, laser etching keeps it lighter and more subtle, and foil stamping presses metallic foil into the surface for shine against the grain. From there you can paint the edges a solid color, gild them in foil, or run a laser custom die cut that carves your shape into the top or bottom layer of the wood. All 3 sizes, both wood stocks and every finish are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. If a colored or foil edge is the whole look, the Edge Painted Business Cards and Edge Gilded Business Cards carry that idea across the wider range.

Wally trades paper for real wood
Why a 65-point beech or cherry card gets kept on a desk, not in a drawer.

A wood business card is a real sheet of beech or cherry, from $470.11 for 250, with your design laser engraved, etched, or foil stamped straight into the grain. Add edge painting, edge gilding, or a custom die cut. Wally helps you pick the wood and the finish, then makes each one to order.
How Much Do Wood Business Cards Cost
Wood business cards start at $470.11 for 250, about $1.88 a card, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs. At 500 the run is $733.72, and 1,000 lands at $986.34, close to $0.99 each, less than half the starting rate. Because these are real wood cards cut and decorated to order, the value shows on the larger runs. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, then find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
How Fast Can You Get Wood Business Cards
Real wood takes real handling. Each card is cut, engraved, etched or stamped one at a time, so wood business cards run on a 15 business day production schedule rather than an overnight rush. That build time is the trade for a card made from an actual wood sheet with a permanent, tooled-in design. To keep things moving, upload clean, print-ready artwork as a PDF, JPG or PNG, and production starts once your file is approved. Every order is backed by 4OVER4's Gold Standard guarantees, so what lands on your desk matches what you signed off on.
How Do Wood Cards Compare to the Rest of the Range
Wood cards are the premium, tactile pick when you want to stand out on material alone, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing another natural stock or a different premium material, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up wood business cards against close siblings like the Metal Business Cards so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
Who Are Wood Business Cards For
A wood card says something a paper card cannot. Architects and interior designers hand them out because the material speaks to how they work. Real estate agents use them on high-end listings, where a heavier card feels like a heavier commitment. Wineries, roasters and craft brands lean on the natural grain, and woodworkers give out a card that is literally a sample of their trade. Weddings and events use engraved wood for keepsake details. Anywhere the goal is to feel premium, natural and made by hand, a wood card carries that message in the palm.

Laser Engraving Against Etching and Foil
The three marks differ in how much of the wood they leave behind, and that is the choice worth making first.
- Laser engraving cuts deepest, so the grain inside the mark is burned away and the shape reads as a solid block from across a desk. Against the pale, even grain of beech it stands at its sharpest, and on the warmer cherry it sits quieter and more inset.
- Laser etching only skims the top, so the grain still runs through the mark. That is what makes it right for a background pattern, a large flat shape or a watermark behind type, where a deep burn would read as a heavy stain.
- Foil stamping puts color where the other two take it away, so it is the one mark that looks the same on either wood and the one that still reads under low light or from a distance.
Engrave when the mark has to carry the card, etch when it sits behind something else, and stamp foil when the card has to work at a distance. Choose the wood in the same breath, because the same file does not read the same way twice across a pale beech and a warm cherry.
Wood Business Cards: Frequently Asked Questions
Are these cards actually made of wood?
Yes, they are cut from real wood rather than printed to look like it. Two stocks are offered, a 65-point Beech Wood with a pale, even grain and a 65-point Cherry Wood with a warmer, richer tone. Because the grain is natural, no two cards are identical.
How is my logo put onto the wood?
There are three decoration methods: laser engraving, laser etching and foil stamping. Engraving and etching cut the mark into the grain itself, while foil stamping presses a metallic finish onto the surface. Fine hairlines and very small type are the first things to suffer, so simplify the artwork where you can.
What is the minimum order and what do they cost?
The smallest run is 250 cards at $470.11. The per-card price slides toward $0.99 as the run climbs to 1,000. These are made to order in-house, which is why the entry price sits above a paper card.
What sizes are available for wood business cards?
Three sizes are offered: a standard 2" x 3.5", a 1.5" x 3.5" slim, and a 2.5" x 2.5" square. Laser custom die cuts are available up to 3" x 4" if you want a shape of your own. The standard size still fits a normal cardholder or wallet slot.
Can the edges be finished in a color?
Edge painting and edge gilding are both available, with a color chosen for each. Edge painting puts a solid color along the cut edge of the wood, while edge gilding lays a foil there instead. On a 65-point stock the edge is thick enough for either to be clearly visible.
How long do wood business cards take to make?
Production is 15 business days, since each card is cut, decorated and finished to order rather than run on a press. Add shipping transit after that. If you need cards for a specific event, place the order several weeks ahead.
How much should I pay for 500 business cards?
In wood, a run of 500 is $733.72. These start at $470.11 for 250, about $1.88 a card, and 1,000 lands at $986.34, close to $0.99 each. The price falls that far because each card is cut and decorated one at a time, so a larger run carries the handling better than a small one.
What is a common mistake on business cards?
Letting type or a logo sit too close to the cut. The blank wood business card template is built at the real size with the bleed and the safe margin drawn in, so keep anything that has to survive inside that margin. The second is picking the artwork before the decoration, since a design drawn for the deep contrast of laser engraving reads differently when it is etched lightly or stamped in foil.
