FAQ's

Business Card Benefits

What is a Business Card? 

A Business Card features your professional contact details and is designed to fit into a wallet, purse or pocket. They’re typically printed landscape onto paper or board with a weight of around 300 to 800gsm.

Often handed over during business meetings, their primary purpose is to enable further contact between parties. However, the exchange of Business Cards has become a tradition that marks a bond between companies and individuals. A Business Card is therefore essential for anyone wanting to take part in this custom.

More information on the origins of Business Cards is available in our blog about who Invented Business Cards.

Are Business Cards still relevant? 

Business Cards remain a must-have item for a number of reasons.

While it’s possible to transmit the same information digitally, a Business Card prompts a personal moment when you hand over your contact details. The card’s lasting physical presence also provides a tangible reminder of your meeting.

The look and feel of the card itself gives you an opportunity to tell more of your story. Your design choices, artwork, wording, and even paper stock and finish, all help to build a picture of your brand.

But maybe most importantly, the exchanging of Business Cards remains one of the traditional formalities that marks an auspicious meeting, and one that puts the room on a professional footing. If you want to take part in that custom, you’ll need to have a Business Card on hand.

What can Business Cards be used for? 

Primarily, a Business Card is used to transmit your professional contact details. That means the recipient can get hold of you in future, plus the very act of giving the card helps to form a bond with that person.

A Business Card with a blank area allows you to jot down a specific quote, product spec or message that helps personalise the moment and increase the significance of the card to its recipient.

Outside of meetings, a Business Card can be used to enter a prize draw, secure a wobbly table leg and much more!

Size

What Business Card sizes do you offer? 

Our sizes vary depending on which Business Card you’re ordering. Sizes we offer include:

  • 85 x 55 mm (Standard)
  • 85 x 25 mm (Mini)
  • 55 x 55 mm (Square)
  • 89 x 51 mm (American)
  • 88 x 55 mm (Alternative)
  • 80 x 50 mm (Small)
  • 90 x 55 mm (Long)

Can I make custom sized Business Cards? 

Yes, you can. For custom-sized Business Card queries, please email [email protected], as this isn’t something we offer on our website.

Please note: You can’t have rounded corners on custom Business Cards.

Paper

Which paper is best for Business Cards? 

The best paper for your Business Card is the one that best suits your brand and purposes. Solopress offers a broad range of options on paper stocks and finishes, all of which have been carefully selected for their suitability.

Silk and Bond cards offer a classic look and feel, perfect for industries with formal or established traditions when it comes to print.

Meanwhile, Laminated Business Cards offer a greater level of durability to keep your details fresh in wallets and pockets.

Eco-Friendly Business Cards from the Solopress Green range are recycled, recyclable and carbon neutral to help reduce your impact on the environment.

Other materials and options such as textured or metallic paper stocks and Spot UV or Foil finishes add a point of difference to support distinctive brands.

Which gsm should I choose for my Business Cards? 

A wide range of card thicknesses are considered suitable for Business Cards. However, anything under 290gsm might prove too flimsy and could reflect poorly on your brand. Conversely, anything above 850gsm might leave your recipient struggling to get the card into the slots of their purse, wallet or Business Card holder.

At Solopress, our Business Card thicknesses range between 400gsm Economy Business Cards up to our 810gsm Triple Layer Business Cards.

If I want to write on my Business Card, which paper stock is best? 

For a Business Card you can write on, you’ll want to avoid gloss surfaces that don’t absorb ink, and textured surfaces that will be difficult to write on..

Our Economy Business Cards on 400gsm silk paper are a great surface to write on. The slight texture offered by our Pulp Business Cards still provides a comfortable writing surface.

Our Metallic and Laminated Business Cards might present difficulties for a fountain pen, but a ballpoint pen should do the job..

Foil and Spot UV areas on Business cards will not be suitable to write on other than with a permanent marker.

Cost & Quantity

What are the cheapest Business Cards that you sell? 

Economy Business Cards are our most affordable range, starting from only £7.99 for 25 single-sided cards. They’re produced on 400gsm silk and are a budget-friendly option for restocking your supply.

Can I print multiple versions? 

Yes. You’ll find a dropdown menu titled VERSIONS on the product page for your chosen Business Card. This menu lets you select the number of unique designs you wish to print as part of your order.

What quantity should I select per version? 

The quantity you select for an order where you have selected a number in the VERSIONS dropdown menu will then constitute the number of each version printed.

For example, if you select 2 under VERSIONS and set the quantity to 500, you will receive a total of 1000 Business Cards – 500 of each version.

Are Business Cards vatable? 

Yes, Business Cards are vatable. While certain printed products such as books are zero-rated, VAT is payable on print items that are used as an aid to business. Business Cards fall under that category. For more info about paying VAT on print and exemptions for registered charities, visit our Support Guide on VAT.
