FAQs about Business Cards


1. What size are your business cards?
Our standard business cards measure 90 × 55 mm, a size that fits wallets and cardholders — ideal for everyday networking.
2. Can I choose custom sizes for business cards?
Yes — we can customise to any size you would prefer. Many of our customers have chosen square cards or much narrower cards in the past. If you require a non-standard size or unique shape, we offer custom sizing and layout options on request.
3. What paper stocks do you offer for business cards?
We offer a variety of stocks including 360 gsm heavy card, 420 gsm thick card, 410 gsm synthetic (water-resistant) card, 350 gsm recycled card, and standard card stock. The most economical card stock we use is 360gsm heavy card.
4. What finish options are available?
You can choose from options such as matt or gloss cello-glaze finishes. There are also other finishes for special effects if required. Please ask for a specialty quote if required.
5. Is the artwork design included?
Yes — we include artwork design/creation/setup as part of the price. In some cases you may already have your artwork and we can then press check it for you at no cost. We can create a new design from scratch or base it on your existing card.
6. Can the business cards be single-sided or double-sided?
Yes — you can choose to print on one side or both sides depending on your needs.
7. Do you offer recycled or eco-friendly card options?
Yes — we offer a 350 gsm recycled card stock as one of the material options for customers wanting a more environmentally conscious choice. Please ask for a custom quote.
8. What quantities can I order?
Our MoQ is 250 cards. You can order business cards in quantities such as 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, and more.
9. Is delivery included in the price?
Yes — pricing includes courier delivery anywhere in Australia whether you are in a metro area or rural.
10. How long does printing and delivery take?
If you choose our standard 360gsm heavy card stock we usually print same day or next business day. However, turnaround can depend on volume and finish, but we strive to keep production very fast and reliable. For a custom order, we’ll advise expected delivery time when you request a quote.
11. Can I include a logo, contact details, QR code or other custom artwork?
Absolutely — our custom printing setup allows full-colour printing, logos, graphics, QR codes, etc., to match your brand.
12. What file formats do you accept for artwork uploads?
We ask for print-ready files, ideally PDF, EPS, AI or high-resolution PNG/JPG, at 300 dpi with appropriate bleed at 3 – 5mm from all edges, and crop marks.
13. Can I get a proof before printing the full run?
Yes — If you have asked us to design your artwork, then we will send artwork proofs until you are happy with it and have approved for printing. If you provide your artwork we will send you a proof for approval before printing begins if requested or if any changes have been made.
14. Do you support special finishes or enhancements?
Yes — besides matt or gloss cello-glaze, we can discuss special finishing options to give your cards a unique look. Just get in touch for a custom quote.
15. Are there bulk discounts for larger orders?
Yes — as quantities increase, the cost per card becomes more economical. Our pricing structure is designed to offer better value for larger runs.
16. Can I reorder the same business cards later?
Yes — once you’ve created a design with us, we keep the files. You can reorder whenever you need more, without re-submitting artwork.
17. What if I don’t have a logo or design?
No problem — we can design a clean, professional business card layout for you. Just provide your business details and we’ll handle the design process. If you need a professional logo designed we will discuss options with you.
18. Does Emerald Print deliver Australia-wide, including rural areas?
Yes — we offer courier delivery anywhere in Australia, metro or rural, as part of the standard service.
19. Can business cards be waterproof or water-resistant?
